Inspired by watching the Classic Rallying at the weekend,
I made a concerted effort to finish my two WRC rally cars that have been hanging around for months - and months.

The Tamiya Corolla and the cheaper Heller Mitsubishi Lancer.
They don't represent any particular car (spot the differences) - but hooray! they go on my very short finished list.

Hi Mr Dad,

Love these, and the subtle weathering really finishes them off...

I love those rally cars! To me they represent "racers" that a small budget person could someday own. For a time they were all out race cars and while I consider the Stratos an all-time beauty, it was no practical "daily driver" type car. Thanx for a pair of winners! Luv the light weathering. Excellent fotos too, thanx!

I envy you guys that can lay decals like that. Mine seem to never turn out right. Nice job.

Thanks everybody, your praise is much appreciated ...but it's thanks to this forum that I actually got the cars finished!

The Heller Mitsubishi kit isn't a very detailed kit, like Tamiya, but does make a nice tidy model.
I think I was lucky with the decals on the Corolla - but it did take 3 hours to sticker up!
