Oke Guys, my first wip on this forum. ;D
I`ve been working on this car for a little while now. I`m using profil 24` belga RAC version and with some adjustments it should become the Ypres version.
First job, making sure that chassis, body and dashboard fit. That was not a big problem be course the body`s of the re-released metro are in far better condition than the early ones. After body and chassis fitted i painted the chassis white(TS-26).
I bought a AB last year but somehow i still get better results using the tamiya spray cans.
After the paint was dry i made the roll cage, using the original one(in white metal) and customized it to a better fit
As you can see i started on the interior. Not much yet and i`m planning to put some more details on there.
For further detailing i`m gonna use this stuff
Second job are the wheels. I sanded them down and replaced the original wheel nuts by metal ones.
If started on the body recently. Biggest concern was that the resin is very thin on some places so i had to bring on a layer of putty on the inside so i was able to scratch out the panel lines
And this is where I'm at now
Most difficult so far one this build where the decals. First it was not that easy to find all the necessary pics to do the decals but with the help of some rally friends i got everything i needed. Second problem was drowning them. So i learned to work whit coral draw with the following result
Next job is the interior and after that i`m gonna start on the engine. This is gonna be a long build course this is what i hope the final result will look like
