Ford Sierra Cosworth 1/18, 1988 Rally Portugal, #15 Carlos Sainz

[Invité §Ome823cN]

Hi guys!

 

starting a new project which this time I would like to share the wip and get your suggestions...

the model I would like to replicate is the Ford Sierra Cosworth in 1/18 scale driven by Spannish matador Carlos Sainz in 1988 Rally Portugal.

 

I am using an AA Sierra Cosworth as the base model and will be doing the paint job+decals+clear coat and re-assembly.

here below are some photos of the model, original car and my wip.

 

suggestions and comments are highly welcomed!

trying on the new shoes, by Uli Nowak...

the Uli wheels are 5 nuts while the original wheels has 4 nuts... I can try to change it to 4 but the Uli wheels are so good to ruin so I am not so sure if I would like to convert them
