I'm not a huge fan of rally cars but the big T has made some stunning cars of late.  The latest that caught my attention was the "206".  I had originally chosen to feature this model as the Valentino Rossi "Michelin" car, but I picked up the wrong model 206. I took a lot of care building this model, as blemishes and marks show up on shiny car bodies, and I think I've done a good job.  The model is finished in Humbrol enamels, Alclad, and with extra help from lots of decals solutions to get those red markings around the curves of the 206, finished off with a couple of coats of Tamiya clear.

Unfortunately, Richard Burns passed away on the 25 November this year, losing a two year battle to a brain tumour.  I finished this model not long before.  As a tribute to a great rally driver, I offer this model of his Championship Winning Car.

Enjoy.
