"RTB" Return To Base? Do your kits fly away if you don't keep track? 😉

Clifford Keesler
Welcome Nathan, Augie and John. @ John, no it means Ready to build., once I have everything I want as far as aftermarket stuff I put it all in the box and mark it RTB so I know everything is there. Otherwise I sometimes end up buying stuff I already have. A quick update on this one, paint and decals are done and and sealed. Waiting for anti-glare panel to dry and I will apply the wash. So getting near the end on this one. I will try and get some more pictures up soon. Spoiler, I did not do the box art version.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work. I would like to compliment you on the finish.

Augie
Great work Clifford 🙂

John
That's a beauty, love the scheme, great choice!

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Villiers, Augie and John, your nice comments mean a lot. It was a nice build.

Michael Kohl
Cool car you chose for your first project. Have fun.

Irineu Junior
Thanks Michael! I've always wanted to build a rally car like this!
I'll try to keep that album updated.

Sam S
Taking a seat 👍🏻

Irineu Junior
After applying primer: preparing for paint.

Irineu Junior
Chassis painted with spray. I'll take the paint off the can and use in airbrush.
It will be easier to control the flow, mainly on the body.

Bozzer
I always enjoy a first build. Taking a seat. Anyone sharing popcorn???

Having done one of these recently, I will give you a heads up that the decals canbe a tad brittle, especially the big ones going across the doors. LOTS of softener needed. PS: beautiful seal point.

Junior, beautiful painting. This is a rally classic. Good choice.

Irineu Junior
Thanks, folks! I'll try to update frequently.
Good tip, @bossy122, thank you!
I messed up a lot with the panel line scraper, had to fix with CA and sandpaper…

Irineu Junior
Display base acquired!

Irineu Junior
Body painted, with airbrush and decanted TS-50. Next steps: decals and clear coat.

Irineu Junior
Most of decals applied. Next step: gloss coat and finish.

bossy122
Do not use Tamiyas TS 13 clear. It will melt your decals.

Spanjaard
first build? it looks real good, keep at it 🙂

Irineu Junior
Thanks @Spanjaard and @bossy122! I'll use X-22.

Jorge Ferreira
Well what can I say. Was it beginners luck or a skillfull modeller ? Those decals look great. I`ve build 4 and the decals were a nightmare. Congratulations. 😊👌

Stéphane Jayet
I would have loved my first build looking like this ! Well done

Irineu Junior
Thank you Jorge and Stéphane! I've been building it at a slow pace, getting a lot of help from forums and videos.

George Williams
Looks good.

Irineu Junior
Way to connect the rear spoiler, and getting ready for final assembly.

Almost done! After messing up the yellow neon decal, I painted it and varnished it, ready for the final assembly.

Patrick Hagelstein
Amazing! Beautifully presented. May I ask how you bent the propeller blades?

András Csilléry
Thanks guys! I bent the prop blades mostly with my fingers, after some heating with a candle (I used the 3D-printed Eduard ones).

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks András! 👍🏼 I'll give that a try as well for a future crash landed G-6.

András Csilléry
@Patrick Hagelstein good luck! 🙂

Patrick Hagelstein
