Authentic Collectables ACD18F24G 1/18 Penrite Racing #26 Ford Mustang GT 2024 Repco Supercars Championship Season Richie Stanaway

It’s hard not to like a comeback story and there’s probably none better in recent Supercars history than the comeback of New Zealander Richie Stanaway.

An undeniably talented race car driver, Stanaway was lured back from the racing wilderness to race at Bathurst in a Boost Mobile backed wildcard entry, where a stunning display of driving in the wet made the entire Supercars pitlane stand up and take notice.

That drive paved the way for the fast Kiwi to land a plum co-drive with Shane van Gisbergen and a Bathurst 1000 win in 2023 and then a full time seat back in the main game with Grove Racing for 2024.

Racing the #26 Penrite Ford Mustang GT in the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship, Stanaway is one of the most fascinating stars of the sport and could very well be the dark horse contender for big things.

Featuring an intimidating black, red and gold Penrite livery, which includes subtle pattern line work in the background, Stanaway’s 2024 Mustang is set to be replicated based on the season-opening Thrifty Bathurst 500 round.

This 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.

A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.

Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.

It is scheduled to be produced in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.

Once this model is sold out, it won't be available again.
