Renault 5 Turbo Maxi Tour de Corse 1985 - Modeler's 1/24

[Rallyaescala]

Hello guys , this is my last finished work, the R5 Maxi Turbo of Jean Ragnotti's win at the infamous Tour de Corse 85, builded with the old Modeler's of Japan resin kit

I would have preferred to build the gorgeous kit from Luca Cavicci / Scuderia Italialab , including multiple details of the engine and trunk opening , but I searched everywhere on the web for 2 years without success , so I decided to purchase the Modeler 's one on Ebay.

The kit is fairly simple , Resin body and other parts in white metal, with a few photoetched included , and although is very less detailed than the Scuderia Italialab kit, I think it represents well the shapes and proportions of the car.

Thanks for Watching

Julian

Lovely work..

I have the same kit myself - Do you mind advising which paint / colours you used... They look spot on...
