Skoda Fabia S2000 - Freddy Loix - Ypres 2011 - 1/24 Belkits

[Rocknrolla]

Hello to you all!

Here is my very first report on this site. I've started to build the new Belkits Skoda with the livery of Freddy Loix.
With this car, he entered and won the Geko Ypres Rally 2011.
I am trying to put in some detail to the car because i already build a lot of OOB cars.
This is a new challenge.

Hope you guys/girls like it

The real car.


The kit:


First of all, i started to scratch out the panellines.


I cut out the PE disc and sanded them a little. Then put them in place.


Painted the suspension.

Very cool subject. I'll be watching. These Belkits kits look great. I may have to build one someday.

I put in a cable to the brakes.


Once everything is in place, it looks like this.


With the body.


I sanded away the grill before the window and will replace it with a PE part.


And i already made a little start with the cables. One down, more to go

I also drilled out the holes in the wheels.
Put some real bolts in it and even an air ventile.
Then i sanded the tyres a little bit to give it a weathered look.
Once finished, it looks a lot better than the original one.



Then i started to bend some PE and started to fit everything in place.
A dryfit
