WRC Toyota Corolla, Monte-Carlo Winner 1998 (C.Sainz/L.Moya)

[Waffen Bucks]

This one has taken me a good 7 weeks or so. First baby on the way, so most evenings were spent painting rooms etc!!!

Well this one was a really nice model to complete. It's a Toyota Corolla WRC, Monte-Carlo Winner from 1998. Made by Revell in 1:24 scale and is 17.1cm long.

Had no problems with the assembly of model, all parts fit where they were supposed to go. The kit does not come with the driver and navigator...these were aftermarket purchases from eBay and they needed a little bit of a weight loss programme, to make them fit the slender bucket seats of the Toyota.

Decals were a little small at times and i pierced the front grill and air-intake on the bonnet. Never managed to fix them...but most WRC never finish in pristine condition. I may get the airbrush out at some point and give a layer of dirt...but here she is at this moment in time. Hope you enjoy the photos!!

A very nice build Andrew those decals must have been rather difficult with all the curves and bends but a job well done

There were a few tricky ones. Thankfully the larger decals (the red and green ones along the bottom of the door) were just one piece but even with Micro Set fluid, they were still tricky.
