TimDarrah Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 Has anyone had any experience with Simil R kits? In the latest Hannant's newsletter, they list a 1/24th Pescarolo/Judd 01 LMP1 car from Le Mans in 2010, I'm very interested in this but it's $80!! Simil R also has a Ford GT from Le Manms and a Ford Focus WRC kit. I've done a search on the company but found nothing. Thanks, Tim

TimDarrah Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Posted May 15, 2012 Eric, Thanks. They look to be "OK" kits, similar to AMT/ERTL (?) but do-able. I can't wait to get mine.
Greyhound Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 Tim - There is a full build article in the October 2011 issue 192 of Tamiya Model Magazine Internationial on a pair of Simil"R 1/24th Ford Focus RS WRC 2010 kit # 121001. The article is by Eric Evain and is very well done. These kits look to have a lot of detail including photoetch parts included. The paint job on these WRC cars and on the LMP cars look to be very compicated! Dan
Eric Aitala Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 There is also this decal set - http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4515 - for the Focus WRC kit... Eric
