MG Metro 6R4, the 36th 1000 Lakes Rally 1986 (decals 1:24, Mf zone)

A decal set in 1:24 scale from the Czech maker Mf zone for a model of the MG Metro 6R4. It captures the colors of the special from the 36th running of the Finnish 1000 Lakes Rally in 1986. It holds the sponsor livery, the race numbers and the markings of the Toivonen / Wrede crew. It is a standalone accessory without a model or paints.

The real subject and the crew

The MG Metro 6R4 was a British Group B special with a naturally aspirated V6 mounted in the middle and all-wheel drive, unusual among mostly forced-induction rivals. The 1000 Lakes Rally is the famous fast Finnish gravel event. The car in this set was driven by Harri Toivonen with C. Wrede as co-driver.

Use and tips

• Apply the decals onto a smooth gloss clear coat so that no matte outline appears.
• Let the clear coat cure, release the decal in warm water and slide it onto a wetted surface.
• Use softeners so that they settle onto the edges and the pressed detail, and apply a final clear coat.

Who the set is for

• Modelers and collectors of the Group B era.
• Fans of British and Finnish rally history.
• Builders of historic rally specials.

The package holds decals only. The model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
