A Le Mans legend is coming to scale once again, this time the price tag is much more manageable, KK Scale will offer four versions of the Mazda 787B 1990-1991. KK Scale usually are dedicated to metal and sealed, but this example does provide access to the cockpit. All four are part of the November 2023 deliveries. Well done gents!

The #201 car has wrong nation flag of the driver Dieudonne. There is swedish flag with his name but he is from Belgium. Exactly the same fault as the CMR version from last year.
I was just going to post that this sounds a lot like the CMR model – several versions, and opening doors. Having the same error suggests it’s the same model but in a different box.
This is likely the case, a copy of CMR. Not perfect, but at the price, it can get people on the fence due to pricing into this model. Did CMR do all the same liveries or more?
CMR, WERK83, KK Scale, Triple9, Model Car Group…an so on
behind all these brands there is a small group of german people, they also own shops like ck-modelcars.de, modelissimo.eu, modelcarworld.de etc.
As far as I know, the same factory makes the stuff for them, and often they sell the same crap under different brand names.
I have the #55 CMR, and it looks very good imho, especially at the price (around € 55).
May get the Spark model still, but wondering whether that’s worth it at three times the price of the CMR. And then the doors don’t open. Only things like the headlight covers will look better.
It is a tough decision. For some, neither of these will do for various reasons.
I bought the Autoart version 90 euros many years ago… Times have changed !
Indeed
before the wages of Chinese workers were non-existent, they were almost like slaves. nowadays they luckily have a moderate salary
the prices of materials have also risen, as has the price of electricity, all of the aforementioned factors increase the prices of models
p.s. today, 90 euros would not even be enough to cover the manufacturing costs of AUTOart’s models
Progress?
