I think you might have a full list now Brian...
...especially after I provisionally fill the #19) spot with Noel Graham (143models).
I have emailed him this morning and asked him to pop in and confirm YES or NO.

Nice one Noel - ALL GONE!
Re: What to do with these? Kris Meeke 6r4 Rally Ireland Demonstration Run 2009
Thanks for the interest guys.
Decal set is coming along nicely, as is making a roof vent. Ive run out of decal paper, had hoped to have a trial fit by this weekend but will have to wait for more to arrive
Final List

Kris drove the car on the town stage as a demonstration run. The car was run for the rest of the rally by Paul Fitzpatrick/David Smyth. The car will be made as it was on that demonstration run, including having Fitzpatricks/smyths name on the car. The livery was ever so slightly different as well. Dont have many pictures of Kris's run in the car, but i think this video says it all

Re: What to do with these? Kris Meeke 6r4 Rally Ireland Demonstration Run 2009
Just a quick update. Have stripped and repainted the first model for a trial run. Other than the grill, which im not happy with as they lines are not crisp, the rest of the things to be repainted came out good. Have now got 5 sets of wheels so still on target to get 5 out in time for christmas. Model looks so much better on these wheels although they still have to be painted. Hoping to get a lot more done in the next few days, works been getting in the way the last while, have a few days off after tomorrow

Re: What to do with these? Kris Meeke 6r4 Rally Ireland Demonstration Run 2009
That looks excellent Brian, and I am so looking forward to seeing them finished!
It's only a personal thing, but I don't bother painting the lines in the grill as I think that the shading caused by the moulding is enough to pick out the detail of each slat. Here's one of my old models that I simply sprayed white and just left it like that...
Another thing, NO model manufacturer to date has managed to recreate the 6R4 rollcage accurately - even more so the front section of the cage!
On the real car, the cage is cleverly hidden within the A and B posts, and certainly doesn't feature the very crude diagonals that the IXO models have. This is another personal 'adjustment' and you are more than welcome to tell me to mind my own business when it comes to your own model run, but if you simply remove the front section of the cage it looks loads better. Just my 2p's worth of course....
BEFORE!...
AFTER!...

Im going to try the grill again and see how it goes, if it doesnt go well il leave it white. Its a lot of work to get right and may not be worth it. Regarding the cage, I will be cutting the cage as you mentioned. Seen it in the other thread about the 6r4 model. Focusing on the decals now as thats the only major thing not sorted yet

Excellent news Brian, and thank you for taking my comments in the manner in which they were intended.
Re: What to do with these? Kris Meeke 6r4 Rally Ireland Demonstration Run 2009
No problem David. I really dont know a whole lot about the 6r4, so it benefits all of us as we will have a better model at the end of it

The model is looking well Brian
I see you hope to have 5 out for Christmas..... I just had to be number 6 on the list
If you don't get sorted with the wheels off Steve, I still have 10 Evo9's on order and don't need the wheels, they'll be here if you need them

Just seen your comment now colin. The plan is at least 5 by christmas, however once ive gotten the decals sorted etc im hoping to get more done. I need to get them done and posted in the next 2-3 weeks as i dont want to post anyting to close to christmas. Wheels is something i can see slowing me down so if you have wheels, ill buy them from you no problem.
Just a quick update about the model. Ive been working away at it slowly over the last few days. Ive made up a rough roof vent and applied a trial fitting of decals, needless to say many of them need to be resized, but thats what this was for. Not all decals are on the car yet. Wheels have also got sprayed, along with having to put spacers on the axels. The original wheels have little spacers on the back of them to keep them out, away from the body, but the new wheels didnt have these so i had to rig up some spacers. I could have just glued them in, but id rather have the wheels still able to turn.
