andyh Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Another of my favourite rally cars, but this kit was a pain from start to finish. Loads of flash, hardly anything fitted correctly and the decals must have been from a bad batch, I had to order replacements from Italeri in the end which went on ok. I am happy with it, but it is far from perfect. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 That's a very nice build which has come out looking great, even more so given the difficulties you sound like you've had. One criticism (which is emphatically aimed at Italeri and not at yourself) is that the kit seems to have over-sized wheelarches, something which stands out when compared to the box photo. Just to reiterate that I think you've done a great job, just a pity Italeri didn't quite give you the base materials necessary, and it will still look good on the shelf.

The wheelarches aren't just oversized , they're completely wrong in shape . Sadly , when Esci originally tooled this kit they didn't do the best of jobs either on the body or the hopeless rear suspension . I think it's a great shame that such an iconic vehicle is so poorly represented in 1/24 scale . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
