Anyone have a list of current generation gravel spec rally cars?

Looking for kits from Tamiya, Hasegawa...etc. Not expensive resin kits.

I already have/know about the following:
Tamiya Subaru Impreza 2004 (Rally Japan)
Tamiya Pug 206 2002 'winner'
Hasegawa Focus 2003
Tamiya Impreza 97(?) Safari Rally
Tamiya Impreza 01 Great Britain
Tamiya Mitsu Evo VI

That's all I can find, are there any more? My only requirements are good detail and a chassis that is seperately molded (ie - you have to add exhuast, drivetrain...etc, not all molded in).

There seems to be plenty of tarmac spec cars, I just really prefer the gravel.

Thanks!

Hello,

The safari Sub is 98 one.

You can also add to your list the following works team cars :
Hasegawa:
- Focus 99 Safari
- Focus 99 RAC
- Corolla Safari 98
- Corolla 98 RAC
- Corolla 98 Finland
- Corolla 98 New-Zealand (or Australia, or even both, can't remember...)
- Mitsubishi Lancer 94 Safari
- Mitsubishi Carisma (Lancer Evo4) 98 Safari
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evo4 97 Finland
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evo3 96 Safari
and a few others I can't surely enough remember to mention them.
You also have a few private cars, mainly some Corolla and mitsubishi

If you care about older cars, you can add some Fujimi or other Hasegawa models:
Porsche Carrera (73 safari - Fujimi), lancia Stratos (77 Safari - Hasegawa), lancia Super delta REPSOL (93 Acropolis - Hasegawa), Delta HF 16v (89 SanRemo - Hasegawa) and some other private ones (an Esso livery on the Super delta for example)

Another couple for you.

Hasegawa do the 2005 Impreza in 3 gravel forms, Rally Mexico, Rally GB and Rally Japan. And Airfix do a low detail 2003 Xsara.

Would the Heller Peugeot 206 WRC Safari version be considered a gravel spec car?Yeah,it's a Heller and the suspension isn't really raised over a tarmac car but it's supposed to represent a car that ran the Safari Rally circa 2002.
The chassis in the Heller kits is very crude,without much detail except a separate exhaust system.
