Peugeot 205 WRC - Heller 1:43

[Technics]

Model - Peugeot 205 WRC - Heller 1:43

Write up -

A three week build. A vacation from structure, overly planning and ultimately myself I dove into a project that came to me by chance. 

Balsa pallet being my largest learning here, apart from just forging through an idea, project and issues that come up.

Two primer colours, one matte coat, rest is hand brushed or hand applied on. 

Details - Balsa wood, photo etch parts, tape

 

Modifications - 

Scratchbuilt pallet, out of the box otherwise, apart from adjusting the offset and adding black off plastic card into the fenders as the model was see through.

 

Pros

My first experience with balsa

Representational weathering attempt

Speed, three week build 

Tiny! 1:43

 

Cons

Nothing really, other than it could be more realistic. 
Difficult to photograph, it’s far dustier and nicer in person 😃
