  1. Here is my 1/24 Audi Quattro, built to represent the car raced by Michèle Mouton with co-driver Fabrizia Pons in the 1981 Portugal Rally. This is the Italeri kit, which is a rebox of the old Esci kit. It is woefully inaccurate because it uses too many parts from the road version that aren't correct for the rally version. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), I had ruined the body of a Tamiya Audi Quattro Rally kit a while back, so I was able to use the following parts from that kit to make this one more accurate: - Fender flares - Front bumper - Exhaust - Side mirrors - Antenna mount - Steering Wheel - Rear window (the Italeri window had a hole in it for the rear wiper, which the rally car didn't have) I also used the tires from the Tamiya kit simply because they were better than Italeri's. The bonnet pins are from D.A.B. Models, and I scratch-built the mounts for the night stage lights. I painted the body using Tamiya lacquers, including a custom mix for the brown portions of the Audi Sport livery, and LP-50 for the red on the bonnet. Reji decals make up the rest of the livery and all other markings. I used Gravity 2K for the clear coat. This was a labour of love, and it took me the better part of a year to complete because I worked on it off and on between other projects. Because I used all those Tamiya parts, I suppose this is technically my first kitbash! Questions, comments, and especially critiques are most welcome. -Justin
  2. Hello, Finally I had some time to finish anything. This time I was working on a car. Quite a nice kit to build, straight forward with good fit. But as usual I had some problems on the way. Starting with lack of instructions on how to paint the interior, aluminium roof was a bit of a pain, I couldn't achieve smooth surface, tried Mr. color metal paints, AK true Metal wax, finally used old good Alclad2. I thought, that will be my try with high gloss Halfords laquers, Audi real colour. But then, I looked in the instructions, and bang - this car has a satin finish.. I used it anyway and to be honest it looks way better satin than gloss. Some parts were meant to be gloss, like chassis. I guess that's because they used the same chassis for different variants on the track. Decals were a dream to work with, no big issues with the kit. Pictures: Now back to tanksThanks,Bart
