It's my first WIP on AF :)
I will build all-open model of the car, that won Monte-Carlo rally in 1971.

Here is this car:

Wow, nice start!
Looking forward to see more mods on this one. :)

Seamus McRae
02-01-2009, 04:53 PM
Wow. A couple of things:
1 how did you work out the front guard/undertray needs that mod? I have most of those photos from my rally books but I haven't seen anything that shows that part
2 what did you use on the seats? It looks like some sort of plastic putty car body repairers use (we call it bog here in Australia)

Great start BTW. Want to see how this turns out. Is this a one-off or do you plan to do any others? Could be a long prod'n line if there are others waiting...

2 Seamus McRae: (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=575996)
Here, on this photos, we can see correct shape of the front undertray.
There is some more mistaces in Tamiya KIT. about it I will say later.

Unfortunately, I have only one KIT oh this beautiful car :(
But sometime in the future, I want to build another one in stock.


And some qestions to all :)
If someone have photos or information about '71 Monte-Carlo rally version, you could help me in my build.
I dont know, what color was the seat belts in that car :'(

If you have a few (a few hundreds ?? :naughty: ) hours to spend, you may find here (http://www.forum-auto.com/sport-auto/theme40/sujet378076.htm) answers to all your questions !

I'm still at the page 29 for the moment :rofl: :lol:
but I don't download all the pics, I'm lokking for precise informations/pictures. Nevertheless I've already seen 71 MC pics...



Very nice start on you build, I never noticed the front modifications to be done... :eek7:

That's an impressive source for Alpine A110 fans. I can't imagine how did I miss that thread when I searched the forum-auto.com last year.

Not surprising to me that you miss it, FA is a truly huge gold mine !! :naughty:
I discover something almost each time I take a look at it...
and most of the time I come there through google images search, so sometimes in threads I haven't inevitably been in before...
I think this simply is the biggest source of the Web concerning rallye pictures.

I'm pretty sure it is Tamiya.
Nice progress and great job on the hinges.

Excellent mods on the hinges. Door opens like real. Very impressive.
I like the fact that you share your building tips with us.
I might even try to open the doors on one of my builds someday, using your build as an example.
