luckily this project doesn't need much painting besides the trunk
below are some WIP I would like to share with you all and looking forward to your comments
first I applied the decals, and then gave a long break since was in need of some parts... so, it was sitting on the bench for a long while.
the trunk was in two colors. upper part in red and the lower part with Repsol livery and colors.
but I feel like the decals won't do the justice. so I decided to paint the red part and white color as a base for the lower part where Repsol decals have to sit...
and here is the result of the trunk
after all, I gave a layer of clear coat.
next step was to find similar gravel wheels and need tires. so, I used wheels from a Sierra Cosworth with gravel tires coming from a Peugeot 206 WRC.
I also fixed the rear quarter of the exhaust to have a correct look. I have also painted the whole exhaust system into light gun metal. but no photos at the moment.
this is wip of the exhaust...
and last step was to buy a donor mitsubishi wrc for the interior and dashboard parts...
I am hoping to finish the model soon...
here is a quick mock up to give you idea guys..
ok guys!
finished the model last night and took some photos early in the morning, was lucky it was a nice sunny morning in here
so, here are the photos. hope you guys like it.
