That looks smart! That's a Tamiya kit right? Never seen it built before, only the boxart.

Thanks, it's the Alpine-Renault A442 Turbo kit #24011, it is still available from some sources. The re-issue has much better decals. Paint is Krylon Sun Yellow,had to scratchbuild most of interior(old motorized kit.

Take a look in the AF Car Modeling Gallery, especially at Steve Gibbins' works...

Very Smooth work. Have you done the Nissan R390 GT1 yet?

Thank You,
No I haven't built the Nissan 390 yet. I have done some work on it. I cut the rear bumper unit loose from the fenders and made it almost snaplock in place. I will have to get back to it sometime. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do the paint job.

This car didn't race at Lemans but it goes with this thread in a way because of the type of car. Decals were really fun on this one.

Very nice!
The Bently is die cast right?

The Bentley is a PM kit(1/43rd scale)

Very nice work! especially the Toyota.

More Le Mans cars will be the next projects once the rally cars are finished.

Le Mans Miniatures 1/24th Bentley EXP Speed 8 2002 & Audi R8
Profil 24 MG Lola EX257
Renaissance Transkit for Ferrari 360 Modena
and probably a transkit Porsche 911 GT3 providing this years decals become available.

but these are a way off yet!! 3 or 4 rally cars to build yet.
