nothing interesting beside the Peug, but it's still easy to find at Hobby shop so....

Good news about the Renault 5 and 205 rally cars, but i'm getting fed up with these re-releases now, its about time they made some new cars.

its about time they made some new cars.

We got the Carrera GT this year.. don't ask them too much :uhoh: :lol:

Well apart from the Carrera GT all we've had this year are the 2 JGTC Skylines and a Peugeot 206 2003 version. You'd think they would have made a few more by now.

I'll be happy to add the Renault to my collection :)

Mmmm, Renault R5 and Peugeot 205.

Two more for the list.

I agree, sick of re-issues, got pretty much all the interesting ones already. I truely believe the world will end soon if somebody doesn't make a Peugeot 307 WRC ;) Forget Tamiya, I'd even be estatic if Heller made one!

Do you think anybody will pay attention if I go on strike and refuse to buy any more kits until a 1/24th 307 appears? :lol:

SIGH, Tamiya is going to slow right now, other than the CarreraGT, we will have 1/12 2004 Yamaha Rossi's MotoGP from Tamiya. Sigh, I want a F2004, and some more Ferrari. Diecast is sh!t. :mad:

I think Tamiya should make 2003 BMW M3 kit, i want more EURO'S with engine detail

that's so weird, I was just at my friend's house playing colin mcrae '04, and we totally beat those peugot 205's to hell!

Awesome, I love that rs1000!

I will more than happy to see Tamiiya releases any Ferrari model (F2004, 602, 360 Challenge stradale), Mercedes SL55AMG, McLaren SLR, BMW E46M3. :smile:

Why have they ignored the E49 M5??? I don't do a lot of modeling, there's only a few cars that I care to take the time to build... but one of the maybe 3 cars I desire... has never been made by any model company. And it's just a crime.

ill buy that 205 but what about the nissan r89c, jag xjr lm lemans car and sauber c9 car re releases.

what about the Audi S4 or A4 Tamiya should make kits of this cars or the New VW R32

i use 2 have a Peugeot 205 R/C car looked just like that 1 mud and all :)

what about the Audi S4 or A4 Tamiya should make kits of this cars or the New VW R32

I couldnt agree more !

Later, Mike :sunglasse

They are out... check hlj.

Maybe a Citroën WRC Xsara should be nice, or a Audi TT DTM, or a Ferrari 575 GT....I could go on like that for hours !!!!

But I think Vric and his sarcastic reply was the right one (second reply of the tread) !!! Then the JGTC GTR (1 kit in two different version) because the Pug 206 is just a kind of re-issue of the last 5 years but with different wheels, some modification of the front end and no drivers !!

what about the Audi S4 or A4 Tamiya should make kits of this cars or the New VW R32
Yeah! Audi S4, Audi RS6 VW Golf R32(or re-release Golf V5 and modify it to R32), VW Phaeton and VW Passat would be nice oh and of course VW Golf 5 :iceslolan

I think it has something to do with licenses why tamiya hasn't built any 1/24 Audis since the Audi Quattro and Quattro rally car in the eighties. They made the Audi R8 and Audi TT DTM in 1/10 RC.

I think it has something to do with licenses why tamiya hasn't built any 1/24 Audis since the Audi Quattro and Quattro rally car in the eighties. They made the Audi R8 and Audi TT DTM in 1/10 RC.

So if they did the TT in RC form... they already have the licenses didn't they ??

And VWman, I've got my hand on a V5 golf MK IV and planning to turn it into a Dahlback Racing RSI... so why bother until they made a R32... Go ahead and do it !

Ps... I said planning to... the box isn't open yet ! And no, I won't sell it !! I've got it for 20$, the hobbyshop had this babe on the shelves for almost a year and he didn't had any offer on it !
Dahlback Racing RSI: 2 motors... 900hp/900kg... hummm the beast.

So if they did the TT in RC form... they already have the licenses didn't they ??
Well if they've made it in RC then obviously there is a reason why the have not made it in 1/24, possibly because they are only using it for the shell of an RC car but in 1/24 all components have to be replicated.

Maybe you just found the reason why Tamiya didn't put as many model as they should !!! Book a guy at Audi Sport division to do a shell for a RC.... then 2 years later... try to book the same guy (so you don't have to explain again) to have another license to do a static model with the same DTM car ! Sincerely, I hope they don't work that way, what a waste of time ! BUT... you could be right, because I don't even know how this licenses thing is working (not sure if anybody does). If it's that way, they should revise their method.

If I were in charge... book the guy at Audi to do a complete shoot out of the car and ask licenses for all the products I'm intented to do... RC/Model kit/etc (could be miniRC or anything)... Do the RC shell because it's faster and serve as a teaser then release the 1/24 model almost immediately (I think that's what they do with the Carrera GT) and by the way, maybe I would insert a couple of photo of the real car in the back of the model's building sheet... you know, engine bay, interior, details... so the public can see what a fantastic job your ingeneers did... not to mention the reference material for the most advance modelers (I know a company who already does that with airplanes of the WW2).

So... Am I in charged already ???

:screwy: You SHOULD be in charge: it only makes sense to do it that way. Please send me some pictures of your Dahlback racing VW Golf/Audi. I love that car! I've thought about building the same thing, but honestly i just don't have the ambition to embark on such a difficult project..... I absolutely think we need MORE EURO CARS! Why no one has made any of the new Bimmers that count (M3, M5, Z4, or 6-Series) is beyond me. I think there should be some Audi models out there too, such as the A4/S4 (any year), TT (not that I like it much), RS6, S8. And how about a Jetta model or a re-issue of the Corrado? I would love to see any of these cars kitted. Not going to hold my breath. Lambo is owned by Audi, so perhaps Fujimi's new Lambo model gives us euro-heads some hope...... I plan on doing a resin Jetta IV body for the Tamiya Golf IV kit sometime in the future if no one beats me to it. And I am going to tear apart my two (1 newer and 1 older body style) Welly 1/24 Audi A4's to make a couple of tuner custom A4 models. Maybe I'll do a transkit of some sort.
