From what i see in the picture, i realize the Bulls have to be "composed" either. There are some white curves which they consist of, i guess..Seems a bit tricky...

Visiting Heller web site (catalogue) and the information in this thread gets me very confused with this future release. At the home page of heller.fr, there are links to "nouveautes". The first one is the box showing Citroen DS3 WRC '11 (figure in the box shows a car of Rallye de France 2011), but when I click that link, I get a web site with a title "Citroen C4 WRC '10 (ref nr 50756), but still the figure shows the box of 50757. At the home page, there is also another figure of that same car of rallye de france 2011, but now it claims it to be Citroen DS3 WRC '12! Now this link goes to the web site with a title of that car (ref nr 50757). Very confusing, is it going to be a model for Rallye de France 2011 or Monte Carlo 2012? I have seen photos of boxes with '11 and '12.

And now this "squirrel"-decal? What does it mean? Is there anyone who could make all this clear? I have made a request also for Heller by the contact form at their web site, but no answer so far from them.

The squirrel is simply a tricky way to avoid Rb deadly fees (more expensive for toys manifacturers than ferrari's ones).Basically they sell it as squirrel sponsor car..adn THEN..hidden by commercials...the modeller can finish it "secretly" as a correct redbull car.

probably on RB lawer tables arrives just a list of names, company and pics with RB unpaied logos, so if they see redsquirrel they probably skip it away, even after checking whats inside (if also we modellers took some time before understand what can become a squirrel with decal balls..),both on decalsheet and instruction sheet.

In sweden they use also to cook squirrels..

ABC Modelisme is selling the Citroen DS3 on ebay france. I'm very curious because there are 2 boxes announced: Heller 50757 and Heller 80757. Both are WRC 12 and seems to be Monte Carlo version.

http://cgi.ebay.fr/HELLER-80757-CITR...-/310457352225


And the prices and different too (28 and 33 euros). Anyone knows the difference between the two models?
