Our first limited edition models, or Code 3 models were of the Sunseeker Powerboats sponsored Subaru WRC’s of Marcus Dodd, followed by the Jigsaw liveried Subary WRC’s of Mike Oats. We have recently concentrated on MK1 and MK2 Escorts from our friends at Trofeu in Portugal.  To date we have produced over 100 different 1/43 rally models using our top quality UK sourced decals, on base models supplied by IXO / Trofeu and Spark.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the years were have been fortunate to have our website carried  on the real rallycars we have made 1/43 scale models of, back in 2004 it was Tapio Laukannen’s Subaru WRC, more recently various Escorts (and even a Ferrari 308) that have been rallied by various drivers (Bjorn Waldegaard, Stig Blomqvist, Gregoire De Mevius, Didier Auriol and Francois Duval) run by Chris Jacob’s team in Belgium. And from 2009, the current 2012 British Historic Champion Julian Reynolds in his MK1 and MK2 Escorts.
