View Full Version : Genie's Corolla
Any body know if the is a model of the genie's Corolla, for the 2005 champion?
Orchard Motorsport had his car in 1/43, not sure who made it, looked ok but not up to KMD standard
Yeah I looked at it too. It was very poorly done. KMD is in a different league

Andy gilmore did last years car-see pic. as usual I am working on this one too. I have the grapics made up just have to scale them to get a result-so many cars to make-so little time.
McHale decals by me-scanned from some Kevin McDade sent me some time ago, Kingspan by Andy Gilmore.
Both cars built by David Napier in Downpatrick-Scale 1/24, Bottom car by Andy.

Any pics of the KMD car as I have yet to see it and am interested in getting one
no mention of Donnellys Corolla on KMD site, glue on windows doesnt sound like the work of Kevin McDaid.....
The ones I saw in Orchard didn't have any of the usual KMD stickers or labels on them. I would doubt that they were his work

If it is a KMD model then I wonder why Kevin hasnt got them on his site
where there many of the models in the shop?

I did hear that Kevin was doing the Corolla but perhaps time is a problem for him_I know it is for me.

Kevin hasn't started his yet so the model from Orchard isn't his

I wonder if they would take any of my Killarney and McRae Stages models less gluey windows

Hi Everyone,
Just clarify:
I have not made a model of Eugene's Corolla YET, I will be making his 2004 Donegal winning car early next year as a limited edition of 100 models, details will be on my site in due course
Orchard Motorsort does not and WILL not have any of my models for sale.
I do not know who made the 1/43 scale model of Donnelly Corolla's that Orchard motorsport is selling, I seen it and its simply a mess.
To those of you who praised my work, THANK YOU.
Regards
Kevin Mc Daid

Not me
I know PJ models did the 1/18 car but there was a spelling mistake in the co drivers name
Fussy bugger I am but if a models worth doing then do it right I say.
I await to see Kevin's Corolla of Donnelly as the McHale ones hes done for me in the past are the dogs

What can I say-I have a bare shell 1/18 corolla sitting here on the floor just crying it little eyes out for want of a decent paint job and some Kingspan logos.:roll:
Not anymore-it got binned
