Maybe. Wanna try it? I can get you one quite cheap I'm sure their wheel attachment will be as bad as with other kits.

No thanks. It lacks one feature that I demand: engine

Yup I know. There are actually TWO things I demand

First, the kit MUST have engine detail.
Second, it MUST be in 1/24 scale - 1/25 just won't do

Too bad that this rules out most of the newer Tamiya kits and quite a lot of Revell/Monogram kits too...

There is a nice write up about the Ford Rally car in the April 2002 issue of Model Car Magazine. It also covers the available kits. The Revell kit and the Hasegawa kit are the same. But, the Hasegawa kit has different front and rear spoilers than the Revell kit. The Hasegawa kit also has photoetched parts, seat belt material, rubber material for mud flaps and different decals. Also there are window mask and dry tranfers for the tires. The Tamiya kits are for the 1999 and the 2001 car. The 2001 car has driver figures.
If you want an engine, use the bottom part from the kit and scratch build the top! Good Luck with that!!

What's putting me off at the moment is that no one has released the 2002 version yet and that's what I want Also a '01 Scooby and a Corolla with Studio27 decals - all of these to make Markko Martin versions

I have corrected my post. It was the Model Car magazine. I would have fixed the post earlier, but the computer at work won't let me post to this site. Can't figure it out.
