Now I don't know for sure, but it appears to me quite evident that you used flash on your camera when taking these photos...don't use flash! Try to take some outdoor shots of it when the sun's out .

From what I can see, the red looks pretty spot on to the 1:1. I'm not sure why you've placed the windscreen wiper like that though, I think it would look better down, plus it should help with it not sticking off of the windscreen. Are you missing the front-left brake calliper? Must've been a serious crash...leaving the bodywork intact ! I see a few differences between the real and your model, but it looks like it was a fun build. Interior looks quite good too.

thanks for comments.....the wiper is a mistake.....front caliper is too!! it must have fallen off..i never even noticed...this is perhaps my best model after a multidecade hiatus i just got back into things last july..it was a fun build i used tamiyas detail set.My first use of photoetch
Notice that the passenger seat are decals seatbelts..the driver side are part of the detail set and you can barely see them...and yes i used a flash but i wont next time i assure you or at least ill try

I wanted to say that the passenger seatbelts looked good from that photo but then I realised they sat too perfectly to be fabric+PE. Looking forward to seeing what more you produce.

I think you did a wonderful job with the kit! I didn't notice the caliper until I read the other posts. Your paint and detail looks spot on!

One thing I noticed is the kit lets you see the interior through the wheel wells. On the older rally kits the wheel wells are covered. I wish Tamiya would have did a little better job in that area.
