PatW Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 To go with my previous thread showing the Airfix Mini WRC here we have the finished Fiesta.............. The thin white line decals are a smidge difficult to run around the rear panels! The side view............. And the front.................. You tell by the low front that this is a tarmac version. The gravel version would ride a lot higher.
model-collector Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Looks good! I am still working on mine, a very enjoyable kit, not looking forward to doing the decal work... I am glad to see yours done, it will give me more drive to get mine wrapped up.
PatW Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys. Yes the decals are time consuming, my wife tells me I have no patience but these certainly slow me down. If your building either this or the MINI WRC just before you put the cage in just shave a millimetre or two off of the bottom. I noticed especially with this one the body doesn't sit on the chassis as the cage is to high! This was evident when I tried to fit my body but I had already fitted seats, cage and belts when I found this out Also watch out for the small bits, aerials, wipers seat belts etc as there is little or no leeway when cutting them from the sprue, with spue cutters of even a sharp craft blade. Most of mine broke then I had to stick them back together or use other thin stock to remake things. Edited August 19, 2013 by PatW
