J4Juliet AuthorLooking at my stash, the oldest kits have only been in there for about a year. After a quick calculation, I should be able to build all my stash by the end of 2027 so there is hope for me yet!
A lot of my favourite builds have been ebay finds so I'm not going to completely stop looking. I have a couple of alerts for specific kits I really want to build but the rest of my wishlist I can live without.
I can quit any time! ...
Who am I kidding? I'm an addict too 😄

Yngve NYour right about people looking underneath the model, but I'm literally a neighbour to Sweden 😬 small town but nowhere else in Norway do they sell as many Volvo as here. I've got a resin print of a Volvo engine and showed pictures to my nephew. Two minutes after sending pictures of a couple of pieces he answered "Doesn't this look like part of an Amazon engine?" 🤣

J4Juliet AuthorHa, on the bright side it sounds like you should be able to get help finding out the details. I ended up just repeatedly watching the same video clip of this car for the few seconds you get to see underneath it 😄

BozzerJ4, I can still remember the sound of the dump valve and the turbo spooling around. Some of my buddies had some cool cars though. In the 90's, I hung around with some guys who were in a VW club. It was like a custom show, outside my flat, some nights. The local kids used to hang out on the front, to see what turned up next? It was very handy for security lol

J4Juliet AuthorBozzer, that sounds amazing! Most of my experience of cars is through video games. Only one or two of my friends had cars growing up and I didn't get my first car until well into my 30s.

BozzerI likened it, to driving a luxury go-cart. They hug tight bends, and are great for our British country roads. Parking was never a problem either. I upgraded to a Vauxhall chevette hatchback, then scrapped that for a MKIII Ford Escort. It was like a larger Mini, but the handling wasn't as sharp? Owned front wheel drives, ever since.

George WilliamsNice Mitsubishi, Juliet, I think the Tamiya rattle cans are pretty good.

J4Juliet AuthorStefan, that is exactly my philosophy. 🙂
George, I've tried spray paint on other projects and made such a mess with them I've never tried them on my models.

J4Juliet AuthorOh yeah that was difficult. You can't really see on these photos, but there are a few places I had to patch it with some red paint.

J4Juliet AuthorHa, I've not been raiding your stash. If it is 1/24 scale and rally related I've either built it or want to build it 😄

J4Juliet AuthorDigging through some old files I found this video. It was mostly me playing round with time lapse software so it only covers half the build.

J4Juliet AuthorThanks I was worried because some of the decals are huge and I wasn't sure how well they would turn out. The 87 Tour de Corse version is on my wish list too. I'll probably get round to building it at some point down the line if they still make the kit by then.

J4JulietHi,
I was wondering if anyone could give my any beginner's tips for making custom decals?
I don't have a colour printer so I think my options are either buy some decal paper and take it to a local print shop or try and find a UK based company (to avoid customs charges) that will make them for me. The latter option feels like the best option if anyone has any recommendations for decent companies that do this.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Spanjaardah, forgot to mention, if you buy a laser printer, they usually come with the toner included, so you do not need to buy that from day one. but be aware that some brands (all?) sell the machines with toner cartridges that contain much less toner that the ones that you will buy later, obviously to ensure you buy some soon 😉
2 11 May, 15:52
J4Juliet AuthorThanks for all the detailed info. I'll probably start on an older car, that only requires a few decals, to see how it goes. Then I can see if I want get a printer or research companies that will do it for me 😄.

Raúl GonzálezKudos for the effort, I've made one and it's absolutely horrible kit for such an interesting topic. Great result!
2 May, 20:54
J4Juliet AuthorI'm glad it wasn't just me who struggled with it. I took a look at your model and using another kit as a donor is a really great idea. At least you got the right wheels and all the decals 😄
3 May, 08:21
Raúl GonzálezYeah I was lucky to find that chassis by chance, but the fitmen wasn't very great... About the decals I had the same issue, looks like MF hasn't solved it, I just design them and printed by myself since they don't provided any solution, I'm glad that at least I get the wheels right.

J4Juliet AuthorPicking the colour was quite interesting because there are only about 3 colour photos of this car and given the age of them it is difficult to tell what the original colour was. Looking at other models, people have picked colours ranging from bright orange to almost tan brown. I didn't take a photo of it but I did try various different mixes of paints on the body work. In the end I thought pure Tamiya copper (XF-6) looked the closest to the original.
The base Ebbro kit for the road car (Citroën DS19 (Ebbro 25005, 1:24)) is excellent. It has a great level of detail especially on the engine. The opening bonnet and door are really nice too. It even has adjustable ride height on th rear to model the hydropneumatic suspension. It all fitted together easily. I don't think the kit is still in production unfortunately I managed to track this one down on eBay from a model shop in Japan what would ship it internationally.
The Renaissance decal kit (Citroën DS19 #176 (Renaissance TK24/422, 1:24)) was nice too. It is obviously just a few decals but it did come with a colour print out of the photos of the car.
Given the rally cars of this era were pretty close to stock there wasn't too much modification required to the kit. I removed the wheel trims and the wing mirrors. I customised the brake lights as the kit had slightly different ones. I added the extra driving lights which were actually included in the base kit. The extra fog lights beneath the bumper are from a Mk1 Ford Escort. Then just a bit of left over seat belt for the bonnet strap finished it off.

J4Juliet AuthorOh yeah Colin McRae captured the public's imagination in a way that I don't think any other rally driver has, if you ask people to name a rally driver I think most people are going to name him. I think this is down to his always pushing to the limit style of driving but I also think that game had a big impact on his reputation too. That game was where it all started for me, I still have the goal of building all the cars from that game. I have built 6 out of the 12 and I have another 3 in my stash, the difficult one is going to be finding a kit of a Škoda Felicia.

J4Juliet AuthorThanks. It it Gloss Ultramarine Blue (Revell 51) I know it is the wrong blue. I chose it to match my very first kit I built which was the 1998 Impreza WRC and I used the wrong blue on that kit as it was the closest shade of blue stocked by the shop I bought it from.

J4Juliet AuthorThank you, I think this car often gets overshadowed by the later Imprezas but I do rather like it with its squeaky little turbo blow off noises.
