VERY precise work Luca, it's looking very good so far.

You are making a kit to sell, yes? I hope so because this is superb Gp B car.

Have you seen www.MAT.fi (http://www.MAT.fi) ? These guys have totally rebuilt 2 of these cars and hundreds of photos are detailed of the builds. These guys have my dream job!

thanks so much ... I can confirm that the kit will be produced ...
I'm working hard to complete all the parts that make it up ..
that there will be many ....:wink:

che sia il mitico luca cavikki dei trattorini?. Ciao mitico, son paolo, lovegt, ci siam conosciuti a novegro.Si parlava di trattorini agricoli... eheh.

wellcome to AF Luca. your skill is incredible, so happy u will share it with us also inside here.
Nevermind about english. guys here are real kindly with all us makkaroni talking ;)

Work is real nice, and it is just the start (for all followers here, luca is the masterman of many resin kits on the market. Nice ones.)

Luca Cavicci...? (sorry if I don't spell correctly your name)
You were part of ScuderiaItaliaLab adventure, right ? prototypist for some italian brands ?
what a pleasure and honnor to have you here !

Would the S1 design for the brand some day take life ? that one and the celica would be two killing kits for rally fans !!

Amazing job! Do you plan to make copies?

This is looking good!!

I have one of the Sakatsu kits, but this one is looking to be better! The open trunk and hood suggests engine??? :naughty:

Can I reserve one now?:lol:

Paolo..certo che ricordo..:)
thanks to everyone for their interest in this work ..
yes .. or I did and I'm part of the adventure "scuderia italia" .. unfortunately the commitments are many and for now we break ..
I wanted to say that it is my honor to be here among so many good modelers ..
this model will be produced with opening front and rear ..
a beautiful audi S1 or a delta S4
are in my thoughts .. when time permits
I will keep you updated with photos of the work
see you soon

Luca

Absolutely perfect work !! :thumbsup:
Very exciting to see this highly wanted Gr. B car kit coming !!

very,very beautifull built

I am following this wip, because I think a beautiful car in the Gr. B. I hope you you make a kit to put it on sale

Good evening .. thanks for the compliments
I try to make a best possible model
I heard about the model used .. it was made ​​by a model Japanese ..
is part of the "W.R.C. we are modelers community"
all for now
soon with new updates

Luca

I firmly believe that when this model is finished, it HAS to be displayed in a science and technology museum!

Can't wait for the final outcome!

I drive a Toyota, and for me Toyota is definitely #1!

I have been waiting for a model of this car for quite a while now, hopefully, you will achieve a great looking kit. As far as I can see your work is top quality!

Sakatsu's model is now impossible to find, and much simpler then your's.

Keep up the good work!:smokin:

Beautiful work..!!! I would love to have a kit of this car, it's one of my favourite cars from the Group B era, simply stunning..!! Keep up the good work my friend, look forward to seeing more of this..

Good evening guys
thank you for your enthusiasm .... I try to do a good job:tongue:
new updates very soon ..
I have to build everything from scratch!
see you soon

Luca

Luca, it is absolutely brilliant car you are producing and a great GpB rally car. It's great to see these fantastic models coming on to the market from independant small manufacturers. I think rallying has lost it's way and unfortunately the support of major manufacturers so it's great to create models of these cars that were built to race and were so exciting to watch in the flesh.

I'm sure you will have a great demand for this model, please put me on the first list!

Best regards
Kaj

Good evening guys ... any update ..
this is the frame of the celica ..
is completely built in evergreen
is still to be completed but we are in good condition ..:)
soon with more updates ..

impressive work, already great looking model promissing a lot of details !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I love it !! :icon16:

Luca, do you line up everything with a jig? It's looking very impressive?

How about the wheels?

very great work,i love it

incredible work,Luca!
So the original frame in the kit could not be used like a base..
It's so wrong?

Very very good work,yet compliments!

good evening .... I have built up many references to align all the pieces .. it was complex but it served:smile:
for the wheels I have no problem .. I'll version asphalt and
Safari version .. the only problem is the tires safari ..
I have to see how to solve the problem ..
thanks for visiting
soon new updates

This is a great time to be a Group B rally car modeller.... 240RS, Rx7, Celica.....

Does it get any better than this ???

Hmm... Oh yes, Peugeot 205 T16 Evo2 :grinyes: :grinyes: :grinyes:


It's really exciting to see these cars being built by modelers/builders while kit brands totaly ignore them... :sly:

I can only agree ! And I would kill for such nice Vauxhall Chevette, Ascona and Manta 400 kits (Gass and Narton kits are so-so, to say the least...) :smile:

Good evening guys ... there are some Gr.B
that deserve to be done right .. but in my case is the one who commissioned the model that decides the subject ....

for Chris
sometimes some models are born bad ..
other times you have to do according to customer's requests:rolleyes:

Now back to the celica .... then in the future we will see ..:)
