Decal sheet to reproduce the version of the Lancia Fulvia HF that won the RAC Rally (number 6) and the San Remo Rally (number 12) in 1969. The creation of a World Championship was still a few years away, with the European Championship perhaps being the most important at the time. Thanks to these two victories, plus two more in the RACE Rally de España and the Rallye Méditerranée, Harry Källström became the European Champion in 1969.

Trail motorcycles are designed to cover many kilometres comfortably regardless of the road conditions, and that is why they are ideal motorcycles for travelling, but where to put the luggage? That is why manufacturers offer accessories that increase the cargo space of their motorcycles, and like them, Meng Model has prepared a set of luggage cases to complete your kit of the BMW R1250 GS, including the bases and supports that adapt perfectly to the chassis of the kit. Where do you want to go?

Meng Model has surprised us with this scale model kit, which allows you to reproduce one of the icons among supersports, the Ninja ZX-10R. This kit accurately reproduces its aerodynamic design, as well as its powerful 998cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, inline-four engine. The twin-beam chassis, which balances strength and lightness, and the inverted front fork have also been carefully reproduced. The three-spoke forged rims have been reproduced in great detail, and the front and rear shock absorbers, as well as the steering damper, are movable. The kit includes seats and tires made of soft vinyl, which realistically reproduce the texture of the real parts. The stainless steel brake discs are not only highly detailed but also offer a texture similar to the authentic one. The mirrors and the Kawasaki emblem have been recreated with transferable metallic stickers, offering realistic details. The kit allows for three different paint schemes to be completed, with a high-quality decal sheet, including a very special one, the 40th Anniversary, inspired by the World Superbike Championship-winning ZXR-7, with details such as the specially designed tri-colour tank or the silver-painted frame, as was the style in the 1980s.
