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.

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)

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 niceQuote:
