Skoda Octavia evo2 wrc- Bruno Thiry- Monte carlo 2001

Ok, this is the last one and my latest model.

Kit: Reji.

Wheels: big model

Im not happy with the front of the car. Something is missing in the shape of it. It was the hardest kit i ever built everything was crooked and skewed.

Nice job and very clean build of an unusual subject. You are right though, the front does look a little strange. It looks like the whole front, forward of the front wheel arch, is pointing upwards.
Very much like your model though.

Your work is first class, it is the Reji casting that is not correct as you have mentioned. Frustrating when it is an expensive resin kit.

Nice one even if the kit isn't the best possible.
which green did you use to paint the bumpers ?

I used Motip RAL 6005 Mossy green.

That was the closest to the green of the decal.

You done an excellent job for a tough kit let me tell ya!
Yeah it look like it has its nose stuck in the air like the front valance has to come down.
Was the bumper separate from the rest of the kit or was it a whole kerbside kit?
If the bumper was separate you could've tried slipping in thin card between the bumper & under headlight to maybe bring it down just a tad then sand away excess to the shape of body? I don't know ,but you still done an excellent job on this regardless.....great job never the less.
