COMPLETED! Ford Focus RS WRC

Well, I started this project in september, but only now I was able to finish it (not quite: 1 decal, antennas and waxing - on order - still left to do).
It's the Tamiya 1/24 Performance Blue Ford Focus RS WRC 02 (uff..).
I thought the original recomended colour (TS-51) was too dark, so I decided on a different approach: started with grey primer, then 2 coats of KEEN dark blue, 2 mist and 2 wet coats of TS-50 Mica Blue. I think it came out closer to the original..(opinions may vary...:D)
Anyway, today I got hand on a digital camera of a friend of mine, so I took some pics.
It's my 3rd model ever, so....bear with me :rolleyes:
Any comments, good or bad, are very welcome.

PS - Sorry about the bad pics...I had to resize them in order to use AF gallery...:rolleyes:

Excellent Work Pedro!!!!!!!!!!!!!:d

it looks really good, especially only being your third model. just one thing i did notice that is easily fixable, the front left tire is tilting inward. you can kinda see it in the 2nd to last pic and more obvious in the last. but it maybe have been that you just set the car down wrong or something. but other than that, like i said, it's immaculate!

I see only red X's....
Does everyone else see the images?

Pics aren't working for me :(

Nice and clean work! I like it very much!

Hey, I see pics! Nice effort there Pedro. Your blue mix looks right on the money.

Got any interior shots?

Thanks for all the comments guys.
(...)Your blue mix looks right on the money.
The pics don't really show how nice the colour really is. It's actually a darker shade of blue..but hey! :D
Got any interior shots?
Well, yeah. This was just a test shot, it's the only one I got. I don't own a digicam, so....this will have to do :rolleyes:
I know, I know, the windows are very dirty..with white glue(!) Still have to clean that...just waiting for the package with wax to arrive.
