Peculiarities 1/32 ADS-R:
The Epic Race models have a sandblasted finish with a textured appearance similar to how they finished the race, punished by the soot and the dust from the roads of the 1922 Targa Florio.
It is delivered on a diorama base that simulates the stage of the port of Palermo (Sicília) where the cars of the participants of the Targa Florio disembarked.
The diorama includes the representative palm that appears in all the photos of the race.
- N.1- Count Kolowrat asks to mount a leather tarp in the open part of the fender to get rid of the stones and direct dust produced by the front wheel.
- N.2 – Lambert Pocher decides to use the fender for the race although this adds weight to the car. A handle is placed behind the pilot’s seat.
- N.3 – Fritz Kulm adds the right fender to prevent splashing. A handle for the co-pilot is placed.
- N.46 – Alfred Neubauer prefers to dispense with the fender used in training and travel. A handle for the co-pilot is placed.
