VW Polo R WRC Monte Carlo 2016 1:24 by Belkits
VW Polo R WRC 1st Monte Carlo 2016
Alternative version BEL005 2013 & BEL010 2015
Accessory parts also available.
With rules stability for several years meaning very little aerodynamic development, Belkits have been able to use the same core parts for several variants of the Polo. The shape of the car looks very good and there’s a decent level of underside and cabin detail to enjoy. Etched parts are included for brake facings, seat mounts, seat belt furniture and some grilles plus there are fabric belts too. The decals are clearly printed and in the 2015 kit offer two options with Ogier or Latvala, while for 2016 there are three driver choices with the former pair plus Mikkelsen. As with the original release of the 2013 car, a slight niggle is with the quality of the instructions. They provide plenty of information including Tamiya paint codes throughout, but the CAD file images used are very low resolution. This will not stop you from building what looks to be an excellent kit.

About Belkits
Launched in 2011, a very good range of plastic kits and decals for the rally modeller. Subjects are a mix of modern WRC and S2000 machines and some iconic historics such as the Mk1 Escort. Plenty of aftermarket decals available too from Renaissance, Studio 27, DMC and others for those fancying something a little different. Made in China for Belgium.
