SMN comment
Our sympathies and best wishes go to all the victims and their families involved in this tremendous and still unfolding tragedy.
Twitter messages from Kyosho
It was brought home to us when we read the Twitter messages from Kyosho of Japan, respected for all its excellent RC products, and admired at SMN especially for its excellent 1:18 scale cars. The latest news is that Kyosho will be closed until the 21 March, so our best wishes to all at the company, and we trust you can restart on schedule.
Products in the pipeline
It’s not clear how badly Japanese industry will be affected by the disaster, but Kyosho at least has some attractive looking products in the pipeline, including this pair of classic performance cars, the US Shelby Cobra and the French Alpine Renault. Great machines, and by the look of the pictures, great models.
The pictures show, top to bottom:
1-3 1:18 scale Cobra 427 S/C.
4-6 1:18 Alpine Renault A110 rally race car.
