Spark's Nissan 200SX though is very good as you can see.
My wife says that's a nightmare!! :)Quote:

Does anyone know if Ixo, Trofeu etc, have, or are planning to produce any models from Rally Ireland 2007.
just seen today that if you subsribe to Motorsport News you get a Free 1:18 scale Loeb 2007 MonteCarlo C4 ! now i wish i never subscribed 2 years ago :-(
This depends on what stock they haveQuote:

Just recieved a delivery of IXO Subaru Impreza 555 RAC 1995 Colin McRae! Maybe not the best model of Gr.A Impreza out there, but I think it is above average for IXO.
Not too keen on that McRae model it dosnt have "buy me look"
I think they could of made it better
The Trofeu Amerang McRae RAC special edition with lamp pod is a much better bet IMO.
I agree with you but considering Trofeu model costs more than twice as much as IXO one, I unfortunately had to consult my wallet before place my order and settled with IXO one :(Quote:

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask my question, but now I am building my first rally model (Toyota Corolla) but I have some problems with the labels (or whatever it is called). They are the ones which need water. But I am not sure how to do it. I tried but something is wrong. I just don't know how to do it. Can anyone helps me on this. I will be very grateful.
I normally use a small shallow bowl of water, and place the decal/sticker thing in it for 5 secs.
I then use a paintbrush to pick the decal up, with the decal tip on the brush tip, and place it where I want it.
Use another tool (finger?) to hold the decal on, and use the brush to flatten and smooth.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. I will try it tomorrow.
Trofeu seems to have a new website which will be available .... 'soon'

Provence Miniatures has made the Red Bull Citroen C4 Rally Argentina and Rally Monte Carlo now. I know I'm going after that one
I visited a store full of models recently and I was this close to buy Toni Gardemeister's Skoda Octavia. My wife said buy it if you want and I even took it to the counter but... I figured if I buy it, it won't be the last.
Shame, those are neat I have to admit.
Wives.
What are they good for, absolutely nothing ;)
You will found out once you get old enough ... :p :Quote:

But I tell you this. Should that model been Paasonen's Skoda Fabia, I would have thrown the reason away and buy it. God for bid that store was in Las Palmas and I'm here at Havukoski :)
Does anyone of our British members know if there is an shop with rally models and other stuff in London,possibly around Hyde Park?

Something a bit different Mark Duez's car from the challenge held in Belgium . Minichamps are also supposed to be doing another of his GT3s later this year and I'm hoping they will do Valeejo's Spanish tarmac version aswell..

Got hold of the last Vitesse 306 Maxi the Azcona Rias Bajas car I was after recently, now have just about every one they made bar a couple of promo items I missed on Ebay. It just looks more "right" than the Ixo version!
