Wildrice Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well my tribute build to Colin McRae is finished. Tamiya kit. GM White basecoat / Tamiya Racing Blue. Dupont clear. Scale Motorsports photoetch parts. All detail paint was done with Tamiya paint. Antennas made from straight pins. Not a show winner but a fun build in tribute to an awesome racecar driver. RIP Colin. This was built for an online contest at TMM and SRL.

randx0 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 looks pretty good to me.the only thing missing is dirt.seriously though I always felt that his passing was way too soon.are those the decals that came with the kit or did you have to do some mixing and matching?

RodneyBad Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The news of his passing was awful It is Awful that there has been more than one Racer Driver leaving us too early from a tragic flying accident. Your build is a wonderful and beautiful tribute He would be Proud.. Can't believe there is a website for that http://www.planecrashinfo.com/famous.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDSVTPARTS Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Beautiful work, I've always loved the WRC series and McRaes passing was a sad event indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit decals. They went on pretty good for older Tamiya kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I always loved this car with that paint. We certainly lost a great pioneer of rally. Were the paint/decals hard to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint isnt just right. Its hard to determine where to put the blue. Decals went on pretty good. I used micro sol mixed 50/50 with water. On the ones that went on the front I set the car in the dehydrator to help them conform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great paint and decal work Bobby! That's a fun build to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Gwinn Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I raced one of these cars a few times..... on Gran Turismo 3 for Playstation 2.... lol But anywho, your build looks good! Not being much of a Ford fan, I like the looks of the focus for some odd reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
