Hi Guys, well i have just started this model [will post some pics soon], apart from the instructions which are a bit hit and miss, especially the decal placement as there are no numerical references, and only black and white pics of completely decalled car. It appears to stack up quite well, definitly not tamiya quality, as some of the features which are moulded in could have been seperate[ refering here to the head/tailights which are moulded in situ!] the chassis is especially complex, unfortunatly not much can be seen when the covers are applied. Interior looks good and matches up well against the real thing.All in all a very nice kit, apart from the bits i have mentioned. Has anyone else got this kit and if so what do you think.
Dave

Me too I've been debating this kit to build alongside my Ken Block Impreza as this is 1/24 and the airfix one is 1/35 so wouldn't look right. Can you post some pics up please.

Hi Guys, will try and get some pics up by the weekend. have to admit the instructions are definitly not clear in places, also ther should be ford logos on the footpedal base and also on the opposite side shroud none are supplied, and these are very pronounced on the real car. also the seat belt straps should go through the seat and connect to the rear of the roll cage this is also not shown. another small omission is with the fitting of the straps to the spare wheel here again no real pics of attachment points. Sorry if this all sounds a bit picky but it does make for a lot of head scratchcing, there are some pics on the web which help, but interior pics seem to be in short supply. Even with the poor insructions and minor omissions still a very good kit. Dave

Hi guys, sorry to dissapoint but there will be no pics for a while, as i have now to wait for a new set of decals, as the original ones just disintigrated on contact with water, hopefully this is just an oddball, and not the norm, so will await the reply with interest.
