The Abarth OT1300 model was the successor to the Simca 1300, and was built using the Fiat 850 as a base. In 1967 some minor changes were made to the car, and a later version included a voluminous air intake in the roof. This is precisely the version that reproduces this complete and detailed kit. The different parts of the body, since both the front and rear are openable, the chassis and seat are made of resin, while the engine parts and other mechanical components are made of white metal. Additionally, photo-etched plates, decals, vacuum formed parts and rubber tires are included. Beautiful!

This version is also characterized by having a lower height support for the rear spoiler, a much wider nose in its central part and two different configurations for the engine intake.

New reference of the Beemax scale kit of the incredible Lancia Delta S4 Group B, in this case with the decoration used by the one who would end up being the European Champion with this car in the 1986 season, that of the Escudería Grifone with the sponsorship of Esso, and so recognizable by its combination of black and gold on the bodywork. And on his way to being champion, he managed to achieve up to three victories in Spain, one of them precisely in the Catalonia rally, which is the version to be reproduced with this model. Awesome!!

This reference is not a complete set of decals, but rather complements those of the Beemax Lotus 99T kit at 1/12 scale. In addition to the tobacco logos, which are not included in the decals of the kit, the numbers for the team's second car, number 11, are included.

This reference is a complete set of decals to replace the original ones of the Beemax Lotus 99T kit at 1/12 scale. This sheet of decals not only focuses on reproducing more accurately the logos of the version to which the kit makes reference (1987 Monaco Grand Prix), but also includes the missing logos and the numbers for the second unit with number 11. Furthermore, like any single-seater, the evolution of the car itself caused changes in the shapes of the Lotus 99T and, therefore, in their logos. The versions that this decal sheet allows to make are number #11 in the Belgian GP, numbers #11 and #12 from the Monaco GP and number #12 from the Detroit GP.

Decoration for the Porsche 936/80 sponsored by Martini Racing in its participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1980.

When we saw this product, the first thing we thought was... finally! And there are certain parts of the BMW M1 kit from Italeri, Revell or Esci that show the passage of time, such as the wheels and tires. And in addition to improving its design, the spectacular turbofans used in numerous versions are also included, where we can even see the rivets that hold the air channels inside. The characteristic honeycomb-shaped core of the BBS rims is separate, which makes it easy to paint, while the outer of the rim and the tire are in the same piece. But don't worry, a set of masks is also included so you can paint the tire without ruining the paint job on the outer ring of the rim. Among the 3D printed parts we also find the inflation valves and the central nuts. And as a final complement, a sheet of decals with the logos of the tires, rims and turbofans, including the marks that simulated the design of the M1's street rims. What the M1 will gain with good "tailored" shoes!

Second transkit option to convert the Tamiya kit of the Mercedes AMG GT3 into the new AMG GT3 Evo, characterised mainly by its large front grille and a much more evolved rear diffuser. The difference is that the front bumper of this reference includes the openings and the pieces to add the front fog lights. The parts, made using 3D printing, fit perfectly on the body, chassis and transparent parts of the original kit. Additionally, a sheet of chrome decals is included to detail the front grille.

Hexagon central nuts and axles for single-nut BBS type rims, made in 1:24 scale and manufactured by 3D printing. Give your model an extra dose of realism with these nuts and axles that take every detail to the extreme, allowing the possibility of adapting them to your design by presenting the axle and the nut nut separately. In addition, since the shaft is hollow, you can make the necessary modifications to the shaft, easily adjusting the length of the shaft that protrudes from the nut. With the usual quality of Decalcas products, and the convenience of not needing the use of primer, avoiding the loss of detail of the pieces, you will only have to paint and assemble the pieces on your scale model. A total of 12 nut-axle sets are included.

Yamamoto Model Parts has created its own interpretation of Mazda's 4-rotor wankel rotary engine, printed using 3D technology in high-quality resin, and you can choose between mounting the naturally aspirated version or the twin-turbo version. Each of the engine rotors is an independent component. The parts corresponding to the ignition coils and the tubes that go to the intake manifold in the atmospheric version are the only ones that come on supports. Apart from the parts for assembling the engine, peripheral elements are also included, such as fluid tanks, radiator, intercooler, battery, or cables, connectors and hoses.

These rims have some nice details! Even the BBS engraving is noticeable on the inside of the rim, and the definition of the central nut with all its indentations is perfect. Without a doubt, a great improvement that will be noticed in any of your kits of the Next Generation models from Salvinos JR Models. The set includes four 1/24 scale resin rims type BBS RE1948 with central nut, to be used in combination with the kit's tires.

Starting racing motorcycles by pushing, at least in the pits, has long since passed into history, and we have become accustomed to seeing the modern starters that allow powerful MotoGP motorcycles to be started. Thanks to Stone Models, you can now reproduce one of these starters in great detail. Even the chain to drive the rollers is detailed with its links and gears! In the box you will find 13 3D printed parts (one of them, a plate with 33 screws) and a set of decals to reproduce some of the ones used on Valentino Rossi o Jorge Lorenzo motorcycles. Start, let's hit the track!

Interesting news comes from Revell, which is reissuing its kit of the Bugatti EB110, which has a more than interesting part list, not only because it has parts to assemble its impressive 12-cylinder engine with no less than 4 turbochargers, but because both the rear and front hoods are mobile, allowing you to see what is underneath. A challenge for those who love supercars... and detailing.

Revell surprises us with this future novelty that reproduces one of the most impressive supercars of today, and that not only has a 6.5-liter V12 engine, but is combined with 3 electric motors of 150 HP each.

The first information about the kit indicates that the engine area will be accessible thanks to its folding hood and that the necessary parts will be included to reproduce the engine. Are you making room for it in the display case?
