1:24 MG Metro 6r4 Group B sponsored by Solifer - 1987

The real subject

Under a body that in shape recalls the small city Metro, the MG Metro 6R4 special hides a full-fledged Group B competition car: a V6 mounted behind the crew and drive to all four wheels. The engine was naturally aspirated, that is without forced induction, and that was unusual among the specials of the time. The widened fenders, a wing at the nose and a second one above the rear give the car an appearance that you will not mistake for an ordinary hatchback.

What the sheet offers

This is a separate marking sheet in 1:24 scale for the markings of one car, specifically in the version with the markings of the sponsor Solifer. How many elements are on the sheet, how large they are and which kit they are cut for is stated by the manufacturer in the instructions to the set.

• 1:24 scale, the markings of the competition MG Metro 6R4
• the version with the markings of the sponsor Solifer
• an alternative to the sheet from a kit and a replacement for a yellowed sheet alike
• the extent of the sheet and the placement of the elements are stated in the manufacturer's instructions

Application tips

First verify in the instructions whether the elements are self-adhesive or waterslide decals; soaking would destroy a self-adhesive film, whereas a waterslide decal cannot be applied without water. Prepare the base smooth and glossy, as on flat paint the edges of the film are visible. Cut the individual elements off as close to the artwork as possible, seat them and press the air out with a soft cloth from the center outward. Once dry, go over the body with a final varnish.

Who it is for

For modelers who build competition specials of the 1980s in 1:24 scale and want to finish a car in a particular sponsor version. The model, paints, glue and varnish are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
