2003 Ford Focus WRC Rally Finland Winner

[Rickard_Olsson]

I bought this one today.. I have been to buy this one for a long time.. and today I did it

Manufacturer: Hasegawa

Looks like a really nice kit with alot of parts and I think this will be a fun kit to build.. I think this will be a rather fast build though.. not much to be detailed.. just OOB

I also started on this model a few days ago.
Enjoy building your model.

I'll be watching this closely; I might even have to buy the kit myself!

In the decals, what drivers are included?

Martin/Park. Keep in mind the two Ford cars in '03 wore different liveries.

Ever since the Speed Channel became SpeedTV, I haven't been able to follow WRC well. I'm glad that it has Martin/Park, though; Markko was my favorite driver :-D

[Rickard_Olsson]

I'm building this especially because of the Martin/Park decals.. they were a good team !

[deltableh]

Well man, I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out!

[Rickard_Olsson]

I have painted the body and I will clearcoat it also.. in a short amount of time.. and I have also put the rollcage together.. and I scratched some parts on it to make it look abit more like the real thing

Nice progress!

[Rickard_Olsson]

I have put the most important decals on and I will clearcoat the body later tonight so I can have the "hard" part finished

I have also finished the wheels







The tires





And I have also changed the drivers seat..

The right one - Subaru Impreza 2005 spare seat
Left one - "Stock"

Here is the body dry and finished with the clearcoat

I will now let it stay dryting for a couple of days as I return to building my Williams F1 and/or the SLR

Looking good Rickard, good shine on your clear coat, this was a great looking car, one of my favorite WRCs, The black areas on the bumper need to be bigger though.
Heres a link to a great photo of Markko and 'Beef' on the event

Looking nice.

What is that black dot midway down either door, is that a hole?
