In its latest release under the ‘Legendary Series’, Kyosho has announced the Plazma 2WD MK.3 Limited A2 1:12 Kit which is the 16th instalment in the iconic Japanese manufacturer’s Vintage Series. 1:12 scale was the center of on-road electric R/C car racing in the 1980’s and was dominated by the Kyosho Fantom EP-4WD series. However, the Fantom enjoyed a strong rivalry with the rear drive 2WD Plazma series, also made by Kyosho. The Plazma’s final and ultimate model was the MKIII Limited which was released in 1987.
