Citroën Xsara WRC 2001

Citroen Xsara WRC

Details - Aftermarket hood pins, decals and DIY leaves added

Modifications - Stance is hard-set with CA glue and hot glue as best as I could manage, exhaust is shortened and glued further away from original mounting to look more realistic, molded in rear badges, hood pins, tow hooks removed. Thin strip of tape painted in yellow and mounted in center of steering wheel detail. Subtle windscreen weathering. Flocked dashboard.

Pros
First completely airbrushed model excluding primer and clear 🙂
First panel line wash
Really happy with result!!

Cons
Missing lamps lenses from the box
Second round of weathering not as nice as first, is water soluble so will continue to remove if bothersome to the eye over time.

A simple but challenging build. The model kit reads like it’s in scale and nicely molded but the manual is bizzare and overall build is difficult I would say. A advanced build.
Beware of old decals, low quality more the high quality ones anyway!

Decals, weathering, perfect glass finish gloss paint and 100% stance remains a “could have been better” in my opinion but it’s a finished and documented model. I am very content, this is my second finished model from the 20 year break and it feels fantastic!


I’ve been building rc 1:10 scale models the past ten years
