    Toyota Corolla WRC, Revell 1/24

    my next build is for a 'RACE' GB somewhere else

    Revells Toyota Corolla WRC as driven by Carlos Sainz when he won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1998, he came second in the championship that year

    sprue shots

    will be interesting as the decal sheet has a lttle bit of damp damage....we shall see

    i might just weather this up with a mud wash at the end, just for the fun of it
    Per Ardua

    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

        Looks a great kit Paul, and the Castrol scheme always looked really cool , whichever car it was on! I reckon you should be ok with the decals , they dont look damaged ,just a little watermarked on the backing sheet ,they should perform as normal. cheers tony

          1998 was one of the best calenders for wrc in my opinion. Toyota should have gained better time but a few little slip ups and some major spawn from tommi m gave us the end result, bit of a bummer cos I was quite the toyota fan back then, and was quite exited that they were planning entry into F1 in the early 2000's.

          Anyway looks like a nice kit, and I'm sure you'll do a great job as usual, I wouldn't like to attempt those decals though, I'd probably mess up big time

          Being even more geeky ... I think the bottom two piccies are from the catalunya stage when castrol pumped a load more money in ... the extra logos are either side of the front grill.

              more than likely,.....the white squares for the door numbers are different too. the rules of the GB that this is for state that a pic or two of the real car need to be included to prove that it did exist, they are all Sainz in #5 tho

                And he was one hell of a driver eh

                Anyway let me stop interrupting you and let you get on, looking forward to seeing this come together.

                Will we be seeing a Tom's supra in the future?

                      Oh yes ... THE best looking car by far in my opinion.

                        Sorry Sir, I would have to disagree with you on this, for me, it would have to be 1981 with the introduction of the Audi Quattro...

                        Hi Tony,

                        Looking forward to watching this...

                          id agree there,.....Quattro and Stratos......glorious noise!





                          and i nearly did an Alitalia Stratos for this GB instead of the Corolla

                            so why produce a really nicely moulded kit (ive actually struggled to find parting lines on the body shell) then do something stupid like this........

                            for the grilles for the rad and bonnet you are supposed to take the relevant bit from the decal sheet and just glue it in!!..............i think i can do better than that

                            ive had some stainless steel woven mesh for ages............found in one of those PoundLand shops........was supposed to be a 'saucepan splashguard'.....basically a bit of mesh with a handle! lol a quid got enough to last for years

                            was tricky cutting it out to the right shape and when the ca is dry i want to give it a coat of primer, then i will know if it looks ok or not. it not i have some nylon mesh left over from a bike kit to try

                            also got the roll cage put together, just needs a few joints tidying up
