New from Renaissance

[stevenpae]

A new kit, very soon available (about 2 weeks) from Renaissance.

Kit 1/24 Ford Focus WRC 08 - Hirvonen/Latvala - Monte Carlo 2008

It's a full resin kit.

the green and blue will be available in small bottles for airbrush.

looks nice!!

Finally- only been waiting for this one for three years now !!

Wish they would do Gronholm/Hirvonen's car from 06 or early 07. I don't like the look of the scheme so much since the Abu Dhabi sponsorship.

Apparently they will also release the livery used by Duval in the 2008 Rally Deutschland pretty soon after release of the Abu Dhabi livery.

Didn't Duval run in the same Abu Dhabi scheme for Deutschland 08? I thought he took over Latvala's car, and Latvala used Duval's Stobart car.

No, false...!
You're wrong simply because Duval was driving a third Stobart car in Germany, Gigi Galli was second driver and crashed during the rally, what bring Duval into a Stobart livery car after Germany and into an Abu-Dhabi car by taking Latvala's place on tarmac rallies.

Some pics to show you the different liveries in Germany:

I vote for the green-blue Stobart. That is the coolest livery of this focus

Didn't even notice that... I've had that before on this forum, probably because of the script-blocker I'm running in my browser. I changed to a "Thumbs up" now

For the record; I can't wait for this one to hit the shelves!!

... glad to see that.

Are there more photos of the finished model available? (One the domino-website there is no photo at all )

Interesting. When I seen first Etienne's stages somewhere I was a bit doubtfully, but I must to say that the job looks really good once finished. I also like much more the '07 green scheme, hopefully Etienne would produce it.

BRAVO, great job.

It's been released!







Available at Domino.be for 115 euro.

The blue seems really too light, hoping it's only due to the picture...
