Excellent work,I know from experience the paint can be a little tricky on this one,but nice work.The weathering looks good as well and so does the open window.

Wow very nice !
the focus isn't the simplest car to build, especially concerning the paint, but yours is perfect, moreover with a great reality inspired weathering.

Great job, the driver's window 1/2 way down is a nice touch

Love the water splash marks around the wheel arch.

Excellent tribute.

Re: Tribute to Colin McRae

Incredible looking model.
And very convincing weathering too.

I'm actually curious how you did the weathering on this car.
A small how-to or tutorial would be very welcome. I have several WRC cars to build and I'm considering weathering them too, but I'm a bit reluctant, because I don't want to ruin a model with bad weathering.
So any tips or advice (what paint, mixing ratio, etc) would be welcome.

Nice work !!
