Heller 1/24 rally Citroen DS3

I bought this model form £17.50 as a test piece for my new Dspaie electric sander and polishing kit. It is quite basic but serves a purpose. I have decided to make my own transfers on a fictional rally car with me driving it to try and spruce the model up.

As the body was the main part I needed to test on. I primed up the body and decided that red would be the best colour use so I painted it then used gloss clear. Once this dried I went trough each step of the polishing kit and think it came out really shiny and was easy to use.





Once I was happy with this I decided it was time to start the rest of the model so at this point I primed up the other sprue. And then painted the first steps.

While doing this I also made up my personalised transfers on my pc just to add a bit of detail to the car.
