Model.

Thanks Zachary. Yes the wheels come with the kit and are normally painted gold.

Super paint!

Looking fantastic so far. I have one Merc and an Audi both DTM cars on the shelf.

Thanks guys. The build is just down to research and imagination of how I would like to see a 1:1 car that I would build and run, really great fun. Just as a taster I'm now looking at Time Attack cars, that's sprinting round a road course track against the clock for only one lap! So the cars are built like some of the Pikes Peak cars, very low with wings front and back!! So I shall be using plenty of plasticard!

Well all finished today, added the foot pegs,pipes,number plate, headlight and just three decals, two moon and one number plate decal.

Cheers Pat, yes get on and build a cracker for us all to enjoy. How's BC, our eldest son lives near Calgary?

Cheers Bob, some update pics coming in a few minutes............. OR even now!

Thanks Dann, I would very much like to see pics of their cars please!

Thanks Tony. I always wonder if I put too many decals on, as I try to fill every tiny bit of space! But it's a rally car so they normally have plenty of logo's!

Hot foot from 'On the workbench' here are the rest of the pics................... Lots of decals, some from the kit and aftermarket and some home printed. A bit of poetic licence with the last pic as Miko has never driven for Subaru as he had a Ford contract. I couldn't find any other driver decals!

Finished, laid up a few more decals mainly home printed jobs..... See the rest of the pics on 'Under Glass'.

Thanks Tom. Well I hope so when it's done! I'm using all manner of bikes from google search to combine all the parts to hopefully build an interesting one.

Yes what a good idea, another colour scheme! Today I've added wipers, aerials, mirrors and a few more decals (but still looking for some more!). More pics tomorrow.

I started with this kit......... Shor tened the front forks using alloy tube and painted the frame rattle can Humbrol Candy Apple Green........ I hope to do some more tomorrow.

I bought this for a low price as 'used' off of ebay, and it was delivered on Wednesday. When it came the underside of the chassis had been painted (I don't know what with but it flaked off when touched) and the front and rear suspension, brakes and wheels were fixed on. Unfortunately the rear wheel/tyre and suspension fell off one side and the front suspension frame was further forward on the other side. I took the enamel thinners to the front frame and dissolved the glue and set it all straight. The rear I did similar on the other side and re-attached the parts there. The body had been compressed, so both the windscreen posts were bent forward and one was broken at the roof. Both 'A' posts were straightened and broken one re-attached. On checking the chassis all four wheels were level on the ground. I started attaching bits to the chassis, painted the seats added belts, the dash with decals, steering and the roll cage. Next I attached the front light pod and rear wing and painted the body, not the standard boring Subaru blue but my own take. Added number square and number decals and printed off and added some 7Up decals on white decal paper. I then added the light pod and headlight lenses with Revell Clear White glue, and painted the front indicators and rear light lenses and attached to the body when dry. I masked and painted the windscreen unit and painted the wheels and today took off the masks attached the glass area to the body and when dry clipped the chassis unit to the body, that's the build so far I may find more decals to add, and wipers, aerials and door mirrors.

Thanks Zachary, yes I like the classic 911's best.

Cheers darthsideous.

WOW Superb!

Beautiful British Sports Car well done John!

Yes Brian, that's the way it went where the wing fits near the bonnet, plasticard to the rescue. But you couldn't put too much in as there wasn't a great deal of room, and no room at the back as the chassis mounting point was there, which caused it to come away when test fitting to the chassis.

Oh well I guess we'll just have to wait!

Super job Alan well done.

Well done Marcos, superb quality build and paint!

Yet another superb fun build, well done Bob!
