Hey guys,
Actually got a quite a few bits done today after work,

finished up the front suspension and added wheels:





Then I got bored of fiddlerly things and decide to do some work on the main body
I painted up the black window frames etc:





And added the bonnet grilles and front grilles:





Added the head/tail lights:



And finally I noticed while adding the front wheels that the wheel that will be used as the spare insidethe car had the nuts cast in it like the rest of the wheels, which looked odd for the spare, so I took the trusty pin-vice to em:



And I think thats it for today...

Looking good Simon.
As it is racing season I might have to get a car out and begin

Anyway here we go,

Radiator has been added:


Rear suspension finished up: (totally the wrong blue...but i didn't fancy a trip to the model shop just for one colour)





Some interior details added:


All four wheels are now attached:


Finally I've made a start on decaling the body shell:

Thanx Shark,

I need to thankyou for your awesome track edge base. Made one up, not sure it quite goes with a rally car but I love it

Hi Simon,

Hey Simon,
The base will be perfect for the EVO!
Tarmac tires and the usual MONACO RALLY decals set the car in Monaco. . .and every rally ends with one lap of the famous Formula 1 circuit!
And the base looks lovely too!
