Progress: Skoda Fabia WRC from REJI

[sjelic]

Kit is resin one with PE in 1/24 from Czech company Reji, this one will have a lot of schratch build stuff because it has rather small number of parts, no engine or chasis details so all that is left is interior and body. General fittment is good but it need a lot of cleaning and test fitting (what is normal for resin). Parts are washed and cleaned. Body is primed with Tamyia primer (spray) and will be painted with automotive colours (dupli color to be specific). Since car has 4 colour scheme and no decals for that purpose it will be a nightmare for masking and painting.



Still have to clean the body a bit before first coats of colour.
Interior was painted two times and it didn't came out good so this will be third try. Schratch builded those foot bells and they will receive full CF treatment. Hope you like it.

Cool project of a nice little rally car. The first Skoda on AF modelforum?

I will follow your thread with great interest.
Good luck with painting the body, it will be a challenge

I think the body looks really good Sasa, have you detailed it yourself or is it original? Seems like a cool project and I'm looking forward to follow that paint job.
best regards

Body is like it came, I have just rescribed all of the panel lines because they were shalow and reworked front hood intakes, nothing major just a lot of cleaning.

Yummy, body looks very crisp. I have been considering one of these Reji kits for a while so I will be watching this thread with interest.

Is there a good place to buy Reji complete kits online for the US?

[sjelic]

Yes of course www.scaleracecars.com, David will have this one soon and also has some other Reji kits on stock. Check it out

Hi Sasa,

yesterday I thought about starting this kit (I have mine since 4 weeks). But then I saw that I have to strengthen the window trim (it is not well done) and set it aside.

Now I will see your progress before I start with my kit.

What colours do you use for green and black?

Woww, a Fabia. I didn't even know there was a Fabia ever produced. Octavia , yes, but Fabia but, I admit, I'm not too much into motorsports

Interesting project, I'll follow it carefully.

[Spitfire7]

Nice to see this one in progress, just wish this car was produced in plastic.

[RallyRaider]

Wow, this will be good.

Where do you guys buy these resin kits? I have seen them a few places, but $100+ is just too much to pay for a single kit. Are they available for like, 2/3 that anywhere?

[Hiroboy]

That is looking very nice, look forward to watching the build

[sjelic]

Thank you guys
Micha the trim is not bad at all if you take a look at the real car there isn't any trim exept on the bottom of the side windows. Other trims are very thin on the real thing so painting windows will do the trick, just few hints roll cage needs a lot of work because it has just half pipes that are needed, be carefull at those front intakes on the hood, i have shaved one because it looked like resin garbage but in fact it wasn't, so I had to do it again with putty, other things you will see in this progress, I will point out things that should be taken care of.
Thank you all once again for support.
Edit: Oh and Micha I will give you the codes of Dupli color sprays I bought for this one on Friday
