1/43 '94 Celica ST205

Since I just ordered the 1/24 transkit from Studio27 (even though I have 2 versions of Racing43 transkits:headshake) I figure I better finish this one up....

Just a couple of teaser pics in the meantime until I get a chance to shoot some more. The kit is from Racing43. Overall its decent but I think the main headlights look a little off and for some reason they mount the exhaust on the left instead of the right side of the car, other than that its not too shabby.

Hopefully I'll have this one all wrapped up in a day or 2.

Nice start on one of my favorite rally cars.

Almost there.... just missing instruments on the navigators side, tow hooks, exhaust, rear tire tiedown, antenna, hood latches, and mud flaps....

The seat backs and side mirrors are Scale motorsports kevlar, and carbon respectively.

I don't know if its just a bad batch but both of my kevlar and cf sheets are ridiculously brittle and pretty much broke apart after soaking in water. Anyone else have that problem?
