Alpine Renault A110 Rally Monte Carlo '71 #28, Tamiya, 1/24

[Nosfer]

It's my first WIP on AF
I will build all-open model of the car, that won Monte-Carlo rally in 1971.

Here is this car:





It's beautiful!!! Isn't it?



So let's start!

[klutz_100]

I love this car and it looks like you are off to a very interesting start! Keep the updates coming please

[rallymaster]

Great start over an interesting fully opened model project I'll be watching closely !

[Nosfer]

Here is weekend update!
Looking at the photos of real car, I found, that Tamiya KIT is a stock car 1973 with another weels and racing decals.

So, let's start modificatins:
Front:




preparation to setting of door loops


Open door will looks like this:


safety framework



And in the end - correct seats




Thank you for looking our chanal

Very nice start, excellent modifications so far...

[jano11]

Wow, nice start!
Looking forward to see more mods on this one.

[Seamus McRae]

Wow. A couple of things:
1 how did you work out the front guard/undertray needs that mod? I have most of those photos from my rally books but I haven't seen anything that shows that part
2 what did you use on the seats? It looks like some sort of plastic putty car body repairers use (we call it bog here in Australia)

Great start BTW. Want to see how this turns out. Is this a one-off or do you plan to do any others? Could be a long prod'n line if there are others waiting...

2 Seamus McRae:
Here, on this photos, we can see correct shape of the front undertray.
There is some more mistaces in Tamiya KIT. about it I will say later.

Unfortunately, I have only one KIT oh this beautiful car
But sometime in the future, I want to build another one in stock.


And some qestions to all
If someone have photos or information about '71 Monte-Carlo rally version, you could help me in my build.
I dont know, what color was the seat belts in that car :'(

If you have a few (a few hundreds ?? ) hours to spend, you may find here answers to all your questions !

I'm still at the page 29 for the moment
but I don't download all the pics, I'm lokking for precise informations/pictures. Nevertheless I've already seen 71 MC pics...



Very nice start on you build, I never noticed the front modifications to be done...

Thanks!
That's an impressive source for Alpine A110 fans. I can't imagine how did I miss that thread when I searched the forum-auto.com last year.

[rallymaster]

Not surprising to me that you miss it, FA is a truly huge gold mine !!
I discover something almost each time I take a look at it...
and most of the time I come there through google images search, so sometimes in threads I haven't inevitably been in before...
I think this simply is the biggest source of the Web concerning rallye pictures.

Great start!! I am glad you are doing a full detail model!

This is one of my favorite cars, so I will be watching!!
