I just received box 16 with the body. The model is really fun to build. 1 part fell out of the engine bay unfortunatly and i didnt want to remove all the wires,wheels etc. Also the customer service of IXO is really good!. I managed to break a part and the even send it to me without any costs.
Beautiful and very detailed model, cool functions too :) I have a 1/43 scale red Peugeot 205 GTI by Maxichamps, so nice to see a bigger model of the same car :D
One up-grade to enhance realism would be to dull the shiny plastic or vinyl that the tyres are made from. The model looks very realistic and nicely detailed, the shiny plastic tyres are the only bug that let it down. You could try dulling them with fine grey scotch brite for the side wall and 1000 grit on the tread, you may have a better solution.
A clean and detailed model of the car, impressive! One question though, why did the manufacturer decide to go with Phillips screws? At this scale, hex screws provide even more realism.
205 gti nice stock i know this big diecast kit looks great iv the Heller rally version i could not get old Tamiya version but i might just build it an try changing seats Dash and other parts interrior that ar in 1 mold or cast might go street stylevinstead the rally livery its in u know anyway awsome job
Well i got all packages now, wanted to start on kit 73 it seems that the bonnet delivered in the first package has alot of paint error/damage. Even though i stored it dust and scratch free. Looks like paint error
@@TheScalemodelingChannel i have contacted them for several parts already. Their customer service is incredible. They send thus far always replacement parts
That kit is awesome! Hope they expand their selection of kits, but wow that is cool!

My god, i ve never seen such a detailed model
Sweet! That thing looks amazing. Been waiting but it was worth it!
Whoah, what an amazing looking Peugeot there! So nicely detailed, especially with all the work you've put into it. Well done 👍🏼👍🏼
outstanding model !
that flocking looks great ! nice to see these "real car" details on such a huge model as 1/8 is
black with a red inline, like the car's moldings!
Looks amazing. Although prefer the factory wheels. They were classic wheels that also showed it was the 1.9L.
Super beautiful.
Wow what a COOL kit.....looks awesome
Fantastic,
Would love to see this with some newer car models.

So, what was the final cost on this kit and why can't you buy it all at once? Super interested, hope somebody responds.

I hope someone makes a mk1 gti in 1/8 scale.
I hope so too!
👌👌💖💖💖
Thats great but this kit costs more than my actual 205 gti cost.
If someone was interested in getting into the hobby how much would a model like the cost and where would I go to find it

These 1/8 models are pretty expensive will easily knock you back a couple grand
between 1 and 1,3k depending on how you order it.
Hello. Iam looking for a Ford escort Mark 2 1600sport model in daytona yellow black roof 1978.
Any help please?👍
Sorry, i don't know of any.
🤗👏👏👏👍
That thing looks real. I mean, they all do. But, this one looks like Barbie could get in it and drive it away.
