A nice little build only problem was with the decals, even following advice from Dougie! to use Very Hot water still managed to damage one of the door decals .

Was going to leave it as a Clean car but after a lot of thought I decided to go for the Rallied look hope you like the result. .

It looks like a great wee build, I hope my info didn't make it worse did you get some success? They look better than some of my older ones Came out though


I like the weathering as well, seems nicely done.


good job over all and personally I like the rallied look better on this than the clean look.

Thanks Dougie, no your info did not make it worse, in fact without your help it would have been a disaster on the door decals .


Did not want to be to heavy with the weathering as checking photos of the real car from below the window line it is completely cover in muck LOL.

Oh wow, that is excellent Jono. Nice work all round there, from the body paint work to the weathering. I especially like the chrome on the light surrounds and bumpers.

Thanks Joe, the Bumpers, Head & Spotlights came Chromed. The chrome for tail lights & front indicators were hand painted

I have heard from the guys here that there is a microscale decal repair or fixer that can help with old decals. I have never tried it and am interested in it myself. Having just bought a coupe of older models I may invest in some. I forgot about suggesting that as well mate as I haven't used it. Sorry

Thanks for the info Doug, let me know if you do use it as some of the models ive bought on ebay are old ones.


No need to be sorry mate .
