Re: ModellingMaster.com - transkits, photo-etched and decals

oh yes I forgot 81 TdC, where they didn't finish in first five because the car doesn't appear in my final first 5 ranking.

The mercedes is for me totally uninteresting.
You should go on with rallycars and keep the inoccupied spot of those special rally cars. They are good sellers for sure.

that's why I'm thinking the TR7 wouldn't be a good choice, it may mostly interest GB builders, it has been done in plastic, and it didn't regularly entered the world championship.
Same for the starion, even if being a Gr. B.
The ascona and Manta have also been done, plus or minus well done but done.

A peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 will for sure get a lot of success, it may interest people just because it was the french winning car but also interest builders from country one of their driver drove the car.

The Celica is also a very popular car all around the world and very representative of african rallies wins.

A Lancia 037 Thousand lakes model...? yes, but why not a SanRemo or Portugal model too ?
A gravel conversion will be interesting if you provide several possibilities on the decal sheet.

My personal top three are:
1- Celica Gr. B (85 and/or 86)
2- Nissan 240 RS (84 year may be better, it's the one with left hand drive car most privateer had so offering more possibilities...)
3- 205 T16 Evo2

but you're the only one to decide...
