I have several, and I would say the standard varies.
Some models are very decent, some less so.
What I would say though is they seem to be very good with overall shape - none of mine are inaccurate.
The insides are where detailing can be so different.
I suspect that much of the Triple 9 stuff, plus the French rally magazine series and the MCG range are all coming out of the same design and production factory.
I am happy to be corrected on that.
The key for me is the subjects produced, many are not available anywhere else, and probably won't be.

 

well yeah i do see a couple of cars from IXO that spark my intrest , like a decent 1/18 scaled RS Cosworth
but that one also shows a lot of decal and paint imperfections in the video's
the site i'm looking at in germany does show videos on almost every model they sell so thats a plus

this is the Porsche i was talking about

 

Which RS Cosworth were you looking at?
As yet, no one has made the effort at a road going RS500.
If it's a 3 door I would wait for Solido, although the most impressive version I have is the recent Norev.
It has by far the best looking headlights of all the ones I have - including those from Minichamps and AUTOart.
If you are after a 4 door 'Sapphire' the new MCG is quite decent, although again the headlights could be much better.

 

It's this one

Ford Escort RS Cosworth #7 7e Rallye Tour de Corse 1993 Biasion, Siviero 1:18 Ixo

Het model werd in de gekende hoogwaardige Ixo -kwaliteit geproduceerd en geeft het origineel zo best mogelijk weer.

I can offer no advice on any IXO Escort Cosworth - I don't have any!
Not least because I bought the OTTO 1994 Monte Carlo winner, and don't really want another in essentially the same colour scheme.
I am considering one of the 1995 RAS versions, since OTTO didn't do any of these in scale.

 

I have this and is a decent car

 

Damn Loving that color patern on the Porsche!

 

 

 

New announcements. May have to add one of these. I love the Dauers but since they weren’t technically a factory Porsche effort, I’ve avoided them.

 

One of my favourite ever Porsche's! I might get the Le Mans winner. I had the Spark one but sold it a long time ago when no one had it for sale anymore.

 

I was a little miffed to see these appear a few hours after I ordered my EB110 LM, but to be honest, it probably saved me a few quid on a model that would have lingered in a box.

I'd buy the 3rd place one, though. I'm not obsessed with winners and I think the Shell livery looks better.

For that price of both you had one spark back in the day.
Those porsche's are a steal.

 

Just read more about them and found out that even though Joest was on the racing license, this was in a fact a factory effort. Guess I’ll be adding the LM winner!

I'm not sure if these two were posted before as 'new'.
The Fiat 124 looks like it has opening doors
Perhaps a moderator could change the banner to something more relevant to 2025.

Perhaps a moderator could change the banner to read 'IXO models', or should I start a new thread?

 

Done!

 

A definite for me is an open diecast 1971 Fiat 124 which may be the first for IXO and hopefully the start of a trend for such things (front doors only).
Almost at the very end of the catalogue posted above are two subjects of significant interest to me - Bastos sponsored group A BMW 528/530 models.
Car #30 represents the 1982 Spa 24 hours winner and is another definite purchase although sadly I suspect it's a sealed version only.

 

I’m contemplating the BMW as well.

 

Four choices for the 1982 Group A BMW 528i, including the Spa 24 hours winner (#30).
Car #26 finished in second place.
Car #28 finished in fourth place.
Car #27 finished fifth.
Pretty decent selection of place getters.

 

Love car no30!

 

It might look as though #30 + #28 are from the same team, but I have my doubts.
There is no 'Juma' markings on #28, and it runs on a different brand of tyres.
I will be buying the #30 being a Spa 24 hours winner, and will get a Gitanes version if they become discounted.

 

Old Solido upgraded line / Z models prototype from Nuremberg 2020 toy fair now sold as IXO ??

 

funny label there. For a moment i thought Chevelle being revived and even has the ZR1 badge LOL. Looks pretty sweet as full opening model from IXO though.

The 1982 Group A BMW 528i looks promising and would be sweet if they decide to make civilian version of it later. I presume that is the E28?

I would be pretty confident other colour choices will follow.
