FLY CLASSIC MODIFIED 1/32
Idéa:
This class is for the fans of the great racing cars that participates in
LeMans and other great races in the 1966-71 period (FIA Group 4 & 6). Fly
has produced at lot of beautiful models of these cars in a lot of liveries, but
the technical quality of the cars has deteriorated through the years and today
it is sometimes impossible to race the cars when taken directly from its box.
Therefore we created this class which combines the great look of the
cars with useable racing parts to produce great racing fun.
At the same time we can use our technical skills and experiment and test
new ideas which often is impossible in current day racing classes. However it
is the basic spirit of the class, that the cars must look like scale models of
the real race cars.
