Upgrade set for the Nunu Porsche 911 991 GT3 RSR that includes the complete rear diffuser and exhaust pipes, made using 3D printing and reproduced down to the last detail. These parts directly replace the unrealistic parts of the original kit. The new parts made by Decalcas faithfully reproduce those mounted on the Porsche 911 GT3 winner of the LMGTE Pro category at Le Mans. For example, the exhaust includes details such as the relief of the heat shields that surround the exhaust pipes, the supports that anchor it to the chassis, the clamps that join the different sections... And what can we say about the rear diffuser. No matter how you look at it, it reproduces every last detail of the one used in the Le Mans unit, including the fixing clips for each of the diffuser fins. Without a doubt, this set is absolutely essential for modelers who like to give maximum realism to their models.

Parts manufactured and designed with 3D technology so that you can replace the discs and calipers of the brake system of the Nunu Porsche 911 991 GT3 RSR kit. This set of parts reproduces in great detail the impressive brake system mounted on the Porsche GT3, designed to withstand the efforts of 24 hours of racing without failing. Included are the front and rear brake discs, with their different sizes and core designs, the brake calipers, the hubs with the central wheel nuts... and even the brake pads. Without a doubt, a great opportunity to present your assembled model with some of the wheels unassembled and enjoy unparalleled detail. 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.

Complete wheel set including BBS rims with Pilot Sport tires in 1/24 scale, along with air valves and hubs with central nut to detail the Nunu Porsche 911 RSR GT3 Le Mans 2018 kit. This set allows you to replace the rims and tires of the kit, which lack detail and are out of scale. Decalcas has paid great attention to detail, differentiating the front and rear rims, with their different area of joining the spokes to the rim... and has even reproduced the transverse gaps of the spokes of these BBS rims. Of course, the front and rear wheels are different in both diameter and width, with the rear wheels being larger than the front ones in both measurements, just like on the real car. 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,

With a model so destined to become a legend, it is inevitable that liveries will appear that recall other great milestones of the brand, such as the victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 by the Porsche 917K of the Salzburg team. How would those red colours with white stripes look on the modern 911 992 RS? Well, here is the answer... like a glove!

In the 1990 season Robert Droogmans managed to become European Rally Champion, and on his way to the title the victory achieved in the ADAC Rally of Germany was key. Reji Model offers us this decoration to use on the asphalt version of the 1/12 scale Italeri model of the Lancia Delta 16 valves.

Tamiya offers us a second version of its Toyota Supra GR kit, but incorporating a series of new parts to be able to customize it, just as you would do with the real model.

Tamiya re-edits its Porsche 962C kit, taking the opportunity to incorporate a new and striking decoration, corresponding to the one used by the Brun team in the 200 miles of Norisring, the sixth round of the 1987 World Sports Prototype Championship. This kit maintains the particularity that both the front windshield and the side windows are moulded integrated into the body, so a set of masks is included to protect them when painting the rest of the body. The decals on the kit are produced by Cartograf, a synonym for print quality and ease of placement.

The Jaguar XJ200 was rarely seen in competition. Officially, it only raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1993 and 1995, but some examples were seen in private hands in both the British and Italian Championships, which is precisely where the version that this kit allows to be made was raced. This XJ220 was slightly modified compared to the road car, and did not have factory support, but it did feature iconic decoration thanks to its main sponsor, Martini. The kit includes the BBS wheels that it used in competition, as well as a specific competition interior with seat, steering wheel, fire extinguisher and door panels. In addition, the kit allows the complete engine to be made, which will be visible through the rear engine cover.

There are cars that become icons, and without a doubt the Mercedes 300SL Coupé, with its gull-wing-shaped doors, from which its nickname comes, and its powerful engine, which made it the fastest sports car of its time, It is one of them.

The kit contains 602 plastic and metal parts, all of them pre-painted and ready to be assembled. Once assembly is complete, the doors open revealing its elegant interior, the engine hood lifts revealing its impressive engine, and the trunk lid opens to reveal the spare wheel. 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.

This new re-edition will have new rubber tires.

Italeri has recently almost completely revamped its Volvo FH reference, using new moulds to reproduce the low-roof version.
