GeeBee Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I'm definitely in for the "revamp" DS21 kit, and I'll tackle people to the front of the line for a Safari... i think Ebbro is going to make a few quid out of me when, I mean if, the DS Safari/Break comes to the market, the BBC never found anything better to use as a camera car,for the horse racing apart from the later CX, that is Edited February 28, 2017 by GeeBee
Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I can't see Heller bringing anything new to the board for a while, after they declared bankruptcy last year, they've already cancelled a few projects they announced at last year's German Toy fair, both versions of the Renault Estafette have now been cancelled, as to Ebbro, who knows .....Wow. Had no idea, what with the reissues and such coming out.Oh well. 21 gets cooler the more I look it over...
GeeBee Posted April 10, 2017 Author Posted April 10, 2017 Just got sent a better image of this one this morning, can't wait to add a few of these to the stash ...
ChrisBcritter Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Hope Ebbro can pick up where Heller left off on the Estafette...

Zoom Zoom Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Just got sent a better image of this one this morning, can't wait to add a few of these to the stash ... Between this and the Hasegawa 2002 tii, it's going to be a great summer!
PARTSMARTY Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Sweet. Looking forward to this. Hope they eventually do an SM. I would love to see an SM
ZIL 111V Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Later gen DS quad lights front end design looks stunning:
peteski Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Yes, the quad-headlights with a clear cover look really nice. IIRC, the inboard lights were articulated and hooked up to the steering to follow the path of the front wheels.

They did, unless you were unlucky enough the buy a North American market DS, they made a right pig's ear of it thanks to Federal laws banning the plexiglass covering and the turing headlamps, not the first time a perfectly good European car has been completely wrecked by these laws though ....

dublin boy Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 The SM was even more stupid looking in Federal spec.
GeeBee Posted April 12, 2017 Author Posted April 12, 2017 When a member of the PT Cruiser club had some Morettes headlamps fitted to their Cruiser, I thought, I know where they got the idea for them ....
niteowl7710 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Hot off the injection molding machines, this is available this morning in Japan.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Kool! So I should see a charge now for the one I've had in PW since the late Pleistocene, then.

The Pajero came in this morning too, although your HLJ stocking mileage may vary as always.

ZTony8 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Maybe they'll do a Chapron body convertible version in 1/24th scale ( I hope, I hope).
peteski Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah, couple of days ago mine was put away in my private warehouse at Hobby Link Japan! It should be well worth the wait!
Mike999 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 "Another interesting feature is front-wheel drive. Some recent rumors from Detroit indicate that this set-up may become common in domestic cars within a few years." From Motor Trend's review of the Citroen ID-19 station wagon, February 1961. MT also said: "Six passengers can be seated on two bench-type seats that are comfortably padded for long trips. Two more passengers, preferably small Frenchmen, can be accommodated on two facing jump seats that fold easily into the rear cargo floor." At a flea market a while back, I found a big stack of Motor Trend and Classic Cars magazines from the 1960s. It's a blast looking thru them.
Richard Bartrop Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 They were right, it just took a little longer. As a kid, one of my favourite things about Dad's Toronado, aside from the futuristic styling, was that flat floor. The back seat was practically like a living room.

They may have caught wind of Ford's FWD Cardinal project, later shelved for the USA but built as the Taunus 12-M in Germany.
