[Mekola]

In the winter of this year, summer of South Hemisphere, in Chile it was sold on newsstand stores, 1/43 diecasts of several Dakar cars, and even an ocassional truck.
Most of the 1/43 Dakar vehicles were from the last South American venues, then it was, for example, the Renault (Dacia) Duster used by Argentinian driver Emiliano Spataro among them.
In Argentina, that collection was not shown on newsstands, except from "adventurers", as I call them, that sent them to this country, to hobbie stores and even park fairs.
I saw many of these cars and were well presented, on metal diecast with some plastic parts, envolved on carton and plastic boxes.
