Oi - Mr Lobster - can you get a Zafira - B in silver from anywhere? I had an opel badged one in blue but one of my little shits, sorry, little darlings has broken it.

Probably, yes. They are all Opel badged and I think an awful lot of them are VXRs. I'll have a look whats available and let you know.

I had the Airfix Cortina,it was built as a short circuit hot rod but is long gone now.I did find this Dinky Transit though which has some of the transfers from the Cortina.

anyone had problems with corgi, i ordered 2 mini's one was fine the other looked like the paint was extremely cracked and once out the box fell apart like eggshell

 

[brammy777]

Complain about that VWP!As a kid i do remember some of my corgi cars getting extreme metal fatigue and cracking apart.

i dont normally restore/recommission but garage was gonna weight it in so gave it a new lease of life

Arr - cheers for that - the blue one I have is a VXR Opel badged one as at the time it was the only B series Zafira I could find. Now with cracked bumper, missing aerial, wing mirror and fog lights, I have my suspicions it was number 2 child.....Just got 3 Royal Mail / Datapost liveried 1:63(ish) scale Metros by Corgi, quite iffy quality and the dies look very much like scaled down 1:43rd scale ones as the boot lid looks like it should open, but doesnt. Trying to get a while Longbridge MG Turbo variant in 1:63(ish) as all my dogs, sorry Metros, have been white.....

Just seen today, IXO have announced some new releases, one of the ranges is 1ST which comprises East European treasures. Today, I have discovered they are releasing a model of.....the....Dacia 1310 / Denem.

Trying to expand into other manufacturers.

[55bloke]

Not surprisingly, I have that too. The Norev one is better, though it's a phase 2.

Bare in mind they are all pre production, so they will look distorted and lumpy, its just to show people whats coming.

MEGA!! Although still no sign of the lot from the catalogue before those!

 

I'll have a Cossie & a Cortina for sure!

 

Legacy seems an odd choice to me..

 

Back end of the Golf looks very strange!

[brammy777]

Yeh the golfs rear looks a tad odd, but hopefully theyll sort that.The legacy is to do with Colin Mcrae, he drove one when he first joined the Subaru world rally team.Hey 55bloke, was your model 25 an Altaya? Because mines full blown IXO i think......
