A full inbox review of this beautiful kit from Belkits. To see the 2019 version go here.. Rally Car minatures • Belkits Hyundai i20 wr... and give him a sub.
Great review Nigel. I have purchased some in the past moulding etc really nice but the instructions were poor in my opinion and good to hear that I others thought so a as well so good to see they have improved. The Skoda had the deicing strips moulded into the clear parts so very impressive it was just those instructions 😮. May have a dabble again after seeing this.
Belkits getting bad reviews?!?!? I have a couple, I've found they are very complete models. Only real "ding" I could give was on the Ford Fiesta (which was their first kit) because they got the rear glass wrong for the car they were representing... technically it was correct for the production Fiesta, just not the particular car in question. The other kit I have, the VW Polo, needs absolutely nothing in the way of aftermarket or detail parts... like said, very complete.
Yeah.. seen some reviews saying they have poor instructions, bad decals and soft moulding but since the new shape Fiesta they improved. In my opinion they're all lovely, but just not Tamiya standard, however.. they seem to have reversed that situation.. this i20 is gorgeous.
The flag you could not identify is Estonia. If you do build the kit then please could you do that version as Ott Tanak is my wife's second cousin ! What happens to your models when they are completed ? I would be happy to make a donation to a charity of your choice in return for a Nigel build of this kit given the family connection.

Belkit instructions are shocking. Far too dark and hard to see. The instructions for this kit look to have improved.
👍
