Rally models thread

Bad decals are often a feature of Trofeu! If there's a more frustrating company in the diecast rally world I dont know who they are. There are models on their release list that are 4 or 5 years in the waiting. As for a website?!

I think the British Rally Legends is a great series though. The next release is Roger's Old Gold MK1 and am hoping they will do a Mark Lovell Radiopaging Cossie. At least they have used more than one moulding in this series unlike the Heros of Ashphalt which seems to consist entirely of Alpine Renaults.

OMG!!!! I just can have a home-made transkit using the Altaya version from Portugal modified with Racing43 decals

Patience is a virtue. I'm really fatalistic about models in that if I dont want to pay a stupid price I wait as one usually comes along in the end. Did this with my Minichamps RS200. Saw the rally version going for £100+ so waited and got the rally version and the white road car in one hit for quite a bit less. Just trying to get hold of a Vitesse Raya 306 Maxi now as the recent Ixo release just isnt quite as good!

Sal I know what you mean about trofeu models not being so good and a website ..oh dear!!!
I look forward to the next legends release, any idea when it is out? and I too hope they do a Mark Lovell Radiopaging 1 in the future..

Try http://www.trofeumodels.com , website of the czech importer I believe.

I have all four models of the BRL series released so far, all mint models to me.
Looking really forward to BRL05, this should be another great model.

But I think Trofeu will need at least a couple of completely new mouldings.
Can the BRL be complete without e.g. a 6R4 or a Chevette?

The Escort won a lot of titles so that will keep them busy for a while. After that they can start with their Quattro moulds, Sierra/Sapphire, Celica and by then they'll have covered 1971-1990 with just four cars missing.

Thanks. Now why can't Troféu themselves have a website like this? Simple and functional.

Does anyone know if TR1125 has been released previously? I know they've been re-releasing some of the older Impreza WRC models, but I don't remember this one.

1125 is a new model and hasn't been released yet.

The website http://www.trofeu-models.com is mentioned on the boxes for a couple of years now, but still doesn't seem to work
