Cheers for the feedback Lad's

Omer I think the red on the Bosch M3 is not as bright as the M3 Touring Car's or the Lancia Delta rally car's,
The red I used on this model was BMW Mini Chilli Red, I use this red as I was painting a Mini that day,
The colour looks darker in the photo's but yes it is a wee bit dark, on the next 5 I'm building I will use a brighter red

Yeah Chris I told Paul that I needed a week off so I could build my own stuff,
He thinks it was this week so didn't bring any models over.... little does he know it's next week I'm taking off

Working on a Saturday Paul means someone else was paying overtime.... lucky it wasn't you lol




Seeing how I was working today and had lacquer in the gun I got a few coats on the model,
Before I could lacquer it I had to fix where the red lines met on the bonnet,
I had to do a wee touch up with the red so there was a straight line instead of a point,
After looking through the spare decal box I found white decal paper and cut a triangle shape to set on the bonnet giving the point I needed,

Pics before with a straight line where the red meets




Pics after the white decal paper is fitted




Lacquered up and ready for the window rubber lines






Ahh cant get a good shinny photo lol

PMSL!!!

[Cazzo]

Right.... I've now got this one finished,

I lacquered it yesterday then today I had to go over the window rubber lines with satin black as the lacquer gave them a gloss finish,
Then I added the last few decals, number plates and all the window decals, built it back up fitting the new brake disc's and wheels,

If anyone is building this then make sure you fit the white decals for the headlamps as the "Hella" decals are printed on clear decal paper,
Also there's a white decal to go on the boot lid before the rally plate.... yes I near forgot lol


Took it outside for a few photo's,

[borbase]

[mcm motorsport]

Brilliant colin....loving the new signature

[daivideo]

Lovely model, you didn't go for the decal after all.

[newt5550]

Thats a stunner!

Cheers for the comments Lad's

Yeah David I started this one just as a test so I could try out a few new things,
I have decals here to help build the other Bosch models,

If anyone is building this model you may want to know that the decal placement sheet that comes with the decals is wrong!!
After a bit of googling I have just found this out.... Fother Mucker!!


.

[rallypics]

VERY nice

[Cazzo]

.

Cheers Martin,

I've a bit of a discrepancy over 1 of the decals tho,
The decal placement sheet shows it going one way but I've found a photo showing it going the other way
I'm still happy enough with the way it turned out + I've learned a wee bit more lol

.

[rallypics]

Learnt a bit before one heads to Portstewart?

[Cazzo]

.

Yeah there's a few wee things I'd maybe change,
I'm going to try and get another one done this week but the 9-5 job is getting in the way

.

[focuswrc]

Class looking build Colin

[Ted Creedon]

That's some build, Colin. Excellent stuff.

[Cazzo]

.

Cheers Lads much appreciated

I've been waiting 2 days for the sun to come out so I could take a photo of the model outside,
Today the sun came out!! lol






If I get a bit of free time this week I'll start stripping a few bases to make up another model or two
