Audi Quattro

Hi folks,

thought I'd share my latest build with you (actually I have completed a build my brother started about 20 years ago, he made a good start on the chassis, and I took over where he left off, re-painted some of his work and completed the construction). It's a Tamiya Audi Quattro with a couple of additions, I added the harnesses, built the front half of the roll cage and replaced the gear lever with the correct version,instead of the road car one, along with the driver and co-driver footrests.

As the kit is at least 20 years old I had a few problems with the decals, and ended up painting the red/grey/brown markings, and also had to make some new decals for the number plates and door numbers as they had turned cream instead of white.

Good job! I think that´s the only Audi I like :P
It doesn´t look like an old kit, even thou we know when it was manufactured. Tamiya quality + good hands.
Any more pics?
Congrats.

Great work. I picked up 2 of these recently and this is great motivation to get them built up!
