1/24 scale models
MONTE CARLO FABIA
ITALIAN CAR kit manufacturer Racing43 is well known for its 1/43 kits, but its latest offering is for a 1/24 Skoda Fabia R5 rally car.
KNIGHT OF THE AUTOBAHN
Nick Shuttleworth replicates a continental load-carrier with Revell’s superb 1/24 Büssing 8000 S13 truck.
HARD-TOP SPORTS CAR
Having delighted modellers with its soft-top MX-5, it’s taken five years for Tamiya to release the Roadster RF hard-top.
CLASSIC LIVERY RETURNS
Here’s an Italeri re-boxing of Protar’s 1984-vintage 1/24 Lancia LC2 competition car, used in the World Sportscar Championship between 1983-86.
GO ANYWHERE FIREFIGHTER
There have been many Land Rover releases, but Italeri’s repackaged Esci offering is one of the few to depict a Fire Service vehicle.
TACTICAL WATCH
Depicted in the kneeling position and armed with a Beretta 92-series pistol and slung M4A1 carbine, ICM’s fourth Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team member makes for an imposing presence.
All-New Performer
Having produced 1/24 offerings representing previous iterations of Toyota’s Supra sportscar, Tamiya has been quick to follow the recent fifth-generation model with a newly tooled 1/24 kit.
SNAP-FIT MACHINERY
There’s an increasing number of new-tool kits that can be constructed without glue, including this 1/24 Deutz D30 tractor from Revell.
TAXI DE LA MARNE
Alongside the London taxi iteration of its 1/24 Renault Type AG (see Reviews, Mar 2020), ICM has released a 1910 Parisian version, popularised as the ‘Taxi de la Marne’ following its morale-boosting role transporting French troops to the namesake battle in 1914.
HAULING LUPINE
Italeri’s 1/24 Mercedes-Benz Actros commercial vehicle returns with a new decal sheet enabling modellers to depict a ‘show truck’ in the distinctive ‘Wolf’ livery, differentiating it from the initial 2016 release (3905) and Revell re-boxing (07439).
