DONE!!!!!

After a couple interesting days, I am VERY happy to report that the Peugeot 405T16GR is DONE!!!!

Some pics for you:













Hope you like the finished model!

I have to say that this is not an easy model to build, specially if you want to make an accurate replica. A lot of work must be done to the engine and interior to get it right, but Tamiya did a great job with the overall look of the car.

The key to build this car is RESEARCH. This is an old subject and good detail photos are not easy to find.

I want to thank all of your kind words and help during the modeling process.

Now, time to find some good photos of ELEANOR!!

Very detailed and acurate replica you now have.

The Mitsubishi is a cool idea!! I wonder if there's a 1:24 kit I could use as a base for this project...

Depends on the version (year).
There is a Tamiya Pajero (Paris - Cape Town) version.

You bet. That is great work. The engine-bay looks spot-on. All the work paid off.

Fine work! Only it is very a pity to me that it has come to the end, it was very interesting to observe of it!!!

Like a lot of others here, I've been watching your progress on this one for quite a while. It is truly impressive. I'm sure you'll win at the upcoming contest. But then you have to keep your promise and dirty that thing up!

I've built one of these and have two more in the stash. I'll keep a bookmark on your WIP thread for constant reference when building them in the future.

Thanks again for sharing a very enjoyable project.
