Yes, no... well sort of.

Strictly speaking no because the car is not complete as yet as it is awaiting delivery of many parts including front suspension and its 6 speed sequential gearbox. However the shell is fully complete and although still all white at present, pending its final dry build and then final paint, it will be painted along similar lines to his current car which is the previous shape Corsa.

So, after discretely quizzing my mate on colour schemes I have opted for a mix and match of the opel works scheme and his current car as pictured below:

It would be cool if he copys your scheme on his 1/1, life imitating art

Just about finished.... Sorry about the poor pics will try to get some daylight shots before it goes to its new owner this weekend.











Just need to alter the case base to do away with the Opel text as it's now supposed to be a Vauxhall.

Great job, and a really nice birthday present.

Thanks for all of your kind comments. Just about managed to get 10 minutes between the rain to get some outdoor pics before it gets wrapped up and off to tonight's birthday bash.

I've really enjoyed this one and the first time with a 1/43rd car. Never really liked the scale until now and as for this one I think I'll be sad to see it go, so have decided to try and get another car and do it all again.

Looks excellent Marco.Your friend should be thrilled to have his car as a model.
