Cheers Steve.

Cheers Dan, now I'm looking forward to building the Belkits VW Polo WRC kit!

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.

Thanks afx, nice build except as above twisted rollcage.

Thanks Brizio, yes it's a well detailed (tools,two spares, complete interior) kit with no flash, with PE and seatbelt material.

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.

Great Jim that's good to hear, thanks.

Well, thanks guys. Yes I've just printed off some graffiti decals. I just have to find where to put them............

Crazy but nice, well done Michi!

In a similar vein to my DoKa but with a single cab, lowered, Porsche Fuchs rims, sun visor, Fujimi Bikes and home decals.

Wow that's a long one! Superb Chuck well done and look forward to seeing the trailer!

Superb Build Jim, I hope your OK out there after this terrible storm!

Superb woody. There would be plenty of trees used in a real one!

I saw this on the Le Mans live feed! I'm waiting to see what you come up with that looks sooooo good!

Thanks Dale and your dead right it's not as easy as it looks copying a 1:1 vehicle.

Thanks again Dann. As said I take my inspiration from pics I see and try and create them with what I have available.

Thanks Mark.

Cheers John.

Thanks Donald.

Wowee, You've made a super job of this one! There were a lot of these plus Messerschmitt's on the streets here in the UK when I was growing up 1948 onwards. These in particular were easy to park, drive forwards to the kerb, open the 'front' door and step onto the pavement.

Wow Matt, it's a very long time since I've seen one of these! You've made a super job of it too! I saw a lot of these in my nearly 30 years as a marshall at Silverstone just 5 miles away. Yes my father bought me my first pocket money kit (for 2/6) in 1956 an Airfix Spitfire in a plastic bag and that awful stringy tube glue (he was a career RAF Sergeant). I've been building ever since. As a boy I lived in a small village called Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire, nearby there was a hillclimb circuit, and David Brown named his cars after the hill after he started to race his first homebuilt cars there.

My two VW's.........

my two VW Pick-Up's...........

Cheers Chris.

Thanks guys, yes I had a set of Porsche Fuchs alloys with tyres in the spares box so used them on this.
