Having owned a couple of MK2's, I'm looking forward to seeing this built.
 
did that a few years back.............main prob i found was that the wheels go into the arches a bit too much, look a little lost and of course the slick tyres


look forward to seeing how you progress with it


this is another kit i wish revell would reissue

Hi Paul, yes the Slick tyres are not right for a rally car should be the chunky tyres on this.


Belkits are bringing out Timo Makinens RAC RALLY Winning Mk.1 RS1600 later this year :) :).

Having won a couple of trophies on Road Rallies & walking miles into a forest in the dead of night to watch rally cars back in the 70s I know there is only 2 kinds of rally cars...


Shiny or covered in so much Mud you cannot tell the colour of the car, or read the sponsors decals... :D :D.


Ive not decided yet which way to go LOL.
