With such a huge number of new items arrived from Museum Collection in one go, space dictates that we have to be very brief. We're not totally sure what they all fit on though the majority are for Tamiya kits. The decals are all clearly printed and include colour placement drawings and the majority of the car sets include fabric and etched seat belt sets. Those that don't are for the 1:12th Porsche, 1:24th Roy Lichtenstein liveried BMW 320, Enzo, F310B and the smaller of the Jaguar XJR8/9 set.

Some serious modelling will be required on one or two subjects and outline drawings are supplied with the Tyrrell 022 to modify the car from (we think) Tamiya's Tyrrell 023. The bike decals are much more straightforward, though the multiple option Paris Dakar set is one of the ones we aren't sure of a base kit for. No Ferrari collection would be complete without the Prancing Horse liveried Lockhead Starfighter plane which has full decoration supplied in 1:72, 1:100 and (closest for 1:43rd collectors) 1:48th scales.
The 1:12th F1 transkit sets include decals and etched parts for wing endplates and brakes. The larger sets also include turned aluminium rear wheels and intake trumpets.

Here we go again with another beautifully produced set of parts from Hiro. These kits are not for the first-timer, but there's plenty to keep the experienced modeller busy for a few evenings! The body and main chassis frame are cleanly cast resin and a huge number of equally good metal parts are included for the doors, bonnet, boot lid, fully detailed engine, suspension, exhausts, etc, etc.

There are also a number of turned pieces, various wires and cables, several sheets of p/e (some of which are for the spokes of the wire wheels) and realistic tyres.
The coloured piping set includes 1 metre each of red, yellow, blue and black fine plastic tube. This will have a number of uses, most obviously as wiring on larger scale models. The clear plastic tubing will also have a wide range of applications, perhaps as fuel lines on older F1 cars, drinks bottle pipes, windscreen washer tube on rally and Le Mans cars, breather tubes, again the only limit is your imagination. A must for all high detail modellers spares boxes.

After an absence of a couple of years we are pleased to be able to offer Scale Motorsport's accessory parts again. Why? Because they are among the best on the market, especially their very fine carbon fibre decals. Each sheet of composite decal is approximately 120x185mm and in the cases of the templated sets, each pack contains two sheets with slightly different weaves to the carbon and the clearly labelled patterns drawn on the rear.

The etched frets are extremely fine and clearly defined. Each fret includes a selection of grilles, wipers, brake parts and badges. There are even tiny AP Racing badges to go on the brake callipers in the Astra set! Using the carbon decal and etched parts together will help you create very fine models using Tamiya or Revell (Corvette) base kits.
If you find that traditional abrasive papers and cloths are a little unwieldy for getting into those tiny spaces, the Micro Mesh sticks are the answer. Five grades of abrasive from 3200grit to 12000 grit are provided as slim sticks each in their own 'matchbook'. The abrasives can be used wet or dry and will last for some time.
