Ford Fiesta RS WRC

 

Glued the rollcage and made a gap in the floor to give room for a nut. 

Here you see the nut on the floor of the car. 

Removed the rear window frame and made some space behind the doorhandle. 

Glued the window frame back in but this time a bit "lower". 

Assembled the rollcage. Green arrow indicates were the protection used to be. 

Completed the seats. 

Completed dashboard. 

Left inside panel. 

Build up of the interior. Most of it exactly as in the build-manual! 

Body was painted white then black to kind of match the decals. 

First decals were placed on the body. Fitment is not the best though... 

Decals on roof and bonnet were added. Painted a small piece orange on both sides to match a non-fitting decal. 

Right side decal is on. 

And the left side decal is on as well. 

Pfff, 2 long evenings of decalling and still not done (or completely satisfied). Red arrow indicates one of the parts that needs extra decals becaus of "mis-fitting". 

Finished the airscoop using a self printed decal for the blue and leftovers for the red stripes 

Body is almost done now. Red arrows indicate self-made decals. 

 

Painted the windows using the templates in the kit.  

Lights were painted using Alclad Chrome. 

Added a couple of extra decals to compensate for the mismatching decals. Every arrow points to a single decal! 

Rear window was finished. 

All 5 wheels were painted black. 

Rear wing was corrected with a small strip. 

Body was given a gloss clearcoat for protection and then a semi-matt coat for effect.

Some work done on the interior. Handbrake was replaced (right green arrow). 

Protection for the bottom of the car. 

Suspension was glued into place. 

Inside view of the body. 

Rear window with number decal and rally-sponsor "Brother". 

Openings in roofscoop were painted black and scoop was put into place. Also laid down "Hoonigan"-decal on windshield. 

Front light-units painted and put into place. 

Light covers were painted. Rear ones with clear red, front ones were partly done with Alclad chrome. 

Rear lights put into place. 

Front light covers done as well. Also note the grill which was finished. 

Added the belts to the seats. 

Finally I could put the seats and rollcage onto the chassis. 

Added windscreen wipers(1), front grill with Ford-logo (2) and mesh over the cooling exits (3). 

Rear wing with home-made decals as the decalset was worthless... 

Rearview mirrors with home-made decals. 

Notice the 2 missing parts in de decals. 

Printed the 2 missing parts and added them. Looks a lot better now!
