I have this same kit, so will be interested to see what magic you do with it (probably with the result that I'll sell mine in frustration lol)

Hi all, the only green and brown in this build is the scenery. Got to be a good lad because it's not armour so got to keep it clean (what have i let myself in for). Right, the subject. Colin McRae was a legend and i thought it was time i did a little tribute to this great man, plus it was time i did a model that had some colour on it other than "green and brown". The model, well what can i say it's Tamiya so it'll build into a nice model. A mate of mine is into modified cars and had a car in the some colour as the 1998 Subaru, he's just given me some Blue Mica so i havn't got that to worry about.
Have fun, John

You don't want in this thing, you don't get in this thing. I cut you out of everything. I don't need you. Sixty feet of bridge I can get almost anywhere. Schmuck!"
Great choice john, McRae was a legend , im sure itll be a fitting tribute, cheers tony
Well, if i can find the figures (somewhere in the house) then it'll be in a dio and flat out lol. Going to see if i can get some spectators too and have a good model going.
Have fun, John
A rally car can always be hidden under a degree of mud so you still get the chance to do some mat brown!!
Should be an enjoyable kit though, Tamiya cars always make into a lovely model.

This should be an interesting build looking forward to seeing this done.

At the mo i'm just cleaning the mold lines up on the bumpers, taken me all of five minutes. Richard mate, if i make a really big mistake it'll be time to find some Network Q decals and have lots on mud lol. But as you say they are a nice kit and will build straight from the box, i've just got to refrain from putting guns on it.
Have fun, John
Guess where I'm typing this from?
I'm up a hill near Bergerac in S/W France and it's just hit 50/120 degrees outside and I'm having a cold beer in a Tabac typing this half pi++++!
Great subject John and a nice change.....Not my round again?
See ya soon,
CHEERS!!

Morning all, after playing about with a RC King Tiger (thanks again Ian) i forgot i have this on the bench. The rollcage is all together and ready for paint, right the paint, the stuff i got from a friend is 2K and a little on the thick side. If i was to use thin it down for the airbrush the solvent would kill the plastic, Vauxhall Arden Blue looks just about right so got a can of that. If you are out & about and see some Hycote Plastic Primer, grab it. I've got some for my bumper (real car lol) and thought i use a little on this build. It goe's on great and keeps all the detail.
Have fun, John
