Here's yet another Peugeot 206WRC project for the forum. This time it's the one driven by Timo Salonen (1985 world rally champion) in Neste Rally Finland in 2002.
Base kit is the original 206WRC Tour de Corse from Tamiya. Decals are from Renaissance and I'm going to use some detailparts from S27 sets.
Renaissance says that you can use their wheel set for gravel wheels, but their set (resin copy from Hasegawa wheels) has only four bolt hubs and 206 has five bolts... I decided to use RallyRaider's method and drill of the hubs from Hasegawa wheels and replace them with Tamiya hubs.
The front bumper panellines needed a little rescribing and filling to present correct ones for this car.
I detailed underbody by adding heat insulation to exhaust pipe and central tunnel. The exhaust pipe looks a bit too bright still, but I'm going to give it a little yellow heat staining in places and perhaps a coat of satin clear.
And finally some interior parts. Not much to tell about these, just some basic detailing was added.
Next on the to do -list are gravel shields for the body sides (I've started them a bit already, I'm using thin plastic film used with overhead projectors to do these).
Don't hold your breath while waiting for me to finish this as I can't be sure how long my inspiration will stay high
I'll update this thread when I get something done...
