Got this today. Made by Hasegawa. I'm really surprised with the parts this car has. Photoetched parts, seat belt material(and mudflap). Here are just a few pics.
This is going to be my first rally car and I might even try my hand at weathering it a little bit. More pics to come

Good luck with the build, you should enjoy it. Hasegawa provide lots of extra goodies to detail things up nicely. I hope they release some more rally kits soon, been a while since their last one.
My opinion: don't do a custom, build it like the real car, it is a champion afterall!
I just went out to primer it and I noticed all my paints and 2 cans of primer are gone. My mother doesnt know where they are either. Looks like this might be a longer project than I had figured it to be.
Update, got the suspension onto the chassis. Since I dont have the proper paints, I lighty used some testors plastic cement to put the drivetrain and under brush guard on.
