    This is the Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 #54 1980 Zolder H. Soldeck in 1:18 scale by MCG.The Ford Capri Turbo Group 5 #54 that contested the 1980 DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft) race at Zolder was a highly modified silhouette racer prepared by Zakspeed and piloted in that round by German driver Hans Soldeck. In the fiercely competitive Group 5 Division II field — filled with turbo-charged monsters — Soldeck qualified in the mid-pack and brought the Capri home 6th in class, showcasing the car’s resilience over the sprint distance at the Belgian circuit.  The Group 5 “Silhouette” rules allowed extreme aerodynamic and engine development while retaining the basic body shape of the production Capri, making this car one of the wildest touring-car-based racers of the era with a turbocharged Cosworth BDA engine and dramatic wide bodywork. What set the Zolder round apart in 1980 was that it kicked off the season with mixed results for Zakspeed’s Capris — with different chassis scoring varied finishes throughout the year — and highlighted how even lesser-funded entries like Soldeck’s #54 could still compete respectably against the heavy hitters in German sports-car racing.This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most authentic replication.
