I wonder how long before it's available... might be a busy month if the Johnson XE and this car are released at the same time...

The XA looks good, so that's three to be released?

Green, Yellow and Red - Which one to get ???

The XB Moffat No 25 car disappoints with the headlight area still wrong.

I'm waiting on tango/black XB and that maybe the only future XB for me - unfortunately.

When will the #25 Moffat City Ford car be avaliable?
Also the XA GT looks great,very close to what the GTHO phase 4 looks like.

I didn't realize the 'which' quandary affected people on this forum!

I've just received the XC and am simply amazed. All the pictures I've seen did not do it justice.

I've an XB coming soon, but recently thought about adding the tango/black to the stable when it is released. Now, along comes the XA.

Thank God I'm only into road cars. I do like having a roof over my head and the occasional meal.

Also just noticed (using 'Australian' under 'Search') there have been a heap of 1/64 scales added, such as HG & HT Monaro's, road XU1's & Bond & Brocks '72 Bathurst XU1's, CV8, VY SS, GTO & GTS Coupe's & VU SS ute.

Unfortunately there aren't any pictures yet, but I would imagine people will eagerly awaiting the arrival of these items (I know I am!) :D

They are looking good but I am also sad that they didn't fix the XB driving lights... I don't get it, Biante are so good with the details, what is it with this problem that they won't address. If it was the last XB they will ever make then I guess I could understand a bit more but there is at least 1 more XB (Tango) and I am sure there are other race cars and XB GT Sedans coming as well?!?!

It looks as though there's a front spoiler on the XA GT but no rear one - perhaps they could sell rears (same as Phase III) for us obsessives...

im with Renz Man, i cant wait for the 1:64th, if the minicars touring car detail is anything to go by (which i believe it is) then they will be awsome.

thanks Marty

The driving lights/spot lights on the XB were mounted from behind the grille and the lens was flush with the front of the grille. All XB's produced to date have the driving lights/spot lights mounted on the outside of the grille with the complete light showing. Nothing to stop me buying it or anything, it just looks a bit odd that is all.

The headlights are only part of the problem with the XB model. As discussed before there are several problems with the front end. These errors are difficult to describe accurately - just compare the model with a real XB or some photos.

The prototype XA looks better, though I get the impression from the picture that it too is not 100% perfect. The front edge of the bonnet appears to be too straight if viewed directly front-on. It should have a gentle downward curve to it, a subtle but distinctive feature which is obvious to those who are familiar with the XA. Hope Biante can check and correct this before production. Still a good looking model though.
