This is just the first one of a bunch of 1/24 T16s that I have currently started to build, one by one.

I wanted to begin with the 1984 Tour de Corse #4 car, piloted by Vatanen / Harryman, as this was Peugeot's very first appearance in Group B rallying.

However, the Tamiya kit includes parts and decals for the 1985 Monte Carlo or Acropolis versions, so I had to improvise in order to replicate some of the differences on this earlier car. Other than some ofthe painting, decals and custom-made parts, it's OOB.

Build thread here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1144676), however it's rather straightforward :tongue:

Nice model! I'd only add some panel lines.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware of that panel lining technique, but I've seen your white Audi quattro and it really makes a difference.
However, I think I'll go for grey, not black on white cars.

I have ordered some 'gundam markers', I suppose they are suitable for the task?

I guess you were right about the panel lining.
I tried a grey gundam marker and I think it worked out fairly well.

The driver's door (which is fixed) now looks similar to the rear hatch (which is removable).

I used this model as background scenery in some photography during another recent 205 build (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1145163):
