Newsletter 701: TLK005February 5^th, 2026

Tameo Kits has almost finished its fifth 1/24 scale model kit. Yes, you read that right, 1/24 scale! This time, the model reproduced is a true legend among Ferrari enthusiasts: none other than the Ferrari 312T with which Niki Lauda won the first of his three world titles in 1975. The chosen version is the one used in the Italian Grand Prix held at Monza, where Clay Regazzoni took the victory, with Niki Lauda crossing the finish line in third place. This new kit is composed of more than 400 parts, entirely made of white metal and resin, complemented by photo-etched parts, decals, and new genuine rubber tires... which will also feature the word "Goodyear" printed on the sidewalls using tampo printing. Once assembled, the model allows many of its parts to be removed, revealing details such as the interior, chassis, engine, and the characteristic transverse gearbox, all without compromising accuracy, making it an exact replica of the real car Quite a challenge, but definitely worth it!!

Although in 1990 the team already laid the first stone with the participation of a Skyline R32 GT-R within the category of series cars or Gr.N, it was in 1991 when it obtained one of its greatest successes, the absolute victory in the 24 Hours of Spa, with an overwhelming dominance, which was also supported by the victory of Skyline registered as Gr.N, in what was one of the first Skyline victories outside of Japan, but without a doubt the most renowned. Any of the three Zexel sponsored builds, the 1990 and 1991 Gr.N, as well as the overall Gr.A winner in 1991, can be completed with this superb decal sheet, initially designed to fit Tamiya kits of the Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.N and Gr.A respectively.

Naturally, all logos have been more accurately scaled to the actual size, and some additional decals are included, such as those for the ballast weights that were added based on race results.

During the 1973 season, the Lotus 72D used some rather "special" front rims in certain races, as they were spokeless.

Along with the pair of the external part of the front rims (this reference does not include tires), rivets and valves are included, which can also be used to enhance the detailing of the rear rims.

Set of 4 Goodyear Formula 1 rain tires with the design used in the 1984 season, ideal for recreating memorable events such as the Monaco Grand Prix held in the rain.

It is recommended to use only acrylic paints. The use of solvent-based paints softens the resin from which the stencil is made, so the fine details of some of the lettering may come loose and disappear.
