WOW!!
Top notch work....You my friend have talent by the truck-load.

"second place" ?!? :yikes:
What could have been better than this...?? :eek7:

Incredible work man, one of the best WRC model I've ever seen :thumbsup:
opened models are not so common but are sometimes visible here and there, but full opened and engine detailed ones are really rar and yours is simply awesome !!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Wow man! That build is awesome! Scratch built engine and details, I'd say You got some skills! And second place, the competition must have been tough!

Impressive build, very well done!!

Excellent build, the details on this are exceptional. Great work!

:1: Great build. :thumbsup:

wow

excellent job

Whoehoew! I found something to critize: sand that seam on the spare tire... And that is about the only bad thing I can say.

Superb model...

Hi,

really a great job with all these modifications.

(only one i was able to finish in 2007 :( )

I have completed the last year also only 2. And your model is lavishly than my both together :thumbsup:.

great job. Nice build, but why no try a little weathering. Use some mud?

thanks guys for the kind words :) hopefully i'll have more time to do more models this year :smile:

Very sharp, great build.

Very impressive build.
Especially the engine and interior. great detail.

Maybe a stuid question but is the engine scratchbuild, or does this WRC kit actually have an engine ?

If your kits are all up to this standard, I'd love to see more of them !!!
