AUDI Quattro Sport S1 „Rallye Monte Carlo 1985“

[thebavarian]

The first rally car that landed on my bench. The model is from Nunu in 1:24 scale. I installed the original Nunu 
accessory kit with etched parts, safety belts and a small aluminum turned part. The decals are from Reji, as decals with 
cigarette advertising are banned in Germany. Although the kit represents a vehicle from the Olympus Rally, I really wanted 
Walter Röhrl's version.

The fit of the kit was great, the etched parts enhance some areas (e.g. windshield wipers, mud flaps, etc.) very well.
The decals, both from the kit and purchased from Reji Liesen, work well. They only didn't fit perfectly are the 
three-color stripes on the rear side windows. In addition, they are not completely opaque, which can be clearly seen 
from the starting numbers on the side.
The colors are from Zero Paints and are therefore original HB colors.

Excellent model of the unloved"Shorty" (der Kurze).

[TonyK]

That car wasn't pleasing to the eye but you did a great job on the model. Very sharp!

Great model from the greatest era of rallying! Well done! As a kid I watched probably 30 times VHS-tape from 1985 WRC season and remember well the Monte Carlo rally and how one of our country's legendary drivers, Ari Vatanen, won the race and Rohrl was second.

Well done! I just ordered this kit and photo etch myself after watching a documentary on Audi. Thanks for the heads-up on the lack of opacity on the decals. I'll double up on them. 😁

Very good work, the model turned out fantastic. Congratulations.

I built this model exactly the same way with the same materials: Nunu's kit and photo-etched parts, and Reji's decals. However, I found two details that should be corrected: the headlights are smaller than the original version from that year, and second, Nunu provides the model with slick tires and off-road rims. I used Nunu's tires and made resin copies of the spare tire to solve the problem. Third, the spare tire shouldn't go in the cockpit.
