Are you going to sand off the front lip of the RS500 to achieve the correct front valance? Looking at the rally cars which are regular Cosworths it seems there are a few things that need to be corrected such as ride height, removing the air jacks etc etc. Thankfully the lower rear spoiler is a seperate part on the RS500 so it can be omitted. Should be fun though!

That is a transkit from Renaissance. All parts you need to modify are included in resin. Extra seat, correct wheels, new fuel tank, decals and piece that fills up the space in the bumper. So it should be available on-line.

One in this livery would look good too.

I like that one, there is also a similar one sponsored by OXO, in fact there are a set of decals for that one on eBay right now!

Is that car from the 89 Bathurst?

Hi,

nice model.
Why didn´t you put some wires in the interior?
The rear spoiler appears in the last picture as it is not fixed tight to the sides of the window, maybe you can press it a little more in position.

Nice finish!!

Basically I decided on box stock for now as I have been away from modelling for quite a while and was concentrating primarily on just getting everything right as opposed to modifying anything too much.

Not sure what the deal with the spoiler is, I may detach and re-attach as it certainly isn't perfect. It doesn't look anywhere near as bad in the flesh though.

I have another of these to build so will definitely take care of these types of issues with that one.

They certainly were the days. With the exception of WRC I don't enjoy todays motorsports anywhere near as much as I did back then..
