Thanks for the tip :)

I prepared and applied primer on all pieces

Very nice start. As already mentioned the large green decals are a pain to attach without wrinkling. I've tried two attempts with this kit and wasn't happy with the result. Take your time with them..

Undercarriage is done:

Nice and clean work !

I really like to assemble WRC models !

I have built this Kit and the rear bumper green decals are a right pain to get a decent finish. I think painting them with Tamiya Park Green X-3 and then cutting the decals smaller and final clear coat would get the best results.

It's a fantastic looking kit when complete and one the most colourful WRC liveries.

Looks awesome so far!

Another quick update

Everything looks great! Keep up the good work!

Sensational work.

I'm lost for words on this!!

I also have the kit but will be going down the "street tuned" look.

How on earth did you do the detail on the dashboard? Looks fantastic!

very nice and very clean build up. a pleasure to see.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Thankyou sir, keep the updates coming!

Some friends warned me about the green decals on the rear bumper, so I decided to paint. The difficult part was to mix the green paints and achieve the correct tone.

Perfect work, the masking of the green is excellent and really worth doing..

I'm happy to see that you painted it instead using the decals. And the result is perfect: you have done a good job!!

This is looking excellent. Another great WRC subject.

Amazing masking job. You make it look very simple.
The colour is spot on too.

This build is progressing very nicely.

Body polished and panel lines marked.
