This decoration called Zero Fighter pays tribute to the brave Japanese fighter pilots aboard the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero (be careful, we are talking about planes), adapting its colours to those of the car with the characteristic red circle of the Japanese flag.

Perhaps one of the most striking and followed cars of the Alfa Romeo fleet in the DTM. The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti of the Schübel Engineering team was painted in one of the most recognizable and even legendary colours in the world of competition: Jagermeister orange.

Little by little, Miniature's references are covering all the decorations used over time by the Good Smile Racing team. One of those that was missing was the one used in the 2019 season in the Autobacs Super GT Championship, where black and pink were integrated with the rest of the usual colours. That season the team was regularly in the leading positions, achieving second place as its best position in the race held in Sugo.

For the 2019 Spa 24 Hours race, part of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and the Intercontinental GT Challenge Championship, the Mercedes-AMG Black Falcon team sported a livery very much in the style of those seen with the Good Smile team, which was actually one of the sponsors, but the theme was the premiere of the anime film Promare. Perhaps the livery brought them some luck, because they managed to finish the race in third place.

Resin kit that will allow you to reproduce the second unit of the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR that the official Porsche team put on track for the 1973 edition of the 1973 24 Hours of Le Mans.
