1/24 Belkits Ford Fiesta S2000 H. Solberg
Hi guys,
Another build finished this week. I've been doing a dual build together with the Honda RS1000. This is the Henning Solberg version that drove the 2011 Monte Carlo Rally. Decals are from Renaissance. It's a pretty good kit, but it has some fitting issues. The rollcage doesn't fit and need some modifications. The windows don't fit inside. It's a diecast system and it's not good. I cut the windows in 6 pieces and had to modify them to fit well. I also sanded and polished the rear window, because it was not seethru. For paint i used ZP Expert Orange and Motip colors(black & white) for the interior and window trimmings. The metallic colors where Tamiya Acrylics. I used some aftermarket antennas and PE bolts to make the model more realistic. I'm pretty happy with the result although there is always room for improvment. Here are some pics:
Best regards,
Lesley
