Omicron land speed models are made by a long established italian model maker, known in the past for an extensive range of road race cars produced under a different brand. Omicron are distributed exclusively by Ugo Fadini models.
Moulded in polyurethane resin and sold in ready-built form, they are up to the standards you would expect for 1/43 hand crafted model cars from Italy. They are offered mounted on a plexiglass or forex base.
All models are thoroughly researched (with help from Ugo Fadini) and masters are purpose hand-sculpted by Omicron: they are never based on pre-existing models or moulds.
The line offers a wide variety of land speed cars of different types and eras, including WLSR challengers, long distance and class record breakers and Bonneville Speed Week racers. Like Ugo Fadini and TOM, Omicron always chooses cars that have never been modelled before.
