To celebrate Ott Tanak's double victories in Finland & Belgium (in the Hyundai i20), I completed this Belkits of his Fiesta during the 2017 Tour De Corse rally. Unfortunately, he crashed into the bush during this rally.
The kit's detailed interior is mostly hidden once the body, with the reflective window films, is closed up & the large sheets of decals went on without much of a problem. Unfortunately, I still need to touch up a few tears with paint. Once completed, a couple of semi gloss coats were sprayed over them. Quite happy that finally I've a car kit that I don't need to polish..
Cheers

Good Job ! Pity the M-sport uses Puma's nowadays, these Fiestas look more classy.

Nicely done. Those wrap decals look to be labor intensive, to say the least. And to go through the headache of doing harnesses only so they can't be seen....pity.

Thanks you guys.
Agreed that the Fiestas looks classy & that the Pumas they are using now looks clumsy to me. Guess it's a marketing strategy.
Yes, it's a pity that the interior is mostly concealed after all the hard work, unless one cuts the doors open. Anyway that will not be me as the last doors I've cut open on Tamiya's Ford Focus became an abandoned project.
