Wow,

it looks good, but i'm wondering if the quality is similar to Renaissance, having in mind the price...

It seems that this is the car form Rally Bulgaria, i'm form Bulgaria...I would like to have it!

Here are more details:

For those who didn't notice it yet, this is a PLASTIC kit, not a resin one!

Furthermore, the doors can be build in an open position, the front and rear bumper can be taken off, PE included for e.g. grills, real springs for the suspension, and decals are from Cartograph.

Renaissance have already announced the following decalsets for this kit:
TK24/293 - Structo Duval Deutschland 2008 / Latvala Corsica 2008
TK24/294 - Experth, Solberg, monte carlo 2008

They're also considering doing a decalset for the car Francois Duval will use in the coming Rally Deutschland.

Like said in an other thread, it's an all new brand with a kit 100% created by Simil'R guys.
It's a real new brand of plastic kit, no links with Heller or anything else in France.
Model shown on web site is a prototype built with parts from stereolithography (even windows...), and ALPS decals.
Of course result is very far from the production kit, with plastic parts and high quality decals.
Be patient and you will be surprised ;-)

Yes Vitanvk, it's Bulgarian rally.

All is correct, thanks Tvd :-)
After theses surprised unveiled, I can add :
- All new pattern for tires
- Cartograf decals with silk printing, offset printing and carbon on the same giant sheet (Near A4)

And after Renaissance I work also on a decal sheet for my new range of products:
- Rossi's Monza Rally show Focus 2009

Similr is a french brand?

Is good to see again 1/24 rallye kits at full speed!

Yeah that's great, he he...

Hi all,

Great news and looking good!!
But what need to be done when you want to convert it in to a 2008 Focus WRC?

this new model seems pretty exciting, but according to the pics, rear wing seems a bit flat and square...
Anyway, having a plastic kit will allow modifications better than resin of metal, so if it's the only thing not perfect...
Other models aren't either, especially Renaissance.
So I'm pleased to see this new model and brand, a french one moreover, and I wil buy some Focus soon !!
Hoping the brand will also think to the former evolutions of this focus version as 2006 or 2007 driven by Marcus...

I hope you mean the Monster livery and not the Beta

Slightly off topic but it seems a bit funny that a French model manufacturer decides to go for the Ford instead of the Citroen.

Yes, I suppose the demand is 100:1 for the Ford, though.

I love the Citroen anyway, sooooo....

Citroen will be released by another french manucaturer...., Renaissance

I had seen some models of Renaissance, or whatever, and well... Let it in "are not of my taste"...
