How does HPI rank as far as quality?

JB

Judging from one model I have (Impreza WRC2005), I must say HPI is much better than IXO and as good as Autoart. But WRC2005 is their first product, and I heard their second generations models (2006 models) are better than first generation. I'll see in couple days when I get my shipment.

Right Rally model fans i would like your opinion

If a model of the Group B Skoda 130 LR was to be made in diecast how many of you would be interested in adding them to your collection?

The reason I ask this is because I have been a fan of the car and I amtrying to get Abrex to make some

Quality on these cars is excellent. The only issue is that their 2005 Japan cars had tarmac spec wheels; i'm unsure what surface the Arai test-car ran but it might also have the same problem of not having gravel spec. But for the 2006 Monte car it looks great from the pictures i've seen.

For the rally car collectors in USA, HPI is having a limited time offer of FREE Petter's Impreza WRC2005 from Rally Japan with a purchase of any 1/43 model.

I just ordered Petter's Impreza WRC2006 from Monte and waiting for the shipment of two of my newest collections

I DIN'T SEE A WHITE SUBARU WRC S12!!!
THE ONLY WHITE WAS A S11 TEST CAR, MOSTLY WITH REG nr BC54 WRC.

the white s12 is not being touted as a works car though so there is no problem- might easily be run in that colour by a privateer in the future

HPI corrected that mistake in all 2006 models of Impreza, so Petter & Arai's car for Rally Japan and Arai's test car all have gravel wheels on the model. I am waiting for Arai's Rally Japan car to be available in the US....
