Hi to all, as promised I'm back with new photos. These two Volvo are old projects built with some modifications from Tamiya kits, hope you'll enjoy them.

Hi Al, sorry but I have no photos or ref, at that time I strictly followed the kit instructions.

Wow, I do like the open door estate version. I once worked with someone who left the company to work for TWR to help get the TWR Volvo team off the ground. Sadly, we lost contact, and I understand that TWR are now no more…

I’ve got the saloon version in my pile. I doubt I’ll ever build it, its one of those BTCC cars that was at first a gimmicky publicity stunt, and then the team started to win with the saloon.

Very good models, did you use only decals, or did you mask and paint any of the coloured sections?

Amazing built... I have both kits too and hardly can't wait to start them. Where did you find the pilot and mechanic?

Wow you make me happy Alessandro, I'm a volvo enth.
really a super job, fantastic the wagon.

very nice. How hard were the decals on the BTCC Saloon version?

Awesome job. You dont have a tutorial for opening doors and building them up do you?

Shunter · #11 05-26-2006, 02:49 AM

Two excellent builds. They have built up very well.

Hi Guys and thank you for the comments!

mickbench> For the liveries I used the kit decals, no paint

AAlmeida> pilot and mechanic come from Verlinden, slightly modified

Jaymes> the decals was very soft, I would say delicate

91p10nizmo> sorry, I do not have a tutorial on how to open a door

Have a nice weekend. Alessandro
