After seeing the Lotus Ford Cosworth 72D reproduced in almost all scales, we were missing the 1/43 option. But now, it's finally going to be possible! Tameo Kits has just announced its development within its special series of Formula 1 World Champions... and the 1972 champion couldn't be missing from its catalogue.

Collector's assembled model that reproduces the version of the Subaru Impreza WRC S5 with which the Panizzi brothers participated in the 1999 Monte-Carlo Automobile Rally. The purpose of this participation was to adapt them to driving in WRC vehicles with four-wheel drive and turbo engines, since that season Peugeot made the leap to the top category of rallies with the Peugeot 206 WRC, very different from the 306 Maxi used until 1998.

The central nuts also collect the machining that allows a quick and precise tightening of the wheels in the pit stops. The pre-cut masks will allow you to easily paint the tires and rims without interference in the paint. All the pieces are printed in 3D resin with the usual quality of Decalcas, so you can assemble your model with the realism it deserves,

There are cars that don't need to be supercars to become icons of a generation. For many, the car of their dreams was much more earthly, but with performance and efficiency that would put more than one vehicle with twice the power to shame. GTIs became very popular in the early 90s, and one of their references was the Peugeot 205, especially with its 1.9 version whose engine reached 130 hp of power. This, together with its scant 900 kg of weight, allowed the little 205 to exceed the 200 km/h barrier. Couldn't have one? Don't worry. Now you can build your own 1/8 scale replica, with a model where every element, every shade of colour and every line is reproduced with absolute precision. The kit contains all the plastic and metal parts already pre-painted and ready to be assembled. Once the assembly of the model is complete, all the doors and hoods open, revealing the engine and its striking interior. And if all this were not enough, it has functions to control the sound of the engine and the activation of the front and rear lights. An exceptional reproduction with extreme attention to detail.
