Is it possible to resurrect this ?
Am I dreaming or did someone post a photo of the Airikkala Astra which was on the point of being released some time in the recent past ?

I have been trying to do the Manta and Astra for a while but with real work getting in the way things have not progressed as I have been too busy.
I did have a 400 painted up but then realized that the Schuco base I used has the rear reg plate area moulded into the shell and on the Telecom car the plate is between the lights, so it was stripped back and the reg plate area was ground off to produce the rear valance as it should be.
The Astra is a Minichamps base with a filled in sunroof area and its been difficult to get the roof done so the area where the sunroof has been filled in does not show up when painted. There is also moulded in rubbing strips and skirts on the body which need to be ground off. Thats here I am with these.
I guess when the nights start to draw in I will be indoors a bit more.

It's not on the Corgi new releases for Jan to June so i think it might have been dropped.
