Cool car you chose for your first project. Have fun.

Thanks Michael! I've always wanted to build a rally car like this!
I'll try to keep that album updated.

After applying primer: preparing for paint.

Chassis painted with spray. I'll take the paint off the can and use in airbrush.
It will be easier to control the flow, mainly on the body.

Having done one of these recently, I will give you a heads up that the decals canbe a tad brittle, especially the big ones going across the doors. LOTS of softener needed. PS: beautiful seal point.

Thanks, folks! I'll try to update frequently.
Good tip, @bossy122, thank you!
I messed up a lot with the panel line scraper, had to fix with CA and sandpaper…

Body painted, with airbrush and decanted TS-50. Next steps: decals and clear coat.

Most of decals applied. Next step: gloss coat and finish.

Do not use Tamiyas TS 13 clear. It will melt your decals.

Spanjaard
first build? it looks real good, keep at it 🙂

Irineu Junior Author
Thanks @Spanjaard and @bossy122! I'll use X-22.

Jorge Ferreira
Well what can I say. Was it beginners luck or a skillfull modeller ? Those decals look great. I`ve build 4 and the decals were a nightmare. Congratulations. 😊👌

Stéphane Jayet
I would have loved my first build looking like this ! Well done

Thank you Jorge and Stéphane! I've been building it at a slow pace, getting a lot of help from forums and videos.

Way to connect the rear spoiler, and getting ready for final assembly.

Almost done! After messing up the yellow neon decal, I painted it and varnished it, ready for the final assembly.
