Possible ZS model maker?

Found this company, who make all sorts of models,

http://www.kandrreplicas.co.uk/MGS.HTM

They say if there's enough demand for a particular model they may be able to produce it! Drop 'em an email, as I have and who knows!

I'm sure XPowerforums enquired about a ZS model and they needed at least 500 orders!

Looking at the pics of the ZR and TF, the quality looks a bit on the, er, crap side

I thought so too but pics don't always do justice...

Is it just me or does the back wheel on this look really wrong like the tyres are far too thin and not to scale?

Maxxed_Ross · 11-11-08, 12:21 PM

yeah the offset is all wrong

Well I was just trying to find someone to make them, as I know a lot of people wanted them. I had a reply:

Hi Adam

Thank you for your message, we have had a number of enquiries ourselves over
the years but we tend to find that people say 'yes I want one' but when it
comes to putting their hands in their pockets they suddenly all disappear.
We would need definite orders for around 200 models to make it a viable
proposition.

Regards

Stephen

However if there's no interest then I'm sorry for posting.

Sorry mate i didnt mean to sound bitchy, i was just pointing out the wheel looked to small, i would be very up for one of the zs if the quality were slightly better.

Top marks for taking the time to find out about this though.

Put me down for one!
In fact, an easier way of getting to 200 would be to do, say, 3 versions. Road, BTCC Hotwheels, BTCC MG S n R? That way you only need 70 odd people?
Just a thought?

Spread the link across the forums and I am sure, together, we can do it!
Maybe even put a bit about it in the MG mag you write for?
Also, the btccpages forum are always talking about models and the MG comes up quite a bit.

Apparently X Power had £3000 in deposits but still couldn't get them made. I dunno, I'm happy to champion this though.

mattie007 · 13-11-08, 10:19 PM

yeh, I put down a £100 for 3 models but it went tits up at the 11th hour. Worth another go?
