   Going to a small garden centre near us, one miniature steam tractor and a 1940's tractor and trailer following it with the owners family riding on haybales on the trailer, superb sight and sound on a backroad!

   Fantastic work Wesley, the decalling is exceptional! Super all round. I remember these as a rally marshall in the day, completely mad machines loud and super fast!

   Thanks guys, yes as an ex race and rally marshall I'm still keen to watch the rallies on TV and try and find the kits to build.

   Skoda Fabia WRC S2000

   This is the Belkits version of this WRC rallycar. A very detailed kit with PE parts and Skoda factory decals. One problem was the top of the rollcage being twisted, so fit the sides onto the interior tub, and cut the cage behind the first top crossmember allowing the rear half to be sanded to fit, OK done. The rest is straightforward.
   I have various clearcoats from three makers, dull/clear and a new one, pearl clear, so I tried it on this build after laying up most of the bodyshell decals. These were Sebastien Ogier's first drive with the VW Group, supporting 'Wings for Life'.
   The clearcoat with sparkle..............
   
   
   
   
   
   There are in the kit bumper mounted night lamps, but they cover decals so I left them off.
