This is the last kit I have finished but it was in 2014. At the beginning it was a very simple kit from Provence Moulage. I expected to do a very fast work but I quickly decided to add some details. First I improved the front side by doing some holes for the grille, the turn signals and so on. On the rear side I removed the resin lights to replace it by clear parts that I molded. I worked a lot on the interior to add the roll cage, some details that I supposed to be but I didn't have enough documentation. After the paint was done, I discovered a video on Youtube which present the real car which is now in Australia. I contacted the owner to request pictures. He answered me with more than 40 pictures of many details. Then I dismounted the interior to modify it. Especially on the rear area. At the same time, the body was painted and the main decals were placed. I added wires and pipes on the floor panel and many other details thanks to the pictures I got from Australia.
The dashboard covered by carbon fiber decals Then i could create the correct rollcage. I also had to create the wheels by machining with my small drill. After that the model could be have been put on its wheels and the last small parts glued. Here are the pictures from a shooting under natural light. |

You have enviable skills  What a vision and eventual execution of them. We're so fortunate to have some really talented modellers on board! |

Congratulations on your attention to detail. Tracking down the car's current owner shows dedication - I'm sure he'd be impressed with your work.

Fantastic work. I wasn't aware the car was in Australia - I wish the owner would bring it out to an Historic event.

Absolutely superb, I have zero modelling skills so am in awe of your talent. I bet the owner of the car would be amazed at the model that you made.

You have enviable skills What a vision and eventual execution of them. We're so fortunate to have some really talented modellers on board! Thanks to congratulate me like that. I think that I still a lot of things to learn. And if I had more time I could invest a 3D resin printer. It could help me to create some detailled parts. Fantastic work, took it to the next level! Thanks Tom. Each mounting I try to improve my knowledge thanks to the examples I can see on the forums. Congratulations on your attention to detail. Tracking down the car's current owner shows dedication - I'm sure he'd be impressed with your work. Thanks. Yes he was, I think. I sent him pictures of the result and link to the first french forum where I posted the work. Fantastic work. I wasn't aware the car was in Australia - I wish the owner would bring it out to an Historic event. Thanks. I don't know if he finished the restoration.

Excellent work, I've always thought that we should detail the interior even when we cannot see much of it.

Only just seen this - love those big aero 80s tourers. The French touring championships had some pretty interesting cars.

Yes, I'm working since 2018 on 2 Audi 200 Turbo which ran on 1986 and 1987 but not yet finished. I really like the idea of change a street car into a fast race car. That was the purpose of this championship. And there is not a lot of modellers who work on this theme. |

That is very smart indeed. Nice to see all the detail inside the car too. Great skill. Excellent work.
