They also realised the Skoda fabia s2000 (test version, barum rally 2008 and montecarlo 2009).

Finally I founded their website, nowadays Google isn't able to find the information as fast as it was...

Well they are resin kits... I never worked on them. I always worked on metal cars.

Do you know if they will sell the decals separately, as like as Racing43?

Because as I said a few days ago, I'm sure that as soon as Ixo make it's Polo S2000, a lot of people in Spain would like to have this one, for me the most beautful one.

If the car didn't fail in last scratch of the last rally (Costa Brava), he would become Spanish Tarmac Champion on this car.

Building resin is a nightmare for me:

- Remove flash of the mouldings
- Bad fitting of pieces
- Bubbles in the surfaces that request to cover and sand
- Car windshield and windows in acetate plastic, hard to cut and hardest even to right fit

I keep more comfortable on hyper detailing diecasts, applyng paint and decals transkits, and so...

And remember, resin kits are expensive, too expensive in most cases, and if you dont enjoy building, and don't have an expert' level to achieve a nice result, it's better for me don't play these league...

PD I read you hate detail the cars rims, never tried to remark the rim detail with diluted Tamiya's smoke acrilic colour?
Many times the result is more realistic than painting the axle cover and the rim screws "comic style".

My last two purchases:

Peugeot 206 WRC Grönholm - Rautiainen - Suecia 2000 (the first WRC victory of the great Marcus)

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/934/maq1203.jpg

And the other one (one of my favourite finn drivers, mainly for being a Seat driver for a few years)

Toyota Corolla WRC Rovanperä - Pietiläinen - Portugal 2000

First purchase from a new manufacturer to me M4 Modelcars is this Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV of Pregliasco from the 79 Elba Rally. Nice detail and the shape seems pretty accurate just let down slightly by the black paint round the wheel arches but very promising!

From M4 I have two Alfa Romeo 156 GTA from the WTCC and they are quite nice, not as good as the Spark ones, but the ratio price/quality is really nice

Loving the Nissan Safari!

And Duval's Corolla - great work!

My last purchase, now I must to finish it adding the tobacco decals that also are avaible with the car (Spark rules!!)

Porsche 911 SCRS, Henri Toivonen - Juha Piironen, Rally Costa Brava 1984

Picked this morning at the post-office, last release from Altaya in the Spanish Monte-Carlo collection.

Subaru Impreza S12b WRC - Petter Solberg - Phil Mills - Rally Monte-Carlo 2008
http://i43.tinypic.com/1zq4n7p.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/574sn.jpg
http://i39.tinypic.com/dztoaq.jpg

Highly recommended, much better than the Vitesse one

http://i40.tinypic.com/2m6plpx.jpg

I got the Ixo version of Petter's Monte Subaru and likewise I have to reccomend it. The best model I've ever got for detail, weight, and realism.

Received my first model of the new Subaru Impreza WRC earlier this weeks - Petter Solberg's car from the Tour de Corse 2008 by IXO. It's a great looking car and such a pity that Subaru are no longer in the WRC.

damn sexy sub.... it is so sad no subaru... i don't blame them though... i wish they would'a went to IRC and supported group N...

Thanks to my friend Luis, who built me the decals, yesterday I finished what it's my favourite sague, my favourite rally driver in my favourite rally car.

Lancia 037 S. Servià - J. Sabater - Rally Vinho Madeira 1985

http://i42.tinypic.com/205s2ys.jpg

The complete sague

Yesterday I received this set from BP-Abu Dhabi- Ford, is number 1 from a 500 units limited edition

http://i42.tinypic.com/9106f5.jpg

A victory from my favourite rally driver in the present WRC, and the youngest ever winning a WRC-event.

Is it number 1, or is it 1 of 500? I remember an AutoArt Subaru where everyone thought they had number 1. :p :

It's number 1 for sure, I bought two, one for me, one for a friend of mine. The first that I opened, which I decided that it would be for me, has number 1, the other one has number 12. ;)

I have the Coulsoul's one and it's highly recommended, very detailed and what's more important, the tobacco stickers aren't erased.
