Airfix/Heller WRC Cars 1:43 finished

[Smilesperhour]

Have a few of these kits lying around.

 

Over the summer i took the oppurtunity to try tamiya spray paint in the in laws garden and these where the test victims.

 

Finally got round to decaling and finishing. The kit decals disintegrated so the focus has decals from ebay, tge imprezza is 20+ year old decals from 2 or 3 kits of same car and the 206 uses kit and a set bought online.

 

The white on all these kits decals is very transparent and even the ebay decals still look pink on the 206.

 

But nice to actually get something finished.

Great looking rallye cars. Well done.

Very nice

Great job on these small scales. It makes a very nice little WRC collection. Decaling is one of my favourite part of model building but when they are too old or of poor quality, it's really irritating

Good job.  I am a big fan of 1/43

Nice job on those tiny things!  I agree, Heller decals are some of the worst ever to work with.  They will try your patience in ways you've never thought of.

I've got a small collection of the Porsche/Mercedes/Peugeot LeMans cars.  Fun little kits, but those decals!

Beauties! Very impressive considering the scale. Well done!!

[Smilesperhour]

Thanks all

They're decent little kits and have plenty in my stash to build up a nice field of cars

 

I have two more to finish a evo and a bugeye subaru and then i have some citreons to build before I tackle the delta and 205.

 

Evo uses tge dreaded kit decals the subaru a combination of ebay decals.
