toyota celica gr.B

Hello guys ...
I would like some help if possible
we have finished drawing all the decals but there remains a doubt about the number plate of the version "ivory coast" Years 85/86 ..
there is a symbol that we do not understand ..:rolleyes:
if any of you have a few pictures where you can clearly see I would be a great pleasure

thanks to all

Luca

1986 Logos on the doors aren't those from the plates above which must be 1985 door plate, but I can't tell what it is exactly, because 1985 and 1986 door plates are different.

here is a 1986 pic

I created a template on which to place the parts of the grid goes ... then inserted into the hood and glued ...

Beautiful work with the decal Luca

Good evening guys
make so many versions was challenging for me... but I think it's worth it
version marlboro has competed in the championship Middle East
the version rac is 84 ... I was wrong to write:biggrin:
for orders I think I'm ready the second week of November
I have to finish assembling the kit
decide for some details and are ready
the important thing is that I now have all the material for the kit!
thanks for your support

see you soon with new updates

Luca

Awesome Luca. Can't wait to see the completed kit.

What kind of ball park cost will the kit be and when do you think orders can be placed?

Excellent work!!!!

Salut, en Anglais ça ira mieux, nous sommes sur un forum anglophone ! :wink:


"Hi Luca, I'm new on the forum I'd like to know where and when we'll be able to order this model because she's really great, I already built the Clio Maxi and really would like to have this one too"

Hello Madric
As soon as the kit will be ready to write it in this wip ..
we go to the body ..
missing some decal ... during the installation I noticed some errors in size ..
We are already running a sheet with the correct ..

Tomorrow try the safari decal :wink:

see you soon

Luca

Wow, that looks great..!! Initially I thought I only really liked the red/white TTE version and I must admit it's still my personal favourite, however the more I see it, the more that Marlboro version looks just so good..!!
I don't know what it is about the shape of this car but from any angle it looks so cool. Has to be one of my all time favourite rally cars of the Group 'B' era..

Luca, will you supply templates to paint the red before applying the black lines around ?
How did you process yourself to paint the red at correct sizes to match the black lines decals ?

Good evening guys ...

Today I tried the decal safari .. all right .....
now for the next steps with 2K wait the decal corrective ...
