Rally Racers are cool but having seen numerous idiots and drivers during races on YouTube is crazy, insane and dangerous. Why in the world would you have a rally on European back roads with spectators on roadside risking their lives, property damage in event of crash when you can create a closed track for this sport? Never understood the concept of it all. LOLOLOLOL!!!

Interesting. Is there a factory stock version available?

Looks like Hasegawa did one

Thanks Gents - I'm looking forward to building it!

If I enjoy this build the next one will probably be...

lol, I see your point but I do think they've done a lot about keeping the spectators off the track these days, it's not quite as bad as it was in the past.... I hope!

IT's HERE!!!!

Really pleased to get this - arrived a few minutes ago. Man this thing is almost as big as my bench/tray thing.



Nice full box - I'll take some better shots tomorrow as it's dark here and I've got to go paint a ceiling!



Look at those decals

I've had a quick nose through the box (I was actually doing an audit for one of my clients when it arrived) and it looks pretty good - nicely moulded. I'm not sure how old the kit is (I'll look it up on scalemates when I get time) but it looks nice and crisp. The only thing I'm sad about it that there's no engine to play with - that kind of sucks (I could see if there's an AM one), but overall I'm looking forward to seeing how it all goes together.

Hopefully I can get this one further than that little 1/32 Airfix kit I was building (and sold), but this is my first 1/24 car kit - excited? yes I am...

Cheers!

Oh sweet!

Thanks Gents - looking forward to getting started on this over the weekend!

This is going to be sweet!

You'll be so happy when you are finished Stu i know it.

I'll be watching.

Ooooh - look what's coming!
