Looks simply great Micha :thumbsup:

I love the missing light on the back with the wires sticking out LOL

Only thing that doesn't totally get my vote is the tires: the mud splashes on the sides, the way they stand on top of the mud and the the tire tracks missing in the mud under and behind the car. Very picky of me, I know :D

This is one of my favourite cars! Very nice weathering and also the dents.
Good attention to details too :)

Excellent! Looks really convincing, how did you do the dents? Did you heat the plastic?

Incredibly realistic.

Congratulations on this greatly executed build.
And hats off to you for having the guts to "dirt-up" such a beautiful model like this.

Very nice! Love the attention to details like the wires sticking out at the rear :-) The dented bodywork is really impressive. Well done!

Looks excellent of course. The great base really brings out the details of all the weathering and damage of the car. I really like the wipers you used. Great attention to detail everywhere you look on this beauty.

Excellent finish! Damage is very realistic. I went to the Nissan motorsports festival and saw the 240Z safari car and it has been kept just as it finished the rally. Damage and scrapes and all...

Fantastic model, one I want to build for sure!
