Is there an appointed distributor/retailer for OZ related diecast subjects in Europe?
I would like to get my hands on one or two models, but can't face the huge shipping charges of having them sent by airmail....
On a related topic, I got hold of the recently introduced Bastos RS500 from Minichamps, but be aware there are one or two problems. First is the rear ride height - it looks far too generous for me. I'm not sure how to get around this, but I suspect the problem stems from what looks like oversize wheels and tyres. The second is easier to correct - there are no air jacks sticking out of the underside of the car. These are very obvious in any decent photo of an ETCC spec RS500. Speaking of Minichamps, their decision to offer a new line of MKII rally Escorts is odd. More so when you consider that the Roger Clark Cossack Escort was (reasonably) done by SunStar in the recent past. And yes - I add my voice to those who think we need a decent Rover Vitesse/SD1. Question is - will it be 'wider' than it should be?....... :>)
