Scale and level of detail

Its models are designed for both the enthusiast who wants to enjoy racing on track and the collector who values the representation of a specific era of competition.

Considerations

This is a model with a generic decoration inspired by the 1985 Benetton 185T, not an official replica licensed by the team or driver. This is common in Policar's so-called "generic" models, which allow evoking the aesthetics of an era without being subject to specific licenses. Ideal for those seeking the spirit of those years without the need for a numbered or limited edition collectible piece.
