fitforbattle Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) The 1998 World Rally Championship season was the 26th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The season consisted of 13 rallies. Tommi Mäkinen won his third consecutive drivers' world championship driving for Mitsubishi, ahead of Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae. The season ended in dramatic fashion when Carlos Sainz's Corolla WRC stopped approximately 300 metres from the finishing line in the final stage at Margam due to mechanical failure, thus surrendering his fourth place on the rally and handing the title to Mäkinen. The decals weren't fun without setting solution. WIP: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92154 Edited February 7, 2015 by fitforbattle
afx Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Nice work. I built this kit a few years back. It goes together like a dream. The decals are challenging but they do work.
Modelmikey Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Nice clean build, the subtle weathering adds a lot.
Mike 1017 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Great looking Rally Car. My 93/94 Toyota Celica {same livery} is getting decaled today.Hope mine looks as good yours
Bill Eh? Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Looks great! Tamiya? Hasegawa? Outstanding work on what must have been a decal challenge.
fitforbattle Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks boys. Decals were frustrating without setting solution but obviously doable. Some wrinklage but minor considering the age of the decals and for just using lukewarm water. Looks great! Tamiya? Hasegawa? Outstanding work on what must have been a decal challenge. Tamiya.
Helix Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Nicely done, yes I remember that WRC year, Carlos was a shattered man!
