Hello guys!

After 3 years of work (sure with long interruptions..) I've finished this car.
I really enjoyed the build, the final result is not 100%, but I like how the car looks, and hope you too.

And the most important: Thank you very-very much for the big help of Sosofast, who sent me new lens, because I broke it accidentally

At first, some wip pictures:

... and the finished car

Merry Christmas for everybody!

Very nice! I love how you remade those electrical boxes, your connectors look a thousand times better than the ones cast with the floorboard.

Nice authentic GC WRC! Great work on the seat belt and interior work!

Superb model !!

I like your work on the electrical boxes and connectors on rear panel.
Hood fasteners seem a bit oversized, are they supposed to be 1/24 ?

DJ RUSH99 · #12 12-28-2013, 11:53 AM

Thank you Rallymaster!

Yes, sure for 1/24 size.
They are from the SMS etched set for this car:

Thanks for your answer.
SMS has probably seen a bit too big...

In fact it's the ring itself that seems too big to me.

Any news of your 205 PP project ?

DJ RUSH99 · #14 12-28-2013, 12:53 PM

Yeah, maybe they oversized it a little bit

Unfortunately there is nothing new with the 205PP project, I did not touch it since long months

Of course I really want to finish it once , only more time and perseverance are needed for it..

Yeah I know what you mean, I work 80 hours per week so I know what it is to try to find time, energy, motivation...
