Paul H Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Wonder if a Panhard might be on the cards? A Dyna Z or PL17 would be nice, as Air-Trax have recently released a resin 24CT. However, a Facel Vega (of any variety) would be truly fantastic!! Also wondering, if, like the R4, the DS will be a combined effort with Heller? That could mean that there will hopefully be more than one version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Another Citroen that would be neat to see in 1/24 is the funky corrugated H series van... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin boy Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 A DS 23 Pallas efi should be easy enough, just needs a new front end and some details changed. When the CX was introduced in 74, they kept selling the 23 Pallas for at least 12 months side by side, it was still much loved and was the best model of DS.

unclescott58 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm not a big Citroen fan, I would buy and build one of these. I'm surprised the DS has never been offered in kit form in 1/24th or 1/25th scale before this. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would have to believe this is another tool they're doing in concert with Heller. Also as has been pointed out in other threads here, it's not economically viable to do a single release new tool kit anymore, so there are multiple versions coming. I mean who would have thought you could get three versions of a Renault 4L to market AND sell out of 2 out of 3 runs of them? I expect the Heller kit will sell just as well being aimed squarely at the EU market. A lot of people might not know/remember because of how "obscure" Heller kits are, but there was a Convertible version of their 1/16 DS19.

charlie8575 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Looks like I'm in for one, too. I always thought these were neat cars. Any feel for how much this will be running?

Matt T. Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Will make a kool kruiser. Merci Ebbro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would think 40 or 45 $ list, then commonly down to 25 or so. I believe that's the way the other Ebbro kits have been going. I would be willing to pay 50$ or maybe more especially if it had some useful photoetch and a really nice engine. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter31a Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would guess that it would be around the $50+ region. As much as I would like the Ebbro Remault 4L it is going for $69 Canadian so I didn't pull the trigger. I'm guessing this one will be around the same or slightly higher.

JohnU Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 OK, I don't read Japanese. Does enyone know if that link mentions a release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Probably will be in the $35-40 USD range at HLJ like the Renaults, depending on the exchange rate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) OK, I don't read Japanese. Does enyone know if that link mentions a release date? It's in the first test shot, probably Summer at the earliest. I'd expect more information later in January during the Nuremberg Toy Fair, that's where the public unveiling of the 4L took place.

Junkman Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yep. Let's see what else they unveil in Nürnberg. They are always good for a surprise, as we saw. Those Renners must have sold a treat, if they decide to tool up something new that soon afterwards. Proves my point on many levels. Why nobody ever listens to me despite I'm always right, is a phenomenon that will never cease to amaze me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymcminn Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yessss! I can see at least two or three of these in my future, especially if we get Estate and Cabriolet variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
