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

Personally I like the IXO one!

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.

[pettersolberg29]

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'
http://www.trofeu.pt

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.

does anyone knows if the No-fear Gold Subaru Impreza of Colin in the Xgames is available??

Provence Miniatures has made the Red Bull Citroen C4 Rally Argentina and Rally Monte Carlo now. I know I'm going after that one
