BTCC Honda Integra DC5

[Lathafummi]

After following the BTCC this year I wondered if anybody knew of any decals or had the ability to make any?

I want to have a go at making this



Into this



I have a lot of reference pics of the race car if needed. The bodywork doesn’t look that hard to mod my 1/24 Subaru DTM car didn’t come out that bad and I learnt a lot making it



Cheers in advance

Right I have decided to try and build a version. As there are no decals available it will be in the preseason stickerless Halfords orange. That is unless I can get somebody to make them

Now the kit that im going to use



The body with the pre modifed bumper



stock bumper



The start of the work...
The three slats (?) removed and the vents drilled and the lower lip cut back. The strange v moulding has also been sanded back.



The the start of the plasticard work.



Lots and lots to do.

The front is coming together very slowly. I did not think there was that much to change utill I started it.





It was after the last pic I decided to add more to the back of the bumper to thicken it up a little.



Here it is with a quick test fit. Not to bad the size doesnt look that far off compared to the photos of the real car. Looks like I have got a lot of work coming up with the main arches and the lower sill box things



And does antbody know where i can get something like this in 1/24 they are 17" in real life ?

Very interested subject, as I followed closely your awesome work on the Sub.

I think it may exsist these decals in 1/43 but almost surely not in 1/24.

Great subject! Keep up the good work.

I'll look through what I have to see if I can help with the wheels
