WIP : Ford Focus RS MK1

This is a mix of the Revell GmbH WRC car and the Revell SVT Focus. Tamiya Mica Blue TS-50 with a Testor's clear(first time use). I had to make the air dam opening smaller to resemble a road going MK1 RS. Had to add fuel filler cap, and the interior is from the SVT with scratch built RS seats. If you are into the current Euro Ford scene you might know of my inspiration for this build it is Joe Nutter's MK1 RS (http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21941). His car blends a track day car with the "stance" culture. He works at MSport himself so the car is definitely function > form, but it is the little touches he gave it to fit into the new scene. I need to get the hellaflush decals from model Scientists because I want to make sure the model blends the same function and form, if anyone has the decals I will take them off your hands. Questions, comments, criticisims very welcome.
