-It is [Toyota TS010 `Toyota Team Tom's --ZENT` Le Mans 24 Hours 1992 No.8] produced as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [VISION].
--This is a model that reproduces the [Toyota TS010] that participated in the [Le Mans 24 Hours] held in 1992.
[Vehicle commentary]
--The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991, when the Mazda 787B won the championship.
――Toyota, who challenged Le Mans the following year, brought in three TS010 Group C cars.
――Since Le Mans in 1992, the machine was mainly equipped with a 3.5 liter naturally aspirated engine (originally it was planned to be limited to 3.5 liters, but the number did not gather and turbo cars and different displacements by category Since the amount of old standard C cars also participated), engineering such as chassis and body will be a big deal.
――The consultant for the design was Tony Southgate, a racing car designer who was involved in the design of the Ford GT40 when he was a member of Laura, and has traveled to BRM, Lotus, TWR, etc. As a result, the CASIO color car is in 2nd place, and the `ZENT` color car released this time is in 8th place.
――It is no exaggeration to say that it is a famous machine that many Le Mans fans will remember because of its form that suppresses drag while firmly gaining downforce and its high total balance.
[Model explanation]
――Of the three TS010s, the most gorgeous light blue and pink-based coloring is the most eye-catching car No. 8, but the key to modeling is still clean coloring.
--Make Up model cars are painted one by one by craftsmen by applying masking tape, but they will disappear if they are painted on the prototype so that all cars will be painted in the same way. Although it is a step of about, the guideline is molded.
――Since the lines are painted separately and decals are pasted, there will be no individual differences.
――After applying the decal, the urethane clear coating, which boasts outstanding transparency, is layered on top of each other, and each coat is sharpened to achieve a mirror finish with no irregularities on the surface.
――By engraving a deep and thin panel line, we have achieved both a beautiful painting with solid colors and a sharp mold.
――The unique rear wing is made of resin with a thick wing tip plate, and one etching plate is bent into a [C] shape for the horizontal blade part to create a streamlined cross-sectional shape. Pursued.
――Since the C car is an aerodynamic measure, the part where the mechanism is exposed is very small, but for example, the wheel etc. is a combination of a ground aluminum rim and a sharp white metal cast disc (mesh part) and feels like a real car Is being produced.
――We hope you enjoy it side by side with the already released car No. 33 (CASIO color: 2nd place prize) and car No. 7 (NIPPON DENSO color: DNF).
--Acrylic base and clear cover included
