Completed: Toyota Corolla WRC

This model had a couple of firsts for me.
1. First ever Rally model
2. First time using Photo Etching
Other than that, this model was a total learning experience. I used a few things learned from some message boards. I tried some things I wanted to try but haven't, with good and bad results. Like I said a total learning experience and I loved every minute of it.
This is the Hasagawa 1/24 Toyota Corolla WRC Tien Sport "1998 Asia-Pacific Rally Champion".
The car was fun to build. Only problems came with a few of the instructions that weren't clear. Trial and error was able to overcome that. Windows didn't quite fit right either. The pe part of the car took forever as I was learning. Again, fun build and this will not be the last time I do a WRC car. I have a scooby to start eventually. Here's the pic:

Very nice... Any pics of the process?

Excellent results!! :)

I do, but this is just really a test model for some new stuff I wanted o try so their really isn't much to look at. Your basic curbside.
Thanks!

As requested, here are a few more pictures of the car. Some progress shots as well as a rear finished view. Like I said, this was mainly a test bed for some stuff I hadn't tried before. Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate them.
Now on to the photos:

I would like to say that you'll notice one seat has two shoulder belts, while the other has 4 belts. This is what happens to a rookie using PE for the first time. Stuff breaks or flys through the air and is never to be found again! :lol2:
Thanks for the look guys
