Progress: Skoda Fabia WRC from REJI

WOW! That is soooo nice:) The wheels look soo nice:) Did you paint the taillight and headlight housings with Alclad II Chrome or BMF?

Thank you guys for your support ;).
Light housings are BMF indeed.
I hope to finish it soon and stop bothering :D

Last update, interior allmost done, still need to put steering wheel, attach seatbelts to cage, paint few things and slightly reposition front beams of roll cage. Body still needs some work but nothing seriouse.

Very nice, I like the interior details. Don't forget to remove the mould lines from the tyres or drill out the holes in the panel at the top of the rear side windows.

Incredible...!!!

In a few time its finished...

Thanks guys ;)
M4tt83 the tyres were disaster, full of flash, I have to redo them a bit but this mold line is so deep that I won't be able to remove it completly. As for the side window vents they are not holes but only a thin ring on the outer part of the hole is vent (but this would be very hard to replicate as it should be.

Hi Sasa,

great progress on the interior.

Hope to see the finished model soon.

What did you use for the ties that keep the wire on the rollcage?

What did you use for the ties that keep the wire on the rollcage?
Hi Matt, those are cooper wires from isolator painted in black (those thin ones from for example from speaker wire)

Thanks a lot Sasa! Such a great idea, I had not thought about it. Did you paint them before attacking them or afterwards?

This is a top quality build, the detail is amazing. Great job.

This model is worth the paint troubles you went through, a true masterpiece!

I envy you!

Thanks guys, I am red like crab now :D
Matt I took vire cleaned isolator and I had only bear wires left, separated them one from the others and just sprayed them with matt black. The problem is when you bend them the paint will peal a bit, but you can easily touch up that joint affterwards.

Looking very great so far. High details on the interior

Ive been following this one and considering what you had to start with..... this is unbelievable. thanks for the inspiration!

I did say no more updates but.... :biggrin: this will not be visiable affter assembly.
Steering wheel and dashboard now compleated (still considering slight blackwash on those red parts)

Hi Sasa,

it is looking better and better. Interior is great, the 2 coolers in the front look good.

It is getting close now, interior is finnaly done and still need to put few decals and PE parts on body (and light covers of course) and then for the finnal waxing and it is done (finnaly).

Thanks for watching ;)

Sasa, that really is one awesome build! Now it's complete and you can reflect back on it would you say you enjoyed building it?

I have to say my jaw dislocated on sight of your dashboard - those switches! How in hell did you recreate those in such small scale?

It's easy to forget when looking at this completed build that it is infact a resin kit. If I had a hat I would take it off to you!

So, what's next?

Thank you all for watching and comments, kit is done still need to make the promised full description and the full list with pictures and I promise it on Monday till then just a little teaser.
