Peugeot 205 EV.2 by Heller(?!) [56K Warning]

So I decided that while the Autobianchi's body airs out and my order for TS-29 comes in, I would start another project. One of the kits that has been lying around my closet for some time is this Peugeot 205 EV.2 by Heller. While its pretty slim on detail and parts and its quality is shameful compared to the version produced by Tamiya, the cool thing about this kit is that everything opens. Usually, in a mid range kit like this one, that would mean a nightmare in terms of fit, but I was very pleasently surprised. I've decided to really detail this one, and while I have found a few pics of other 205 rally variants, I have not come across too many reference pics on this particular one, so if anyone has anything, I would be very appretiative if you passed them on to me. Anyway, here's the kit (sorry for the crap pics):

I decided to do a mockup of the kit. This was really easy cause the parts all seam to snap in place. It gave me a good idea of what to expect and what areas are going to requiere more attention. I've decided to trash the glass that came with the kit, way too thick to be anywhere near realistic. I wanted to cut out the grills, but the mounting points for the chassis are right behind them. It's going to take some figuring out.

it does open but on a completely false engine !! :eek7:

give me your mail I will send you several pics.

Good success! The quality of the Heller-Kits is known as bad.

I will begin the next week with my Peugeot 905. I have read there very bad about the kit. This has been confirmed with the first passport tests.
WIP follows...

Coming on well.
See my website for lots of photos.
