Newsletter 685: Fulvia HFOctober 16^th, 2025

Without a doubt, we believe that the model chosen by Italeri is great news for many rally enthusiasts. Using entirely new molds, Italeri has developed a scale model kit of one of the most successful rally cars of all time, which established Lancia as a top brand in the rally scene. The chosen version is perhaps the most famous, having achieved victory in the 1972 Monte Carlo Rally, with the equally legendary Sandro Munari at the wheel. And for even greater detail, the kit also allows for the reproduction of the Fulvia's characteristic 1.6-liter V4 engine in perfect detail. In addition, a photo-etched sheet is included, with details such as the front grille, the air intake grille on the hood, and the hood latches.

Impressive scale reproduction of the harnesses used in the McLaren Honda MP4/4, to be used in the Beemax scale model kit, and not only for the "natural" shapes at rest of each of the different sections of the harnesses, or the detailing of the buckles, but for the exquisite care that has been put into the textures of the fabrics, where even the sewn parts of the folds of the fabric have been reproduced. Spectacular!

The historic circumstances are that this was precisely the first of Carlos Sainz's twenty-six victories in the World Rally Championship, also winning the World Champion title that same year, as well as the last of the sixteen victory in the case of Björn Waldegård.

It's curious how history, and even politics, can change the history of a brand. In 1936, the German Chancellery forced German industrialists of the time to manufacture high-end products, both in quality and prestige, which forced BMW to reconsider its commercial policy of manufacturing and selling popular vehicles. Thus was born the BMW 328, whose prototype was presented in June 1936, equipped with a 6-cylinder, 80-hp engine, and which quickly became one of the most desirable sports cars of its time. Now you can build your own, albeit in scale, thanks to this Heller scale model kit, where the engine, chassis, and interior have been reproduced in detail. The engine covers can be mounted open, as they are independent parts of the body.

The famous Alfa Romeo 6C 1750, mass-produced between 1929 and 1933 in various versions, was derived from the supercharged 6C 1500 model developed by engineer Vittorio Jano. Its excellent road holding, efficient braking, super-efficient engine, reliability, and elegant aerodynamic bodywork, the fruit of Zagato's talent, were the keys to the success of the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750. Now, thanks to this Heller scale model kit, you can build the model to scale, where the engine, chassis, and interior have been reproduced in detail. The engine covers can be mounted open, as they are independent parts of the body.

Designed with an innovative technique for its time, inspired by American manufacturing processes, the Citroën C4 was an exceptionally robust vehicle. Another reason for its success was the wide variety of body styles Citroën offered, covering virtually every need: 2- and 4-door sedans, limousines, 4- and 6-seater vehicles, hardtops, convertibles, minibuses, company cars, vans, minibuses, taxis... and even as a fire engine.
