Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

Don't know if I'm first but I had a delivery today from Domino I'll only upload photos if people want them as the sprue layouts have been known for a while.

OOO, you forced me



Main sprues





Now a surprise



Unlike Hasegawa and Tamiya, Belkits have gone with a separate chassis and interior tub.



Nice detail on the brake discs



Next up, the extras.....

Re: Belkits Peugeot 207 S2000

The price of this kit has obviously raised a few eyebrows. Hopefully, this shows why.

The photo etch







I didn't know what this was at first. It's seatbelt material. Nice touch.

The decals





Note, very little carrier at the edges of the decals.

But what surprised me was the body



Attached to the outside of the bag is a piece of decal paper. Attached with sellotape



But I can't make out the decals. These are with macro



The body is well formed







And the final piece de resistance are the instructions. No poorly defined drawings here, these are proper CAD representations.






From my initial inspection, the kit looked well laid out. And the extras arewell presented. All in all, I can't wait for Belkits second and third kits.

It was a joke because you "ran out of kits" to build. Most of us have stacks and stacks and...(I don't have that many, but I don't buy a whole lot, either.)

Not intending to be nasty or anything. Sorry if it came across that way.

oooohhh i get it. sorry i am new to modeling after 6yrs of zero building.
i do have 3 kits to do( porsche gt2, morris mini cooper, monza rally focus)
but they will be done soon enough and its impossable to find anything but hotrods or f1 cars in the model shops here.
i have a few kits comig from hlj as well.

on a side note, i realized its euros not gbp so its about $70 to $95 usd to have the kit shipped from domino, is that over the top for a kit with all the pe parts and factoring in that its shipped from belgium?

To me it's fare, kits seem to be good quality and if you compare the price with say, one of the latest Tamiya Rally offering, witch you have to buy PE separated , it's about the same...

The peugeot 307, for example, as a MSRP of US 58$, add some detail parts to it to at least replace those ridiculous seat belts decals and your not far from 70$...

That's how I see it....

yeah thats how i was figuring it, i mean the xanavi r35 i bought was almost 60 usd and the pe parts would be another 15-20. also i figured since its 35 euros it would be about 50 - 60 here when/if it came to the us after taxes and everything so its about the same.
