1966 saw the inauguration of the Canadian-American Challenge Cup (CAN-AM), which raced
two-seater, open-top machines with unlimited engine displacements. Although held domestically, this unique series saw many F1 drivers in attendance and quickly gained popularity due
to the dynamic performances of the high-powered machines. It became one of the most exciting race categories after F1 GP and the World Sports Car Championship. Founded by F1
driver Bruce McLaren in 1963, Bruce McLaren Motor Racing raced CAN-AM and F1 GP from
1966. The 1966 CAN-AM season saw B. McLaren drive the McLaren M1B to the 3rd place
overall ranking. The following year, he drove the M6A and won the championship, which led
to the team’s successful period. In 1968, the team entered the M8A which was lighter, had
enhanced aerodynamics, and adapted the same monocoque structure of other F1 machines
with the engine firmly connected to the rear bulkhead. The wedge-shaped body produced an
increased downforce effect and featured air intakes with NASA ducts. It was powered by a
620hp Chevrolet V8 7-liter engine with eight 40cm long air funnels. In this six race series, D.
Hulme and B. McLaren drove the M8A and took 3 and 1 wins respectively to dominate the
season. Not resting on their laurels, the M8A continually evolved with the M8B, M8D, and
M8F respectively. Despite the tragic test drive accident that involved B. McLaren in 1970, the
team swept the CAM-AM, taking 5 consecutive championships from 1967 to 1971.

1965 saw the debut of the open-top 2-seater Lola T-70. The following years saw also
saw the introduction of evolved T-70 Mk.I, Mk.II, and the 1973 released Mk.III models.
Most of the Mk.III’s were equipped with 5,000-6,000cc Chevrolet V8 engines but in
some cases they were powered by Ford and Aston Martin engines. At the 1967 Nürburgring 1000km, Lola entered a Mk.III which featured a distinctive white striped livery on a
dark blue body. After the qualifying rounds, it recorded the 2nd fastest time but unfortunately retired during the race. In 1968, two Mk.III’s were entered in the Japan GP by the
Taki Racing Team and qualified in 3rd and 5th positions respectively. Although both cars
retired from the race, they left a great impression on motorsports fans with their dynamic
performances.

14117 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 ’09 Fiat Yamaha Team
Availability: October
Q
A
To say that the MotoGP class in 2009 belonged to the two Fiat Yamaha Team riders and
their YZR-M1 machines would not be an overstatement. Of the 17 races, only once did
Valentino Rossi and teammate Jorge Lorenzo fail to make the podium. Rossi’s six wins and
Lorenzo’s four allowed them to claim 1st and 2nd place respectively in the rider standings,
with the pair achieving five 1-2 finishes in the process for a dominating season.
Although the YZR-M1 could be called the best MotoGP bike of 2009, its beginnings were
not so auspicious. Yamaha developed the YZR-M1 to meet new MotoGP class regulations
in 2002 which called for a switch from 2-stroke 500cc to 4-stroke 990cc engines. The first
YZR-M1’s frame design was based on that of the 2-stoke YZR500 and it was powered by
a carbureted 942cc DOHC inline-4 engine with five valves per cylinder. Plagued by lack of
power throughout the 2002 season, a specially designed frame was introduced at Rd. 10
Czech GP, but rider Max Biaggi was limited to two wins despite this. 2003 saw a complete
redesign with an all-new frame and engine, but the bike was unable to achieve its potential
and finished the season winless. The turning point came in 2004 with the arrival of Valentino
Rossi, who had won the world championship the year before while riding for Honda. During
pre-season testing, Yamaha readied four types of engines and entrusted Rossi with deciding
which to use. The chosen DOHC crossplane crankshaft inline-4 engine with four valves
per cylinder went on to power Rossi’s YZR-M1 to the 2004 championship title. In 2005, a
new frame combined with a more powerful engine allowed Rossi to dominate, winning 11 of
17 races to claim the triple crown of Rider, Team, and Manufacturer championships. Rival
machines overtook the YZR-M1 to win in 2006 and 2007, but in 2008 Yamaha introduced
a pneumatic valve system to their engine as well as new rider Jorge Lorenzo, the previous
season’s 250cc class champion, and these additions

enabled them to reclaim the three MotoGP titles that year.
Developed for Yamaha’s bid to retain their titles, the key aspect of the 2009 YZR-M1 was
its ability to cope with the tires from designated sole supplier Bridgestone. The frame’s lateral,
longitudinal, and torsional rigidity balance was revised and the rider’s center of gravity was
lowered. Fuel efficiency was increased together with engine power, and in consideration of
the limits placed on the number of engines which could be used from Rd. 11 on, reliability was
also enhanced. In addition, EMS (Engine Management System) precision was refined, with
the wheelie control, which greatly affects acceleration during starts, significantly upgraded in
particular.
About the Model
-This is an assembly model kit of the 2009 Fiat Yamaha Team YZR-M1.
-The mechanical aspects of the 2009 YZR-M1 including its powerful 800cc 4-cylinder engine

Yamaha fielded four YZR-M1 bikes during the 2009 MotoGP season, two from the Fiat Yamaha
Team and two from the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team. In an impressive demonstration of the bike’s
dominance, YZR-M1 riders achieved podium finishes in every single one of the season’s 17 races,
including 6 wins by Fiat Yamaha Team’s Valentino Rossi, 4 wins by his teammate Jorge Lorenzo, and
a 2nd place result at Rd.10 British GP by Tech 3 rider Colin Edwards.
Tech 3 was founded by former GP rider Herve Poncharal in 1989 and is based in Provence, in
southern France. The team started out by entering the 250cc class with rider Dominique Sarron in 1990
and signed French rider Olivier Jacque in 1995 as they steadily established their reputation. Shinya
Nakano was added to the rider lineup in 1999, setting the stage for the climax of the team’s 250cc
class success in 2000. That season, not only did the duo of Olivier Jacque and Shinya Nakano sweep
aside all competition in the 250cc class to achieve a 1-2 finish in the overall rider standings, their
dramatic championship-deciding final lap at the Australian GP would be remembered as one of the
closest finishes in GP history. 2001 saw both riders move up to the 500cc class YZR500 bike as Tech 3
became Yamaha’s main satellite team. In 2002, when the premier motorcycle racing class was renamed
MotoGP, new regulations called for a switch from 2-stroke 500cc to 4-stroke 990cc engines. Yamaha’s
YZR-M1 was developed to comply with this change and Tech 3 began fielding this bike toward the
end of that season.
For 2008, the team named former Superbike World Champions Colin Edwards and James Toseland
as its riders and expectations were high. Edwards took 3rd place at the French and Dutch GPs while
Toseland scored six 6th place finishes, leading to 7th and 11th place respecticvely on the overall rider
rankings for a commendable debut season.

American beverage brand Monster Energy became the team’s main sponsor in 2009 and the team’s
name was thus changed to Monster Yamaha Tech 3. Its YZR-M1 bikes were adorned with white and
fluorescent yellow graphics, including Monster Energy’s three claw mark logo, on a black-colored
body, a livery which stood in sharp contrast to the two-tone Pearl White and Metallic Blue works team
machines. Responding to new regulations which designated Bridgestone as the sole tire supplier, the
2009 YZR-M1’s design incorporated a number of improvements to enhance its potential. Despite not
being familiar with the Bridgestone tires, Edwards quickly grew accustomed to them and consistently
earned points. His performance at Rd.10 British GP, which began in nearly dry conditions but turned
into a wet race, was particularly notable. It was a race in which the flag-to-flag rule, which allows
riders to switch to bikes with more appropriate tires in accordance to weather developments, was
implemented. Despite having qualified in 6th place on the starting grid, Edwards rode tentatively in
15th place during the early part of the race due to the tricky track surface conditions and his selection
of slick tires. However, he was able to discern the surface conditions and make his way up through the
field. As other riders entered the pits to change bikes, Edwards stayed on his slick tires, rising to 5th
place by Lap 20 and 3rd place by Lap 23, setting the fastest lap time in the process. Edwards went on
to dramatically clinch 2nd place with an overtaking maneuver at the final corner on the final lap. His
performance helped the YZR-M1 place a rider on every race podium during the season for the second
year in a row.

Founded by the brilliant designer Colin Chapman, Team Lotus entered their first Formula 1 race in
1958 and went on to contribute numerous revolutionary innovations to motorsport. The Lotus 25 with
which team driver Jim Clark won championship titles in 1963 and 1965 was painted with the national
team color of British Racing Green. This long tradition of applying national colors onto racing cars
was broken by none other than Team Lotus. The Lotus 49 in 1968 replaced British Racing Green with
a white, red, and gold livery to become the first Formula 1 machine to feature sponsor colors. This
implementation of sponsor colors continued with the Lotus 72 from 1973, which featured a stunning
black livery that went on to adorn the team’s dominant cars until the 1978 season’s Lotus Type 79.
In 1979, the Italian alcoholic beverage company Martini & Rossi became Team Lotus’ main sponsor
and so the championship-winning “Black Beauty” Type 79 from the previous year was repainted with
new colors. When one mentions Martini & Rossi, their famous sponsorship of Porsche in the World
Championship for Makes of the 1970s comes to mind and their widely-recognized livery featured
orange, blue, and red stripes on a white colored body. While the Lotus Type 79 which lined up on
the grid at the opening race did indeed feature the Martini Racing logo and the stripes, its body color
surprisingly was not white, but rather British Racing Green. It is said that this change was made at
the request of Martini & Rossi’s owner at the time, who was a keen admirer of Jim Clark. Another
noteworthy point was that other teams had developed and fielded cars which were strikingly similar
to the Type 79 in both external appearance and technical aspects, including the downforce-generating
inverted wing surfaces within the side pontoons, in order to gain competitiveness against Team Lotus.
The Team Lotus lineup in 1979 consisted of the previous year’s champion Mario Andretti and
former Ferrari driver Carlos Reutemann, and both were supposed to be behind the wheel of the new
Lotus Type 80. Although this car had a more evolved ground effect design, the airflow could not be
adequately harnessed to produce downforce, making it difficult to control. The car was not ready in
time for the season’s start, thus necessitating a return to the Type 79. Reutemann and Andretti placed
2nd and 5th respectively at the opening race in Argentina, and although Reutemann also achieved

finishes in Spain and Monaco, Team Lotus ended the season winless as they could not overcome
the other teams’ second-generation ground-effect cars. In the end, the Type 80 only managed to race
at Round 5 Spanish GP, Round 6 Monaco GP, and Round 8 French GP, and due to amount of time
invested in trying to resolve its problems, the stop-gap Type 79 itself was also not able to be properly
developed. Had the Type 79 received the normal amount of attention required to evolve its capabilities,
perhaps the outcome may have been different. Although the Type 79 did not win any races during the
1979 season, it will always be remembered for its great technological influence on the design of past
and present Formula 1 race cars, as well as its distinctive British Racing Green livery.

which showed great offensive capabilities being able to knock out Allied tanks from a great distances.
Along with its new design, the large sized fixed fighting compartment was given a 250mm thick front defensive armament which was unique to this tank.

Finland’s Assorted Weaponry
Finland’s military was established at the time of its independence and its diverse arsenal during WWII
included weapons from various European countries as well as captured Russian materiel. Their use
of captured AFVs was particularly noteworthy. Prior to the Winter War, Finland only possessed a few
Vickers 6-Ton tanks, but by the time of the Continuation War, captured AFVs, mainly outdated designs
plus a few frontline T-34 and KV-1 tanks, equipped an entire Finnish armored division. While Finland
did not manufacture its own AFVs, it modified captured BT-7 tanks and armed them with antiquated
114mm howitzers to create the BT-42 assault gun.
Introduction of the Sturmgeschütz III
The Finnish Army’s armored division was formed in 1942 and included an Assault Gun Battalion. Due
to the BT-42’s obsolescence, StuG IIIs were bought from Germany to re-equip the battalion in spring
1943. The first 30 were received between July and September 1943 and after Finnish camouflage and
unit markings were applied at the Armor Center at Varkaus, the first vehicles arrived at the unit’s base
at Petrozavodsk on September 2nd. They were initially viewed with skepticism, but it became apparent
that no other AFV in Finland’s arsenal could match the StuG III’s capabilities. An additional order was
placed in 1944 and 29 more were delivered between June and August.
Finnish StuG III Features
Finland’s StuG IIIs were Ausf.G variants. The first 30 were early- and mid-production vehicles with
boxy mantlets while the next 29 were late-production vehicles with Zimmerit and Saukopf mantlets.
Changes made by Finland in spring 1944 included removing the Schurzen, adding a wooden tool box,
DT machine guns replacing the MG34, Suomi submachine guns replacing the MP40, and mounting
the spare wheels on the vehicle sides. From July 1944, modifications including logs on the vehicle
sides, concrete on to the front of the superstructure, spare track links mounted on the front of the hull, a
visored driver’s vision port, bolt-on underside armor, and a deflection plate on the mantlet were added.

Finnish StuG IIIs In Battle
On June 9, 1944, Russian forces launched a massive attack against Finland and StuG IIIs were first
deployed to stop their advance at Kuuterselkä. On the night of June 14th, Lt. Mauri Sartio, leader
of 1st Platoon, 1st Co., and his StuG III (Ps.531-19 “Marjatta”) took part in a counterattack against
Russian forces. He was joined by Capt. Tom Kumlin, commander of 3rd Co., in Ps.531-20, but despite
destroying many enemy vehicles during this action, the overwhelming numbers of Russian units forced
them to retreat.
June 22nd saw the Russian forces hook around the east of Vyborg, an advance which would cut off
Finnish units in eastern Karelia and leave vital regions, including Helsinki, vulnerable. The StuG IIIs
were deployed to the crucial crossroads at Portinhoikka to stop this attack, with Lt. Sartio’s Ps.531-19
and the other StuG IIIs of 1st Co. meeting the oncoming Russian tanks at 10:00AM on the 25th and
conducting surprise attacks before withdrawing to positions north of the crossroads. That night, the 2nd
Co. with Cpl. Karukka’s Ps.531-12 and 3rd Co. with Capt. Kumlin’s Ps.531-20 were also assembled
at the crossroads. Russian tanks repeatedly attempted to break through, but the Finnish StuG IIIs
defended bravely. Although only in combat from June to July 1944, the Finnish StuG IIIs’ record was
exemplary, with 87 tanks and countless other vehicles destroyed while losing only 8 of their own.
About the Model
-This is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly model kit.
-Length: 189mm, Width: 85mm.

During the 1960's, the Israeli Ordnance Corps upgraded their aging Sherman Tanks by equipping it
with the powerful French 105mm CN-105-F1 tank gun. The gun barrel length was shortened by 1.5m
to improve overall greater balance and a muzzle brake was also fitted to minimize the recoil effect.
In 1967, during the Six-Day War, the Super Sherman found itself fighting against newer T-54/55 tanks
as well as JS-3 tanks from Egyptian, Iraqi, and Syrian armies. The M-51's 105mm gun could take on
these adversaries by using HEAT ammunition. After the war, these M-51 Super Shermans continued to
serve with distinction until they were finally retired in the early 1980s.
About the Model
-This is a 1/16 R/C assembly kit of the Super Sherman.
-The Sherman's turret and hull details have been accurately reproduced.
-Includes DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07) which enable turret

-Metal parts such as lower hull, suspension arms, and drive sprockets ensure durability.
-Aluminum gun barrel enhances the model's realistic appearance.
-The gun barrel features recoil effects.
-Front-mounted, pre-assembled gearboxes with type 380 motors provide ample power for impressive
performance.

Commissioned in 1938, the Tone was the lead ship of her namesake class of heavy cruisers. She was
189.1m in length, and was powered by 4 turbines which allowed her to reach a top speed of 35kn. She
had a range of 8,000 nautical miles at a 18kn cruising speed and was armed with 8 x 20cm/50 3rd year
type guns (4 twin turrets), 8 x 127mm guns, 12 x 25mm AA guns, and 12 x 610mm torpedo tubes and
also carried six floatplanes.
During WWII, the Tone was present at many of the major Pacific Theater engagements. At the

action at the Battle of Java Sea, Battle of Midway, Battle of the Eastern Solomons, Battle of Santa
Cruz, Battle of the Phillipine Sea, and the Battle of the Leyte Gulf. In July, 1945 the Tone, along with
most of the surviving large Japanese Navy warships, was based at the Kure Naval Arsenal. On July
24th, Task Force 38 launched a large scale air raid on Kure and Tone was hit by three bombs which
sank her.

Image show actual vessel
The Tone Class were the last heavy cruisers built by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during WWII. The lead ship
was named the Tone and featured a ground-breaking design with four twin 20.3cm gun turrets all concentrated on
the foredeck and six floatplanes loaded on the aft deck. This layout gave the Tone a highly distinctive silhouette
and both offensive and reconnaissance capabilities. She was able to reach a top speed of 35 knots and had a long
range. Completed in November 1938, she was soon deployed to serve as the eyes for aircraft carrier task forces.
She was present at many major Pacific Theater engagements such as the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the
Philippine Sea in addition to being involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor. At the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Tone was
involved in the sinking of the U.S. aircraft carrier escort Gambier Bay. She continued to fight for the IJN until she
was sunk at Kure port in July 1945.
Tamiya is proud to release the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser Tone for the first time as a 1/350
plastic assembly scale model kit.
The original form of the Tone, which featured four twin gun turrets positioned on the fore deck, has been
realistically reproduced. The full hull specification is the most suitable way to show off the beautiful form of the
Tone. However, if you wish to display your model as it were in the ocean, the waterline specification is well suited
for this. As the Tone was involved in many naval engagements throughout the Pacific Theater, you can incorporate
this model in various Pacific Theater dioramas.
