All about the FORD RS200 – Tarmacworks Hobby64+ FEATURETTE
Hobby64+ and Ford RS200: Tarmacworks sets new standards! Although we are staying in 1:64 scale here, Tarmacworks literally takes the crown with these models. They are by far the most detailed models on the Tarmacworks market. A packaging design specially tailored to the model meets a sample that looks as accurate in the pictures as if you had a real rally car in your own garage as 1:1. Years earlier, we had the pleasure already of adding several rally versions to our collection with the Lancia 037.

MiniGT Lancia Stratos HF Group 4 – A dominator FEATURETTE
When passion meets ambition… The Lancia Stratos HF is probably one of the most fascinating cars in automotive history. Its glass cockpit which could literally have been taken out of an aeroplane as well as its driving characteristics made the Stratos THE dominant rally monster of its time. By the regulations of the FIA, manufacturers were forced to produce several hundred road versions of their rally adaptation.
