Dificult to explain Altaya choices... But no one press collectors editor finishes 100% his collection planning...Quote:

About your MG, Patxi Arbelaiz's one was also one of my favourites on the pre-release list, and cant understand why (having the mould) they had refused to launch the model... And they had launched really unpopular models.

Absolutely agree with ManuelZGZ, the most unpopular changes were the MG, the Audi, the Clio and the Fiesta XR2. But the worst is that for the two first models there's not a reasonable explanation, because Ixo, and also Altaya, has the die-cast baseQuote:

I agree it is a big shame that they decided not to produce the above car of Patxi Arbelaiz. I agree it's not one of the nicest of liveries, but at least it is another Metro 6R4 model for collectors to buy - and I think we all know that it would have sold well compared to some of the other models that they will be doing instead.
On a separate matter, does anyone know what has happened to CBCom - the French company who made 1/43rd scale resin model kits? They produced a couple of the MG ZR Super 1600 cars which I would like to add to my cabinet. The good thing about them is that the bodyshells came pre-painted I think?
CBcom now belongs to rallye-miniatureQuote:

I've one of this pre-painted kits to build, if I'm not wrong is a Sanremo version driven by Evans, but by now I'm a little bit affaraid to build kits. I prefer to improve my technics on die-cast cars and then jump to kits.
If you want I can take for you some pictures
Here there's one that I took a few days ago

No doubt about the appeal of the livery... The livery... is 75% missing!!!! The pic is taken on a gravel rally, and Patxi has sanded the car against all odds in the way !Quote:

My first combo is to provide to the original model (#15 - Harry Rovanpera at RAC Rally 1996) a mate: #17 Erwin Weber.
The followings will be the Pura's one in the Monte, the three muskeeters in the Catalunya 1996 (Rovanpera, Puras and Bardolet), etc...
Isn't true, Feresc?
