Yes, and it looks sharper than the older kits. I'm very pleased that they have changed decal supplier, now renaissance (printed by Interdecal?), old Heller decals used to be very awful.

But on the other hand, chassis and interior are too simplified, for example fire extinguishers and some wires have been molded to floor, too bad. I would have liked to see tires, if they have been improved, like rims.

Anyway, Looks good , compared their older product (though these teaser photos are too small to show detailing more precisely).

Hi,

are there inner door panels in the kit? I can´t see them on the photos and in the Xsara-kits they were missing, too

The kit is already on sale.

Some french stores has it from 30 to 40 euros.

I think is a leattle expensive...

It's not so expensive, those stores aren't serious if this is their real price.
Got mine yesterday for 28,90 euros.

No indoor panels as stated by Micha, one part wheels but way too narrow (as tires then), no opened grilles, only decals above plastic...
Just have to wait for TK releases to improve all of that, but the base isn't too bad either.

I must say, it is a shame, that they did not learn and listen to what modelers say or write about their kits

I totally agree, one-part wheels seems to be the only improvement and lesson they learnt from past releases feedbacks...

I already spent 2/3 hours on the kit, examinating it under each angle possible, helping myself with my pics from the France and Germany rallies, there are a lot of things to correct... or make !! as the door inside panels...
the base is interesting, but once more with heller, result isn't at the level of the expectations...
Nevertheless i'm sure that once more too the talent of some builders will put this model to a high standard and result for a cheapest price than a multimedia kit.
I started opening vents on mine, but there is a lot to correct on the body (wheel arch shape, front bumper lip thickness and shape, etc.) before really starting working on it.
I'm also preparing a gallery of reference pics as long as I see all things having to be corrected.
Will share that in a few days, once it's ready.

Renaissance PE

[rallymaster]

Great, just hopping it won't be too expensive, cos there aren't many things and other brands (HD ?) will surely release their own stuff...

[modeling guy]

Just hopping the model kit and the PE will not be too expensive....
The PE is not form Hobby Design,Maybe from HELLER
