youpey Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) This is my first completed model in several years i believe. It is a Heller Renault 5 Turbo rally car. This car has very little to no details. it is practically a snap kit. this is one of my favorite cars in real life, so i really wanted to make sure i finished it. I made many mistakes on it. The doors open and hood and trunk open too. I am getting the tamiya ones for my birthday, so i will try it again with that one. Next time though i am going to do an all white roof. trying to mask off the white with no edges and trying to keep the line tight was hard. EDIT. Added dust/dirt. what is a rally car without dirt Edited April 21, 2018 by youpey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I like it! Just the right amount of dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Great looking Rally Car. I don't know if it was your intension or not but I noticed what looks like some of the dirt from the road on the base. Having watched some of these races on TV I notice the teams service areas have some type of a tarp on the ground. In your picture it looks as if the car has just pulled into a service area and the road grime is still dropping off on the tarp. Well built.
