Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

Man, that Fabia is an *ugly* car! (Never liked the 'Mini' look at all.)

Why no WRC Citroen (outside of Heller)? I'd personally LOVE to see that one...

I believe the C4 is the next by Similr.

The C4 from Heller only in Setember and I believe will be a basic kit.

Simil'r will not make C4-this is 100% sure

They say the draws of the second kit are already done. My hope was the C4.

Aw, poop! Seeing the early pics of the Simil'r Focus, I'd LOVE for them to do a C4. Wonder what's next from them? I love their idea of molding the body without the door. GREAT idea.

So, since you say the C4 definitely isn't it...do you know or have an idea of their next kit?

Unfortunatelly i don't know anything about their next kit.. Ithink this would be another modern car, although i wish more it was a Group B monster..
I'm sure about C4, because they (Simil'r) said it in another forum.

Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

I`ve you guys are waiting for a good C4, here`s a tip. Try the motorama die cast version. It`s only 20eu and it`s far better looking then the renaissance version. I`ve build the Novikov version a little while ago. Using parts from the part box to scratch the interior and i used a set of wheels from Hobby design. Result :

Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

Back on topic, the last time i spoke with the guys from Belkits, somewhere in december, they where thinking about the Fabia S2000 evo2 as second kit. As a big fan of Freddy Loix i`m really hoping for this one.

Pretty good result i think.
I personally will wait for the Heller version, regardless of the fact it could be very basic.

Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

If I remember well what I read elsewhere here on AF (probably in the thread anouncing Simil'R birth) the second release of Simil'R will be the Citroen DS3 WRC.
Not the worst choice for WRC fans.
A mini would be nice to complete the new WRC cars...!

But that's right WRC aren't the only rally cars builders are missing !!
Personaly I'm always dreaming of a full detailed and accurate complete 205 T16 Evo2 kit, but that may stay a dream...

Anyway I think that new brands must make recent models and follow current competitions to launch their activity and touch the most customers possible, most of the fans (youngest expecially) want a Loeb car (and a Loeb bike, and a Loeb cow and anything wearing Loeb's name ) and even don't know who Vatanen or Röhrl are...

But once business on the rails, I would be pleased to find a new range of kits, an oldies or mythic serie !!
some Group B still deserve a brand to make them at 1/24 scale (still no 5 Turbo Corsica version, still no Skoda Gr. B, no Talbot Samba...)

Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

I´m not seeing this new brands making old rallye cars.

If I would like to see a 205 T16, a RS200 or a S4? Of course I do!
But how to convince Peugeot for example when this brand is currently racing in Rallyes with a 207 s2000!

Too bad......,a kit of the Opel Manta & Ascona 400 would've been neat, same for a late '70s Kadett coupe GT/E rally....
Anyway hopefully I can look inside a Belkit, at the IPMS show in Hoboken Belgium next month.

I`m building the Ascona 400 by Gass now. Tread is in dutch but there are a lot of pictures to watch.
I`ll start a tread on this forum when i start the next build.
