Italeri Mercedes Gelaende Dakar

Finally, italeri has released an interesting version of the esci G, a 1982 Paris dakar. Sure beats the stupid firetruck RoG made out of it.

And it's piloted by Ickx, so you'll probably already have one on your way, Sennake. :biggrin:

I know i'm picking one up, just hope italeri's done a good job in provding details....

Yea, i'm gonna get one too if it's any good. Stratos Safari wasn't so great. Not so big surprise though, Esci is always Esci...

Huh, I hope someone could prove me wrong, but after some research (mainly on http://www.jacky-ickx-fan.net/french/photos.php?id=5 ) I found that this is not the livery for Jacky on either rally-raids.

Maybe it's a car that he drove on another rally or driven by somebody else?

Eitherway, I 'm puzzled wtf this livery is all about?

Olivier (who is happy with his firetrucky :) )

Italeri page says "One such model, specially adapted for the occasion, won the 1982 edition of the famous Paris-Dakar race, with J. Ickx and C. Brasseur trouncing a group of seasoned competitors after a long, hard-fought race.", but i don't think that means just this Italeris model.

Anyone has original Esci model, number 3025? :)
