1/43 KABY CHEVETTE RAC 1980

very good ROC!

Woo Hoo, I'm on the list! Is it a stock car version or does it still need wipers, windows and lights etc etc...? LOL

You are that funny you should be on the stage. You are barred! And the Cibie logo on the flank should be on the front spoiler-I know!

very nice that

Thanks for the recognition. Glad it's not finished, if it looks this good now, when it's finished it will be immense.... (see what I did there eh?)

You are still barred-HFH models now soaking in Nitromors!

Looking very nice so far.

Nice Yellow

How much and how many?

5 planned and all pre-booked. May do more if enough interest but they are a lot of work.

Stripping paint these days is a pain since Nitromores changed their stuff to environmentally friendly material-it does not work as well or as quick. Then paint body with primer then a top coat of appliance gloss white then the yellow. then the decals then clear lacquer then assembly. Trofeu has put up the cost of their models for 2013 plus the cost of the decals so there is no profit in it at all so unlikely to do any more.

Like it Rory
You are always trying something different

I really like it Rory !!!!!

Its the one I am doing for you. Paint is done to my liking, decals are all on and its been lacquered too to seal it all in-just did the window rubbers tonight-assembly tomorrow but not in time for the post-Monday probably-sorry its taken me longer than planned.

Just looking at a pic of the car from 79 RAC and slightly different but still a nice looking car and model above

1980 this one, so the decals say anyway. Have not found any pics of the car on the event.

it will be plus terry used same colour car previous year so no doubt different stickers on it

Just looked and different car reg wise to your model Rory

1979

Finished and in the post to Cork.

Very nice Rory.

Please take note Trofeu

Great build Rory

Very nice model

Excellent!

Nice built, how are the arena decals?

Slightly off scale-smaller-I have a few sets so had to cannibalize a set. The side stripes need to be longer so I cut them where the door meets the arch and then added a bit more. The bit on the front on the wing is then too long so it has to be cut and then brought back into line. The problem is the little cut outs for the top of the arches don't line up properly. They go onto the model easily enough and need a good soak. They are a bit brittle. I may have to custom print some of the logos like Pisimat as its too small really. Happy enough with the build and the next one will be better.
