What model will be released next by SHARKIT ?

SHARKIT.com SCALED MODELS

In this blog are presented some scaled models SHARKIT may release in the future.
Our vocation is still the same : bring to people models of unconventional and research prototypes, or noticeable projects and sports machines.
For a collection that make sense, the scales are standards, so 1/24 for bikes, 1/43 for cars, 1/32/48/72/144 for planes or large vehicles.
Your suggestions are welcome at renaud@sharkit.com

Delft University Electrical Superbus


Superbus is an innovative and sustainable public transport system which combines the benefits of a high-speed rail link with the flexibility of a car. Thanks to its low air resistance and electric engine, Superbus emits less than half the amount of CO2 emitted by a standard car. Superbus can be charged by solar panels or windmills. The infrastructure needed for Superbus is much cheaper than other high-speed alternatives. Passengers call up Superbus via a text message or the internet. The routes can be flexible, as Superbus can travel not just on high-speed tracks (250 km/hour), but also on normal roads.
