Volvo 850 BTCC Estate Tamiya

[Fabio Quirino]

Hi guys, beginning 2012 i'll start this project, the Tamiya Volvo 850 Estate BTCC.



A little history (fonte: http://home.swipnet.se/850-styling/btcc.htm)

If anyone has photos, specially the cockpit, I appreciate !







Thanks for visiting !

This will be a great project to watch. I love this car and would like to get the kit someday.

Are those engine pics there to make us understand you will detail the engine bay ??!!
excellent !!! Will follow this build closely, I've always appreciated such unexpected racing cars as the bmw M1 was in rally or as a station wagon can be.

This Volvo is hard to find now.

Looking forward this build Fabio.

ChillyB, rallymaster, Luis Pacheco, guiwee, thank you for visiting.
It's a rare and expansive kit. I don't know if i'll cut the hood, i'm afraid, ehehe!

Fabio, are you using the recently released Shunko decals or are you going to use the Tamiya kit decals? I was curious what you thought of the quality if using the Shunkos...

Hi Erick, i'm going to use the original decals, but i used the Shunkos on a Hasegawa Lancia Integrale (FINA version) and i liked a lot. It's a good decal, you can use with no problems.
Thank you for visiting

Thinking about starting this model myself...how good are the Shunko decals of the 850 as my Tamiya ones are a little old and starting to go yellow...

Many Thanks
Danny
