    Thanks, Scott - already had the R34 pics saved!? I'm using them for ideas on a rally car project I'm about to start. What impresses me is that it always looks like the CF is laid down with a single piece, but surely you must cleverly overlap separate pieces in places?

    Awesome work. Especially like the Golf & Land Rover ??

    Very interesting project. This "Box Stock" building looks mighty hard work!!?

    Flawless building - I really enjoy studying your work. Would love to know how you're able to get your carbon decals so neat on complex shapes!??

    British people talking about the weather is kind of a joke: we do it a lot here, probably because it's an inoffensive subject and rain is never very far away. However, it is ironic (irony being another particularly British thing) that our temperate climate (neither hot nor cold) is unremarkable compared to many other places in the world. Now that I've thought about it, I can see why you might not understand! ?

    Great job X2! The Silvia looks mean on those wheels. (Like the unmistakably English backdrop!)

    Wasn't expecting to see a MK2 Golf in candy lime green - nice work! ??

    Hi Vitally & welcome! ?

    Thanks very much for replying, Roger. They certainly do look like a very useful bit of kit. Will investigate ?

    Hi guys, I'd like to register. I'll be using the Italeri kit for the works Audi Quattro WRC car from 1981: Never liked the livery so it'll be good to turn in it into something more like this: On the outside it will be a discreet dark grey coupe (with no fog lights). The interior will remain that of a rally car, although it will be masked by tinted windows. Very pleased to find Reji does the correct Ronal tarmac alloys (above), so got them ordered and am looking forward to the off!

    I have an Italeri 1:24 kit with a one piece glass insert and wish to remove the driver & passenger windows. The A and B pillars on the car are wide and potentially forgiving in terms of hiding cut edges, although I plan on being surgical! I suspect it will be easiest to divide the section with the rear three windows, cutting straight across the B pillar line, then cut the windows from the windscreen and glue that into the body separately. Advice welcome here, but my real query is about cutting tools/technique: I'm thinking razor/detail saw, although my basic Tamiya one seems pretty crude/coarse toothed so some shopping seems in order! Recommendations/advice please ?

    Brilliant - something about rallying Volvos makes me smile every time! Killer stance ?

    Ditto - well deserved victory, Scott ?

    Nice one Zack - looking good in yellow ?

    Thanks guys, you make good points. I'm going to order the kit and will leave the fogs off (for the time being, anyway). I reckon I can still make this thing look cool!!?

    I'm toying with an idea of doing a "road legal" Audi Quattro rally car: I've never been a fan of the 1981 WRC works team livery so it would be a good opportunity... I saw a post suggesting that fog lamp clusters may not be street legal stateside? This could be a deal breaker for me: not-entirely-wolf's-clothing might be as far as I can go when a kit comes with badass lights like above! What is the ruling here, please?

    Those wheels are a thing of beauty - she's gonna be killer!?
  19. Pete75
    Cool - glad you're back at it Dann! Nice wheels: what are they and are they a straight swap, fitting-wise, for the Fuchs ones in the kit? (Porsches seem to have such a big front/rear width difference!)
  20. Pete75
    Thanks Nigel, that's really kind of you. Fingers crossed! ?

    Latest eBay purchase just in & I'm very pleased!? I have one other Hasegawa kit in stash, but I've never built one. It comes with a load of photo etch plus belt fabric - awesome! The guy I bought it from had it since new: he trebled his money in storing it for me, so we're both happy. Will be done as the McRae 1994 Rally GB winning car. Just can't afford any slip ups in the build as spares won't be cheap!!

    Thanks Paul, Alex, Atin & Dann - appreciate the support! ??
  23. Pete75
    Thanks - I'm delighted to have influenced someone! It's a nice kit, I think you'll enjoy it ? Much appreciated - I certainly gave it my best shot! ? Cheers Dann! ?

    Wow! That's really impressive. The metal painting combined with all that PE is so realistic. Keep up the great work ?

    Howdy Bob? Lots of magnifying glasses & LED lights out there to strap on your head - I look like a cross between a surgeon & a coal miner whilst at the bench! Enjoy ?
