PatW Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wow, I'm getting one or two of these. Ray Mallock's race workshops are about 20 miles from me in Northamptonshire were they have built, tested and perfected the Cruze for racing and Robb Huff, an aquantance is an ex-WTCC World Champion in these cars. (the closest car in the picture above) A superb race car for the World stage and a superb looking kit with plenty of racing detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 More pics, looks like its getting to close to release time, still no release date has been announced yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) If it can be built as a U.S.-spec consumer car, (or can be with little headache,) I'm in. Charlie Larkin I'm with Charlie on this one. I'd love to more kits of modern, ordinary cars, like the Chevy Cruze offered in model form. And like Charlie, the more I look at this kit. The more likely I'll be passing on it. Scott Edited June 20, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As per Beemax's Facebook page:1/24 CHEVROLET CRUZE WTCC - JUNE 20141/24 1991 ST165 RALLY MONTE CARLO - AUGUST 20141/20 McLaren MP4 /2 - DECEMBER 2014The Cruze is nice, but I'm far more interested in that Celica Rally car.Nice to see new faces and new ideas being added to the model making side of things.

niteowl7710 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The Cruze is nice, but I'm far more interested in that Celica Rally car. Nice to see new faces and new ideas being added to the model making side of things. The Celica GT-4 Rally car is slated to come out this month - OFFICIALLY - unlike the ever shifting sands of release time on this Cruze. The kit itself is pretty much the same as the existing Celica Rally car that BeeMax/Aoshima did last year as the Australian Rally Spec, but instead it will be modified to reflect the Monte Carlo Rally which required a new tarmac suspension (as opposed to a more "off road" gravel setup in the first kit) as well as a night lighting package for the front. BeeMax has said this is a Trilogy of Celicas, so it remains to be seen what their 3rd and final variant will be in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Aoshima kits much, guess I need to start paying more attention to HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Sikora II Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Any idea for a good source for this kit in the States? Looked at HLJ but didn't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Curious as to what decal will be included with the kit or if there will be three kits with different decals as the only difference. I do wish it had full engine detail as well as more parts and less molded into place in the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
