Crazy...
Indeed, it was crazy racing in 1967 with a machine featuring the newly designed Ford Cosworth DFV engine, weighting a little more than 500 kilograms, delivering more than 400 horsepower, no traction control and no electronic aids... and yet they did it.
Also crazy was releasing in 1968 a 1/12 scale model kit, with rubber tires, fully functional suspension, fully functional steering... and yet Tamiya did it.
Maybe it's crazy, almost 50 years later, reediting the kit in 1/12 scale of the Lotus 49. Exactly that same kit? No, just better: with Cartograf printed decals, a photoetch sheet and turned metal air intakes... and yet, Tamiya did it again, with both the Lotus 49 and the M23 from 1974.
It might be crazy as well, after being missed for many years, to get back in our warehouse in very limited quantities the 037, the Lancia Delta and the Escort from Hasegawa; the 191, the 99T, the GT1, the GT2, the GT3, the 6-wheel Tyrrell, the RA272, the MP4/13 and the RGV-G from Tamiya... but we did it
And while we were at it, we got some other crazy things: the freshly edited Lotus 72E from Ebbro with new decals, as well as their Lotus 72C and their Tyrrell 003, the 037 and the Stratos with the Chardonnet decoration from Hasegawa, and finally in Spain the Ducati Panigale from Tamiya.
Are you crazy enough?
