Hello again from Greece...
After California, I manage to finish a very long project, from me...

The model is Ferrari 308GTB Gr.4 Rally, drives by J. C. Andruet Biche. This No.4 car wins 1982 Tour de France, in 8th of May (same day which Gilles Villeneuve died in Zolder!!!!)
I use the Gunze kit and transform, almost, all the parts.
Some wip progress, you can found here : http://scalewheels-gr.com/index.cgi?...ead=569&page=1



Finally, I weathering the model to study this technique :






Hope you like it...
PS. A BIG THANKS goes to roman, for burrago decals and the advice, were I found decals for the car... Of course, I buy his stunning 308 to make the red-blue version...

With best regards
George

A lot of work but a great impressive result and model, I love it !
Could you tell the non greek speakers like me why you post a pic of the Celica, is it because you used the light pod from this kit...?

Thanks for this great feedback, my friend... I ;m more than happy for this, because, for sure I 'm not a rally expert ....
The celica kit is a present from a friend. He want only the decals and body, so I took the rest
From celica, I use light pod, seats and a part from roll bar. I planed to use and the suspension, but this requires more work than I thought, so I cancel it...
Thanks again...

Even though i´m a fan of wheathered model cars, it would have been a real challenge for me in this case. Your clean 308 is already looking sooo nice!

Thanks for your good words... It's my second attempt to make a weathered model... Only took my 1 hour and of course I 'm not expert in this... In next time I try to do better...

George, thanks for the explanation.
You say you're not a rally expert (that could be discussed and you could be called so now seeing this one !! ) but if so you prove there's no need to be a rally expert to build a rally masterpiece !!
