Tamiya Volvo 850 Wagon BTCC
This is the kit that I really enjoyed making. Here are some in-progress pictures followed by the pics of the finished thing. All I can say is that the decals took days (literaly) to apply but it was worth it. Enjoy.













Volvo and the Sierra



Comments anyone?

Alex

P.S. you all will have a break from my pics now as I won' get my hands on the camera for several weeks!

Doesn't it make you feel good when all that time spent on decals pays off in the end?

Another great job Alex.
Don't know why but never really wanted this one to be in my collection.
Had it many times in my hands but opted for other models.
Maybe I change my mind.
Nice work with the decals. They look perfect.
