looks promising (believe you're the first here to post a 2005 scooby), will you be adding detail, or build it oob?

I have just started mine too! Looks like a nice kit despite some errors to detail between the real car and kitset.
However its Blue, sounds good and is driven by none other then Petter Solberg so it has to be good!

Look forward to seeing more progress!

By the way, did your wheels have excess paint in them? on the struts that link the hub region and outer rim, there were runs of paint, i had to scretch them off, sand and repaint. What condition were your rims in?

Im using photo etch brakes on my one so I think that the brakes have long ventilation indentations on them from memory. This might change between Tarmac and gravel rallies though in real life.
