Sorry i don't understand, without decals, what sort of sports car would that be?

If it ain't for racing it's just a pose!

The question is not when they will come out with one, the question is more whether they will come out with a model of the 307.
While many of us are hoping we will see kits of the '03/'04 Impreza WRC, Citroen Xsara, Ford Focus WRC '03 and the Peugeot 307, Tamiya has not shown any intent on producing kits of them, nor for that matter has any other manufacturer.

Ppl keep saying the wing is incorrect. Is it just me, or does it seem like they DID make the correct wing (ie. those vertical protrusions are there)? Or is there something else I am missing?

How about transplanting that wing over to the EvoVII to make the 04 car (f-u-g-l-y --> what were they thinking?!?).

clem..

You have just proven how easy it is to deceive the untrained eye.
The vertical strakes do not make the wing correct, they just make it more correct.
The overall shape of the wing is still incorrect.

If you look at post #3 in this thread where I posted photos of both the model and of the real car, the wing is clearly different on the model to that of the real car.
The wing on the real car flares outwards more before it cuts back for the horizontal section, the wing on the kit doesn't do this, it just goes straight up to the horizontal from the body.

Painting question.

Is it wise to mix enamel paint with thinner? coz i found it more easier to paint.

Is anyone from Indonesia? Susah nich ngomong bahasa inggris terus
