BENETTON B195 1995 MICHAEL SCHUMACHER

One of the best liveried racing car ever, a perfect fit for the best racer ever. I just applied those Mild Seven letterings replacing the usual Benetton.

SUBARU IMPREZA WRC WINFIELD THIRY PREVOT 1997 CONDROZ-HUY RALLY

Now that Stephane Prevot navigates for Chris Atkinson in Asia Pacific Rally under Proton fleets, it reminds me of this beauty, at least to me.
This is the car driven to glory by Prevot longtime partner, Bruno Thiry in 1997 Condroz-Huy Rally in Belgium. I was fortunate to be able to convert the common 555 Subaru into such a rare model using Liatti's Monte Carlo and Racing43 decals. How I like to follow Belgium racers who always been backed by cigarette companies.

BMW 528i LUCKY STRIKE ETCC 1982 SPA 24 HOURS DELCOURT SWYSEN BAERT

Reconstructed from Gamma model. One of my earliest project, which uses a transkit I couldn't remember now. Have to fabricate roll cages and wheels on my own. Visibly rough in finishing, but happy to see it through with those beaming lucky 'stripes'.

OPEL ASCONA 400 BASTOS G. COLSOUL A. LOPES 1982 RALLYE MONTE CARLO

My first Schuco model, surprisingly stunning for a factory diecast. Fresh out of the box when the shots are taken.

SUBARU LEGACY RS CAMEL P.ERKLUND 1992 SWEDISH RALLY

I got its decals for quite sometime, but don't have the model sold cheap enough. Racing 43 kit was selling more than GBP50. My patience pays off when IXO start producing Chatroit's Portugal model. So here we are, after complete repainting, real stunning model

RENAULT CLIO MAXI BELGA B. MUNSTER 1995 YPRES RALLY

The elusive Clio that I grab from Ebay. I choose this one for its base color. I don't need to remove the base color and do repainting. It saves me heck of a time. I just use paint thinner to strip the factory decals.

Notice that decal on the chassis are all gone. After finish stripteasing this beauty, I just retrofit the whole assembly. The rear wing has been sprayed, same goes with the wheels.
The fun part begin. I put it back on the plinth that I can't be touching the model too much during decalling. Bit by bit I work on the decals, I normally put the large ones first to set correct positioning

Really enjoy looking at this colorful Belga livery. The end product? I will try to post it later.

Later is now, and here is the end product.

FERRARI F-2002 MARLBORO MICHAEL SCHUMACHER 2002 CANADIAN GP

One of many Hot Wheels Schumacher models that I have, this one is little different. I got his arm raised out of cockpit. The win in Canada was Ferrari's 150th. GP win. Then with aftermarket Marlboro decal, I am happy to have had this F2002 Canadian GP win to my collection

PEUGEOT 205 T16 BELGA DARNICHE / MAHE 1985 YPRES RALLY

Manage the get the old beaten up Vitessse. Complete dismantling, repainting and here we are. That famous Peugeot 205 Belga as entered in 1985 Ypres Rally. Driven by B. Darniche. So lucky to have that crisp and sharp decal from Austria

Another Darniche's 205 I would love to have would be this one, which was entered in 1985 Tour De Corse
