AMS - New 1:24th and 1:20th decal sets

AMS8044

Porsche 956 'Ring 1984 'New Man' - Senna - 1:24

£9.80

AMS8259

Ferrari F310B 1997 - 1:20

£11.15

AMS8260

Ferrari F1-2000 - 1:20

£12.50

Intended for use with Tamiya kits all of these decals are superbly drawn and printed.


To build the yellow, white and black Porsche - shared by Pescarolo, Johansson and a promising young Brazilian - the yellow and black must be masked and sprayed with the white dividing stripes supplied as decal. Both Ferrari sheets are printed by Cartograf and include all sponsors logos and both drivers names. On the 2000 set there are - legible! - scrutineering labels and cockpit circuit maps for every round, though these are for Schumi's car only.

Reynard 981/991 CART p/e detailing set

£14.90

For Porsche to race their 956/962 in the American IMSA series a number of changes were required. One was changing from a 2.6 litre twin-turbo engine to an earlier design 2.8 litre single turbo unit with the turbocharger mounted above the engine. This in turn necessitated a modification to the rear bodywork. Various intake bulge designs were used and three of those are offered here. All are hollow cast in precise resin and will require a minimum of clean-up. There are a number of decal sets being released for Tamiya's recently re-issued 956 and 962 kits and these parts will be needed to accurately build one of those versions. The very fine p/e parts contain 1 set of seat belt furniture, 1 fuel filler and various wing endplates for both superspeedways and road courses.

Meri Kits
GPM - New1:43rd hand built resin model and decals

MKMR001

Lancia LC2 'Martini' Le Mans 1985 #4/5

£24.85

MKMR002

Lancia LC2 'Martini' 1st Spa 1000kms 1985

£24.85

MKMR013

Lancia LC1 'Martini' 1st Nurburgring 1000kms 1982

£24.85

MKMR026

Lancia LC1 'Martini' 1st Silverstone 6hrs 1982

£24.85

It's been a while since we had any new releases from Meri but these were well worth waiting for. Meri have captured the shapes of these stunning machines superbly. The only faults we can see are that the driver's names on the LM decal sheet are slightly blurred (the decals are fine in all of the other kits so it's probably a rogue sheet ) and the fuel fillers on the roof of the LC2 should be slightly closer to the centre line, but these could be filled and re-drilled and we are talking about fractions of a millimeter! The LC2 kits differ in that the Le Mans cars had a short nose while the Spa cars had a longer more elegant design that was used for most of the season.



At Le Mans Wollek, Nannini and Cesrio finished 6th in the #4 car while Pescarolo and Baldi were just behind in car #5. At Spa the cars performed rather better with Patrese, Wolleck and Baldi winning in #5 - Patrese, Nannini and Baldi recording 4th with #4. The LC1s also differ in the shape of the nose with the Nurburgring winner running a concave front and the Silverstone car a more conventional rounded nose. On both occasions car #50 won, driven by Patrese and Alboreto who were joined in Germany by Fabi. The sister 51 car of Ghinzani retired on both occasions.

SCD033

Chevrolet Corvette C5R Daytona/ Sebring 99/2000/01

£22.30

Superbly printed decals that will allow - we think! - 4 complete models from 12 options to be made. Each decal is numbered so if you have longer to sit and study all of the decals and instructions than we have it may be possible to build more, especially when combined with the decals from the Revell base kit! The options are 2 cars each from Daytona 1999, 2000 and 2001, Sebring 1999 and 2001 and Texas ALMS 2000.
