Tamiya Volvo 850 Wagon BTCC

This is the kit that I really enjoyed making. Here are some in-progress pictures followed by the pics of the finished thing. All I can say is that the decals took days (literaly) to apply but it was worth it. Enjoy.

Excellent looking kit, by the way! Your photography makes them really stand out!

Blimey, I turn my head and Alex is finishing models!!!:eek:

Nice to see the work Alex, looking good and seeing progress from those old model melting days!!!

Wow great work.The last 2 pics look like real cars.

Doesn't it make you feel good when all that time spent on decals pays off in the end?
Great job ales!! :cool:

I dont think poor old Alex will every be allowed to live that down
:p :p :p :p :p :p

Another great job Alex.
Don't know why but never really wanted this one to be in my collection.
Had it many times in my hands but opted for other models.
Maybe I change my mind.
Nice work with the decals. They look perfect.

I love it expecially the last 2 picture.. I thought it was the real one...
On closer looks, I know then it is not.. loL!
Great Photography!

Hey I like th interior but I was wondering if that seat and shifter came w/ the model or did u buy them.

The kit has been built box stock, so nothing has been added

sorry for resurecting this old thread.

i was aeal big fan of the 850 wagon when it was racing, and id love to build one myself...

excellent job alex as usual

Excellent work!
