HPI expands into the precision diecast model market!

Since establishment in California, USA, in 1986, HPI (Hobby Products International) has grown to become one of the top radio controlled hobby manufacturers in the world. Aiming to expand beyond the RC market, HPI is proud to announce a new line of products for the popular precision diecast model car market. In January, 2006, HPI will release four unique 1/43 scale diecast models under the HPI brand, which include two types of SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 2005 rally racing cars, a replica of the hpi racing IMPREZA that competed in the 2004 Super Taikyu Endurance Series, and the FUJITSUBO hpi IMPREZA that won the championship in the 2005 Super Taikyu Endurance Series.

These precision diecast metal models are 1/43 scale, a convenient size for any desk or display case. Incredible attention has been paid to make the shape of cars as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior details like radiators, disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust, headlight buckets, mirrors, tow hooks, radio antennae and sponsor logos combine to make the models extremely realistic. Each car has a fully painted and detailed interior, complete with a roll cage, racing seat, fire extinguisher, steering wheel, dashboard and even defroster lines in the rear window. These models come mounted to a display platform that includes a clear plastic protective case, and the car can be easily removed from the platform for individual display.
