Italeri has carried out a review of its Scania 143 molds to launch this new reference, which includes new parts and a complete sheet of decals to be able to make two different versions of the cabin design, and with the option of license plates for most of the European countries. A kit that, as usual at Italeri, allows us to reproduce in great detail not only the cabin of the truck, but also the entire mechanical part and the chassis.

Incredible model of one of the last Formula 1 Ferraris with the twelve-cylinder boxer engine, faithfully reproduced down to the last detail. The air channels of the brakes and the covers of the engine intake trumpets are reproduced in semi-transparent resin that faithfully imitates the finish of the real parts. Main body of the chassis and body in high quality resin for a perfect fit, keeping the white metal for most of the mechanical parts and interior of the passenger compartment. And as usual, everything completed with tubes, cables, turned parts... and a manual that is already a work of art in itself.

Amazing scale model kit of one of the last Ferrari Formula 1 cars with the twelve-cylinder boxer engine, faithfully reproduced down to the last detail, and incorporating the various aerodynamic changes Ferrari introduced throughout the season on the 312T3. Therefore, this kit features several changes compared to reference MFH-K794. For example, instead of air intakes at the rear of the sidepods, the radiator is located directly on the bodywork, allowing the engine cover fairing to be closed and the exhaust system to be rerouted for a lower, more lateral exit. The air channels to the rear brakes and the shape of the rear wing's vertical plane were also modified. With this version, Gilles Villeneuve achieved victory in his home Grand Prix of Canada in 1978. In the model, the main chassis and bodywork are made of high-quality resin for a perfect fit, while white metal is used for most of the mechanical components and the interior of the cockpit. And as usual, it's all completed with tubes, cables, turned parts... and a manual that is a work of art in itself.

Although Hans-Joachim Stuck competed in the German DRM for most of the 1981 season aboard a BMW M1 Turbo, he was seen driving one of the Schnitzer team's BMW 320 E21 Turbos at the Hessen Cup held at Hockenheim. This decal sheet reproduces this car, with which the brave German driver achieved sixth place on the starting grid, although turbo boost pressure problems prevented him from completing the race.

When we talk about a Renault R5 Turbo and Walter Rorhl, the first thing that comes to mind is the Rally where this couple joined their paths... but no, it turns out that the combination took place on the circuits, on the occasion of the Turbo European Cup that Renault held in the mid-80s. Walter Röhrl participated in the first two races of 1981, being in the second one held at the Nürburgring where he came closest to victory, fighting with Ragnotti for first place until the mechanics of his R5 Turbo failed. This interesting decoration has been reproduced by Decalcas for use on the Tamiya kit of the Renault 5 Turbo, and is printed by Cartograf.

Before adopting the iconic Martini livery, the official Lancia team used a beautiful livery on their Lancia Beta Montecarlo cars, with each car painted in a different color. This livery, which evoked the shapes of ocean waves, was created by Giorgio Rossotto of Abarth. Thanks to Decalcas, you can reproduce the red car that took part in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it failed to finish the race due to an oil pump problem. The decals are printed by Cartograf.

This livery, which evoked the shapes of ocean waves, was created by Giorgio Rossotto of Abarth. Thanks to Decalcas, you can reproduce the blue car that took part in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it failed to finish the race, as did the red car, due to an oil pump failure. The decals are printed by Cartograf.

One of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo's greatest achievements was its victory in the German DRM championship, thanks to Hans Heyer, whose success was based primarily on consistency. Although he didn't achieve the most victories (two in thirteen races), he did manage to reach the podium in nine of the championship events. Thanks to Decalcas, you can now reproduce this beautiful version, recognizable by its striking blue color, using Heller's scale model kit as a base. The decals are printed by Cartograf.

We all remember Hans Heyer's blue Lancia Beta Monte Carlo on his way to winning the German DRM title, equivalent to today's DTM, in 1980. But the car wasn't always painted in the classic blue of the Fruit of the Loom livery... and sometimes it was painted white, as in the season opener at Zolder. This is precisely the livery chosen for this new Reji Models entry, which finished second in Division II.

Pocher's tribute to the Ducati Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition wouldn't be complete without its V2 engine also being available for separate assembly, and Pocher has made it possible.
