Here is my newly aquired 1:43 Monte Carlo WRC collection. I have some Monte Carlo decals on order so I can modify the Skoda. Just thought I would show them off as nobody in the states likes rallying and my girlfriend doesn't care :)

A conversation I'm sure is heard in collectors homes throughout the world!

Not in my house, amazingly. Wifey INSISTS that I get all the Moffat cars since I've collected the rest and doesn't complain about me bringing more home on those occasions I do. But I have my money going in other directions too so she knows I have to ballance things myself. It will probably change in the future but its OK now.

To my joy this morning I found room in the display case for another whole row of 1:43 scale cars from the Rally Car Collection. No room for more 1:18s tho'. :(

Nice job there- hope to see pics once the skoda is modified ;)

Perhaps a snow collection after the gravel one? You could add the soon to be released red bull 05 skoda :D

Have a bit of a problem. What would be the best way to remove the decal. The only way I can think of is paint over it with white then place the new decal over it. After really looking at it, its not a decal but looks and feels painted on.

it should be a decal as its IXO. the roof one can be removed w/ electrical tape, might require a few pulls but be careful to only remove that decal. The same can be done w/ the foor plate and licence plates. Just be careful of placement so that only the decals you want to remove are.
