Apart from the two units of the "official" Ferrari team, in 2024 there has been a third unit of the Ferrari 499P in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a decoration that is perhaps more striking in an intense yellow color. Profil24 has already announced to us that this unit will also be available in its catalog at a 1/24 scale, so that your grid of the legendary 24 Hours is complete.

Complete detailing set for the Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3 RS kit, including several photo-etched plates to further increase the detail of this impressive model.

Just as Porsche offers the lucky owners of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS magnesium rims that save up to 8.7 kg of weight, Decalcas also offers the lucky owners of the Tamiya kit a complete set of rims with the same design as the rims offered by Porsche, taking care of even the smallest detail, such as the knurling of the central nut, the recesses on the sides of the spokes, or the different dimensions for which are mounted on the front and rear axle. The rims have been designed to be used with the original tires of the kit. With the usual quality of Decalcas products, and the convenience of not needing to use primer, avoiding the loss of detail of the parts, you will only have to paint and assemble the parts on your scale model.

Decal sheet with carbon patterns to complete your Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3 RS model. In addition to the external parts of the body, the patterns allow you to easily "carbonize" interior parts such as the central tunnel, the back of the seats or even the entire roll bar.

The official North American Porsche team carried out an interesting "game" with its decorations on the two 911 RSR-19s that participated in the 2020 12 Hours of Sebring, a race belonging to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and each of them carried part of the American flag on its bodywork. Two very different decorations, but with a strong common link. And in addition, they achieved the double within the GTLM category. Thanks to this set of decals, composed of two sheets, you can complete either of these two decorations. To complete the correct model, in addition to the Nunu kit of the Porsche 911 991 GT3 RSR, the ZoomOn brand transkit reference Z187 is needed to convert it into the 2020 Porsche 911.2 RSR.
