Ford Focus RS WRC '2002 "Performance Blue"

All greetings! Has begun work on one more model. I will make it quickly!
It Ford Focus RS WRC the sample of 2002. In kit from Tamiya there are discrepancies. I have already ordered correct headlights. The manufacturer has given all details of a body truly.

I use PE from Scale Motorsports. But there it is not enough necessary elements.

Here that is made for this moment:

Under a varnish only a part of labels. The others will be established from above.

The running is almost ready. It is necessary to add protection of gasoline tanks.

Excuse for ours with the computer English language :smokin:

Excellant work so far, cant wait to see more!!

We understand you just fine...a picture is worth a 1000 words.
Good job so far but what is the material on the seats?
I too have built this car.Tamiya makes the greatest rally kits.

Very nice!!

Impressive start.

I really like the weathering of the underside, it looks very convincing and realistic. I'll definately try this on my own build, as I'm building one of those myself at the moment (wip will follow soon on AF...).

Tamiya just cut some corners with this kit. They're selling it as an '02 Focus, but it's just an '01 Focus in '02 colours.
I ordered new headlights and a new hood (and roof scoop) from Renaissance for my build.

Good luck, and I'll be following your progress !

2 DerXL, this kit it is valid not absolutely correct. But, if to collect variant Duval, it is necessary to change only headlights. I have already ordered them. Therefore all ok.

2 guiwee, on seats a special material on a glutinous basis from Hiro.

Now mini updating. Do not pay attention to "dirt" to a floor. I will clean it necessarily.

Is the heat shield on the exhaust made out of masking tape? The weathering on the chasis looks great. :thumbsup:

Very, very good! Beautiful Focus.

The dash looks sharp! Keep it up!

I love the exhaust heat wrapping work you've done. I think someone already asked but masking tape w/ some weathering?

It is glad that it is pleasant to you. It is really sticky tape from Tamiya

Has altered a radiator. All tubes from prowolves. Only hollow disks (a red arrow) - resin aftermarket.

Great work! I really like the slight damage on the underside, it adds a lot to the realism.
