For all you model Collectors out there.

Just wanted to give any body who is a collector of Corrado models a heads up about a new Corrado model that is due for release in

January 2013. Its a 1/18 scale model made by Otto. Here is a link to their website http://www.otto-models.com/

 

I have a number of VW models from this manufacturer and can vouch for the quality, they are not particularly cheap but they are highly collectable and sell out very quickly. Whilst you pay around 62 euros in all with postage, a check on ebay normally shows that they sale for quite a bit more, I have seen some of the more sort after Golf models released sell for in excess of £120.

 

I joined the otto club some time ago and have purchased eleven various VW models over the past few years. I have attached a few pics of some of the models I have so hopefully you can get an idea of the quality.

 

The model that is due to be released is a G60 model, but what they tend to normally do is during the year release a number of variations of particular models in various specs/colours so I am sure in a few months they will release another Corrado model, hopefully also in VR6 form.

 

My advice would be if your interested to join the club as quickly as possible so you can pre order. They are based in France but their customer service/postage is excellent, all the models come well packaged and fully tracked.

 

The Corrado models in my pics are not from Otto but from revell but all the golf's and the scirocco you see are from Otto. The quality compared to revell is much better.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. A G60 1/18 model will go nicely with my Revell VR6, on my model shelf in my office at JMR

Very cool - thanks for the heads up. I don't really have many model cars but I do like getting little Corrado trinkets - and besides, if they're anything like the Revell ones (which doubled in price in a short amount of time) it may be worth getting one to put away!

They look absolutly stunning. I'm toying (see what I did there !) with the idea of buying the mk3 VR6 for the wheels. Swapping them on to a Corrado VR6 and painting it Dusty Mauve for ultimate raritat. Let's hope they roll the VR6 out.

 

Thanks for sharing your pictures. Be sure to let us know when the G60 gets a full release.

I find myself strangely jealous of your model collection.

[diarmaid16 1]

Fantastic collection! Scirocco looks great. Have just applied for membership so will hopefully be able to order the G60.

 

Cheers for letting us know!

Very nice, just registered :)

Do they ever re-start production of the sold out models?

Would love those mk2 Golfs

[VWVW 1]

Loving the VW collection. If I had that collection it would be in a lock and key Glass display cabinet. You must have to feather dust them to keep the dust away.

[Billzeebub 1]

Great news, thanks for the heads up. I have a blue Revel 1/18 Corrado on the mantelpiece. Be great to get another same scale Corrado on the shelf. Not cheap, but they look quality

Since I have been a member they have only re released one of the golfs and it sold out so quickly again. It's best if you per order as quickly as possible when you see a model you like because they generally sell out before they go only general sale.

Ok, cheers :)

Where do you pre-order, is it on their shopping site? http://shopping.otto-models.com/

 

Just realised, I had to register using their PDF form at the bottom of the page:

Thanks I really like them they look even better in the flesh the pictures dont do them justice. But your right I do need to buy a cabinet you have to be so careful when dusting. So that's next on my shopping list. The aerials and wipers are the most delicate parts.

Ok, cheers :)

Once you register and join the club they will send you an email containing all your log ins and your membership number. Once you have membership number you can print off a form and email it to them confirming your order or just pre order online at http://club-ottomobile.com. Unfortunatly you can't pre order until they confirm your membership details. They should confirm your membership early next week. When you pre order you don't have to pay straight away, you wait until you get an email to say your pre order has been accepted and then you can pay anytime up until the deadline date given.

 

The new list of models containing the corrado was only sent out by them to members yesterday. They normally send a new list of models every 2 months on the 1st of the month.

Nice, about time something in early trim was produced!

[Jim 1]

Nice, about time something in early trim was produced!

 

Surely you jest? Most Corrado models are early trim - like the Norev one I have. The Revell model, being a VR6, is the only late Corrado model I've seen...

[bristolbaron 10]

thanks for the heads up! its possible to join online, just follow the links on the site. not easy though!

 

cheers again

[KIPVW 0]

Yan as, Jim says it's only the revell ones that are late trim, the Norev, Schaback & Minichamps are all early :-)

Seems to me our French model suppliers are going to be popular with a good many on this forum with this new G60 release in 2013. Is anyone thinking group buy here? Sounds like we could all benefit from a possible negotiation with the folks at Otto.

[Tempest 0]

Like the idea of a group-buy :)

 

Finally a G60 Rado model :)

[Jim Bowen 1]

I would be interested in one

Went to a little shop in Nuneaton called Modelenium (check out their website: http://www.modelenium.co.uk) to cash in an old birthday present, a gift voucher, for a 1/43 scale model of a 928 GTS (naturally took the 1/1 scale big boy to drive to Nuneaton, hmmm, V8 ...), and had a chat with the owner regarding this Otto model.

 

Had the following response:

How many Corrado models do you expect will be needed? I may be able to organise a discount for Club Members

 

Maybe worthwhile joining? I have already left my details with him :)

Please check out our auction and maybe grab yourself a bargain!! The Peugeot and Citroen have already sold out on release and more than likely the Corrado wont be far behind.
