Italeri Fiat 131 Abarth Rally


Recommended Posts

Here is my latest classic rally car build. Im really enjoying building these classics and this was a pretty good kit.

The build went well apart from the chassis did not want to fit to the body, but after a bit of fettling I got there, the decals were a bit daunting but went down really well.

Nicely done, those decals too indeed! I agree, these classic rally cars are great. That boxy look, what's not to like 🙂

Looks like you've done a really nice job on this - can't say I envy you those decals though.

 

This is one of those kits for me which I really like the look of, but haven't quite got to the stage of pushing the button to buy it (quite a few models out there like that, and if I did press the button on them all I'd soon end up with a monster stash). Good to hear that it mostly went together quite easily though to give you that result.

Great build here!, what paint did you use, and did you clear before decal application? If you didn't, then did you get any silvering?

Hi, thankyou.

I used Halfords Grey Primer, then Halfords Toyota White straight out of a rattle can, and I then used the Halfords Clear Lacquer.

Then I put the decals on with no issues. But you cant use the clear lacquer over the decals as it eats through them.
