Kemszi Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is my new projekt. I have build this kit many times, but this is one of my favorite rally car. So I was in the mood to build again one kit (or two ,because I bought an another kit with the Repsol Decals) I bought PE parts ,and new wheels, which are a little bigger than the original. I try to add some extra details too, like wirings and kevlar decals,and made some modifications on the suspension, It was too high. (You can see the original height in one of the pictures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, the suspension is from a gravel setup kit(but this is a Rally Monte Carlo'92 edition), so it needs to modifying many parts, like lower arms, half shafts,shocks and springs You get 2 set wheels in the box, there is a small one(this is the tarmac wheels), and a smaller For Me the original tarmac wheels seems to small, and the tyre walls are tall, thats why I bought a new set. The body is from the street version, so there are many badges(and also many burrs) on it ,what needs to be cut off , and sand it back nicely The dashboard is almost finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete75 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Very interesting - and a bit concerning - but I'm really glad to learn these things before starting! Yep, I notice that this must be the sister kit of the Kankkunen 1992 Finland one; I'll bet the only difference is the box & a couple of decals! ?

Yes,this is a hasegawa habit, make a new box and a new set of decals, then the new kit is ready. I've run into this a few times already(I built the Subaru Impreza WRX 1993 RAC rally edition, then I bought the Rally Monte Carlo'95 version. I thought it was coming with a tarmac wheels and suspension...but no.It is the same kit with same parts, just the decals was changing. It is the same situation with the Lancia 037 JGTC edition. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemszi Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I managed to put up 3 stickers in 2 hours, this is the moment when I always promise myself that I never build a race car again.But on the next day, I'm already thinking about which new rally car to start building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped this build for a while, because there was a problem , when I took of the masking tape , it interrupted the decals and varnishing.So first I removed all the old paint ,the decals, and a bought a new set of decals. I was a lot of work, but If everything goes well I want to varnish it on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
