shood23 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I finished this recently and i am very happy how it turned out all the red parts of the car are heller decals which work amazingly with micro sol the blue is tamiya ts51 this is the first time i have ever made a rally car so i wanted it to look as rally as possible, again i have never attempted any sort or dirt/mud effect ive noticed in the pic that the racing decal on the rear wing looks weird, looking at it with just eyes it doesnt look any where near as bad, im guessing its the focus or light setting on my camera when i started this the intakes were all moulded plastic so i cut the out and put a mesh fabric i picked up from hobby craft instead also i didnt like the thickness of the antenas so used some metal wire i had laying around any way thanks for looking and all comment welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis pacheco Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Looks very good. But the mud effect is not very real for a tarmac rally like Rallye of France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1 Insider Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Very very good my friend. The mud splatter is very effective. How did you achieve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1fuN0 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey that looks very nice... Is the mud airbrushed on, or the old toothbrush trick? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 The mud effect is actually done by using a rotary tool with a kind of sponge end on it dipped in thinned paint then before I glued the bidy on to the car putting the sponge vin the wheel arches and a quick blast then done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Great looking model .Tarmac rally cars often get very muddy due to constant corner cutting dragging mud onto the road . The later Heller Citroen DS3 kits no longer feature Red Bull decals , but a red " bubble" where the Red Bull word should appear . Did anyone know Red Bull is banned from sale in France ?

somnas Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The splashing looks good on the body but the wheels doesn't look like they have been moving, wheels tend to be more uniform in their dirtyness: Otherwise, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian J Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi Windy37 I am doing the Heller Citroen DS3 at the moment. The kit decals do have the correct Red Bull logos as per the real car, but they come in bits & pieces and have to be aligned. A bit like swasticas on WWII aircraft kits. Even the letters that make the Red Bull name do not appear in sequence. All the other decals are in one piece, Citroen, Total etc Yet another licencing issue between kits and big corporations perhaps ? If I can work out how to post pics I will put some up of my build. It is always good to see more WRC cars on this site. regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the comments they will all come in handy for the future and I have the ds3 also and the redbull logos are definitely present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
