Great looking Audi.  Very well done.

Thanks guys. I look back at life, and drove the first Quattro to land in the UK, having their press officer as a neighbour!

Very nice build Pat!

[PatW]

Thanks Larry, nice kit goes together very well, but when decaling the numbers sometimes don't match up with the decal sheet!

[Bruce Scully]

This is a nice-looking build , well done.

Beautiful rally car build. Still needs lots of mud and a few fender dents. Happened to watch a YouTube video yesterday of some rally crashes. Those cars fly and get extremely dirty. Just kidding about the mud and dents, like it just the way it is.

Thanks guys. Yes I have built kits of rally cars with dirt on the body but particularly on and around the wheels and tyres. Having been a Rally marshal about 40 years ago there were some very fast Group 2 cars that flew on a regular basis. The World Rally Championships now have still cars that fly!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Very sharp-looking build. Great work!

[PatW]

Cheers Donato.

Good looking build from an iconic rally car from the golden times of rallying! Been planing to build also some group B models but have been stuck on the 50's cars and hot rods.

But as a huge fan of group B rallying I started to wonder if there is a mistake in the kit's title because to my understanding the S1 Sport Quattro is the one with large spoilers and wide fenders that was introduced as an evolution version in 1985. This one was introduced in 1984 and was just called Sport Quattro. 

[1959]

Replying to my self... I have always thought that S1 is the wide body version but it is actually called S1 E2. It is never too late to learn new. It had been  almost 40 years when I saw the Evolution version in livenä tv program of the Rally Finland as a 8 years old kid. It was impressive! 

[PatW]

Hi 1959. There is one kit maker that does the evo version with the big arches and rear wing, very impressive. I hope to find one soon and build.
