Heller: Renault 5 Turbo rally winner

[89AKurt]

Last build for 2019!  The WIP is only one page, because I blew this out as Box Stock.  There was only one sprue of parts, and the window sprue (of course), tires were very rubber-like slicks.  If one wanted to really be accurate, there would be a ton of scratch-building required.  I think it's funny the doors open, so you can see the super simplified interior, with no pedals, handbrake (that's like the most important part for a rally car, ask Ken Block), rally equipment, seatbelts, even the gauges were just simple raised rings (aftermarket decals used).  There is an engine with no distributer, the suspension has no springs for detail.  Fit is better than average, with big round pins and squared holes that work better than AMT snap-tight design.  Decals are very well printed, that Solvaset does not work on.  The hatch stays open with no prop rod, couldn't get more perfect.  A fun quick and dirty kit to throw together.
