von Race Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Have been waiting and hoping a long time for this one!! Really excited, although I'm sure it's at least a year away. It's OK though, I'll happily wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 O.M.G. Brings back memories of Sam Nelson testing on the A4 Bath road and Tony Pond in Castle Combe Special GTs. They will sell like hotcakes and I'll definitely have one or seven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) That's good, one car I used to see and enjoy in my rally marshalling days. A father of a mate of my two sons, who made custom exhausts for all manner of race teams around here (near Silverstone Circuit) used to run one on the road with a V8 Rover in the back, to and from the workshops each day! I must tell my wife that's my next Christmas present! Edited July 27, 2018 by PatW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Beemax have an Audi Sport Quattro on the way, to be follwed by a Lancia Delta S4 and a Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car. ( all info from their Facebook page). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 If someone would like to announce a Gp B Skoda 130LR I'd be happy. A "Tractor" will do in the meantime... IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Did someone say quattro? I don't know why, but I kind of like the metro, as it reminds me of a mate that had one that was a bag of And the seats rocked every time he hit the accelerator or brakes, and was wearing a curved groove in the windscreen where the wiper blade should have been. Scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of them being built, some finished on a few Facebook sites. And the Delta S4 is also out in Hong Kong, someone posted pics of the one he'd received in the UK earlier this week. Next year is looking expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ Is that different from a 130RS Ian? If not and you don't mind resin, Reji do/did one. Keith PS, I'd be happy with a plastic 130 too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Thanks @keefr22 - The 130RS was the previous generation 2 door coupe used in Gp4 until replaced by the GpB 130LR so two very different cars. IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Sod's Law. Having just finished grafting bits that were any good cut away from the old MRM resin kit and anything else that was useable from it onto a Burago Metro die cast body to make a half decent model of this iconic rally car Belkits announce a new injection moulded kit! Both the Burago Die Cast and the MRM kit were purportedly supposed to be 1/24 scale. Both looked as though they scaled out at more like 1/20th scale. The Belkits injection moulded one will be 1/24th scale like the renaissance resin kits, so a bit smaller than the one I have built. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 MRM. Remember when they used to have a stand at the IPMS Nationals each year? Don't know what happened to them as they just suddenly stopped trading at he show and seemed to just disappear at about the same time. They had some interesting stuff that hey used to sell like Cossack sponsor decals and transit parts for the Esci Mark 2 Escort. I had their MG Metro 6R4 in my stash for ages. Unfortunately the body shape just did not look right hence the hacking job with the Burago Metro body and what bits I cobbled from the MRM resin kit. Bel kits are doing all 6R4 enthusiasts a favour with their kit and it should sell well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I e-mailed Mike at the time as to why he was stopping, he did reply but I can't for the life of me remember what he said.... 55 minutes ago, Noel Smith said: They had some interesting stuff that hey used to sell like Cossack sponsor decals and transit parts for the Esci Mark 2 Escort. I actually started to use these on an Esci Escort the year they were released. It's still in progress....!! However there's much better resin bits available now, lovely wheels and tyres from Motobitz (the MRM ones are nearly round!) and a nice RHD dash from Reji. Decalcas do the decals too. No-one to my knowledge does the correct grille for Roger's '76 RAC winner though. Back to the 6R4 - I'm desperately trying to persuade myself I don't want one. Have doubts I'll succeed...! 🤣 Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Any due dates on the 6R4 release yet as we seem to have been promised it for a while now, and the RS200 😐 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm trying to get through the year without buying any kits. On that basis, I'm crossing my fingers for 2021 😄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
