didcos's projects

Hi guys, I'm starting this topic where I left it on the old forum.

Finished the Beguin Escort:








Painted the black windows surrounding on Snijers impreza:



The two models are heavily clear-coated over the decals so they should last a while.

I also started repairing an old vitesse 306 Maxi. Stripped most of the decals and filled the 2 gas intakes on the sides with putty because the decals over them always get damaged in those areas. Here's how it look at the moment:

Love the Escort, looks absolutely stunning

whaooo that yacco cossie looks excellent!!

Here's the Celica GT-Four of Andrea Aghini, winner of the Rallye du Valais 1997. Base car is Minichamps and decals racing43.





I printed some Marlboro and Camel decals to make this one a little more real:

Very nicee Didcos

very very nice projects!!

what minichamps base did you use for the 205 celica?

thanks!

I used a Castrol TTE celica. Don't remember which one. I think minichamps relased 2 versionsof the St205, one of which didn't really exist (Auriol was still running the ST185 in '94 while kankkunen was already driving the 205).

yes, very.

Rear spoiler and roof air scoop had to be repainted though.

Beautiful ST205

I finally finished the Thiry Condroz Impreza. It started as an official blue car.
I'm really pissed with myself because I lost the 2 decals with the driver/codriver names that do on the rear windows.

Superb

Beautiful model
Well done

Top quality job, looks excellent

nicely done indeed - that Winfield red certainly did stand out

That's a superb build.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Finished the Auriol Escort. The wheels are not the correct ones but they will do until I find some Cromodora.

Excellent build.

Thanks for the comments guys.

can you send me a picture? If they are racing43, I need the big 18'' ones (same as Escort Kit Car "Budget"), not the small 16'' (usually seen on impreza Grp.a, 5 nuts).
