Re: Le Mans 2004 - The Complete Grid
I may have bad news for you - even if I hope not!...
I've read on a french modeling forum that PM (Provence Moulage), who usually makes all the Mans grid every year, is going to be closed (Legal rectification)!!!! It's not already the end, maybe they'll find a way to pass through these troubles and finally make the 2004 kits, but... nothing's sure For those who can read french, may I post here the link to the topic, maybe someone could translate the situation better than my poor english can do... http://forum.aceboard.net/p-21852-539-7560-8.htm (bottom of the page 9, with this post: ED: Posté le 29/07/2004 18:28:21 + page 10 for reactions . ED is the guy from Renaissance, and he's well placed to know the situation... he has made kits for Provence Moulage!) I felt I should share this info with you... It could be better to know now than later... and ask your retailer about that.

Re: Le Mans 2004 - The Complete Grid
Yup, just got an e-mail from a pretty reliable source to say that PM are no more. Checking with my suppliers now, but it looks like it's not going to happen.
Oh well, I should still be able to do the BBR kits of this years Ferrari's. Better work out what I'm going to build now, as I used to do a lot of PM kits... I will update you as soon as I get any official confirmation of the situation.

Re: Le Mans 2004 - The Complete Grid
That is sad news, if PM are really going out of business.
Not being a 1/43rd guy I've never built any of their kits, but seeing what you guys achieve with their suff was always awesome to view. |

Re: Le Mans 2004 - The Complete Grid
Well, PM are officially no more, there are rumours of a buy out or the ex-staff starting up some where else but nothing concrete yet. However all is not totally lost. I won't be able to do a full grid as I wished but I will be doing all of the Ferraris that started the race. The first kit is on it's way, the 65 Care Racing/Prodrive Ferrari from BBR. I have some other models to finish first... but I'll reasurect this thread when I make a start. It's not what I had hoped for, but it's better than nothing.

I heard that Starter is taking over, but that's just a rumor.

Re: Le Mans 2004 - The Complete Grid
Erm, if there is no progress, why is this thread in the progress section?

Here's the first one of the grid, a BBR Care-racing Ferrari 550. This is the Colin McRae car for the rally fans out there! Box contents (typical BBR fare really) Main resin components cleaned up, primed and polished Body sprayed Tamiya Pure White Body color (TS39 Flourescent Red + TS49 Bright Red out of my airbrush) awaiting a good polish That's all for this update. I better get my skates on, two of the 360s are on their way, and the Audi's should be along from PMA soon as well.

Well, the 360's arrive tommorow... the 550 is moving along nicelly.
Started airbrushing on the carbon areas of the body work. Finished the black areas, polished up the red/orange and started with decals. Not many left to do, then it'll be ready for the clear coats. Ah well, back to it... need to get this one knocked out this weekend. Still with the dodgy weather we're having in the UK at the moment there's not much else to do!

Body is now clear coated. Need to flatten the carbon areas and add flat black to the interior and exterior details Basic interior. Roll-cage assembled, need cleaning and painting before it's fitted. Next up wheels/tyres, dash and finish the cage I think.
