flooded under the new releases. (now hasegawa)
Hasegawa has announced the VW Kubelwagen in their lineup, I don't think that car has ever made it to 1/24th yet? (release December)
http://www.maggiolino2000.it/images/KUBELWAGEN.jpg Prolly it ll look great next to their jeep! Another impressive release will be teh 2003 Ford Focus WRC, from the finland rally (release October) http://darba.cz/darba/2003/finland/p...s21_Martin.jpg I have this feeling we're being flood with superb releases and rereleases lately, my wallet will have a hard time following...

The Kubelwagen was done as a rather crude 1/24 kit by one of the Japanese manufacturers some number of years ago. I just saw a picture of one in the past week or so, it was pretty sad looking.
 The Hasegawa version should be quite nice...the Jeep is outstanding.

Great, ive been waiting for a 2003/4 Focus WRC. I was hoping Tamiya would make it, but i might settle for Hasegawa.

Re: flooded under the new releases. (now hasegawa)
Great news on the focus, glad I didnt find time to start the t/kit. It was pretty obvious this would be released at some point.

Re: flooded under the new releases. (now hasegawa)
Surely not! Good years are far away, now!
 There may be a set of additionnal PE, which would cost the price of the kit itself, just like it happened with the 037 and Stratos...And I must say I'd be happy enough with that... Still so far better than nothing!

agreed, and probably it 's only a matter of time before they release the other versions; tarmac and other special decals...
like hasegawa has done before, which is pretty good news too. Olivier

 You can be sure it won't be a tuner or blinged...other than that, who knows? An R32-inspired Kubelwagen just doesn't sound kosher. Maybe just a simple box-stock build as if it were in it's civvy's. Or maybe raise the ride height a bit and outfit it like the twin-engine 2CV rally car...hmmmm.... I'd kill for a model of a VW Thing...the bratty kid cousin of Kubelwagen. Plus, that would be a fun one to add a bit more '70's era bling to it...even if it's only chrome rims and daisy decals.

Fantastic to have the Focus rumour confirmed.
I really hope Hasegawa include the Duval decals, the BP livery is far prettier that the Castrol one. Maybe they'll do it as a variant kit? Regarding PE maybe Hasegawa will do as they did with the 037 and Stratos - by having it available separately. P.S. Hooray for Jay and his Kubelwagen!
