Tamiya Lancia 037 Rally TA02-S rally kit

Coming soon from Tamiya is the Lancia 037 Rally on the iconic TA02-S short wheelbase 4WD chassis. The 1/10th scale model resembles Lancia’s monstrous Group B rally car that graced the 1983 rally scene and the moulded body captures the dashing 037 Rally form with distinctive spoilers front and rear. Separate parts depict windshield wipers, side mirrors and quad front fog lamps; recreations of lights use metal-plated and clear lens parts for superb realism. Also included are interior parts including driver and co-driver as well as a large Martini sponsor decal sheet. The shaft-driven 4WD TA02-S chassis offers great performance with 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, CVA oil dampers, realistic semi-gloss plated wheels and racing semi-slick tyres. The kit will ship by mid-March.

Coming from Vision Racing Products and made for the new Mugen MBX8 1/8th scale buggy is a range of aluminium and carbon fibre shock towers.
