Wow! What a beautiful build! Looks fantastic! I'd seen this in my local model shop and thought it looked good but until i saw your unboxing vid and the build, wasn't sure if i should get it. Having watched you, I don't think I would do it justice! Really impressive build mate, the decal job is amazing and your commentary is spot on. Anybody could follow you and use it as a guide to build their own kit. Thankyou for posting, really enjoyed watching. Have been catching up on your older video's too. Regards Bobby
Thanks mate, very kind. If I were you, I'd get something simpler and cheaper but similar to practice on. Maybe a Tamiya rally car, then try this one. I'm sure you'd do a great job
So, ive just finished building this model myself, without this video as a constant source of reference and the hints and tips you provide during it, I wouldn’t have achieved the finish I now have on mine, this video has been such a useful tool and I did try some of your techniques, particularly using sharpies which is inspired!. I’m an experienced model maker myself and I’ve never thought to use those, I will definitely take that into my future builds!. I wanted to thank you for this video and wanted you to know how helpful it has been!. Many thanks again! 🙂👍🏻
A really lovely comment which made my day - thanks, Kevin. I'm really glad the video was useful - this isn't a simple kit so hopefully it will continue to help others in the future as well. Cheers!
@@BOABModels I see that you have also built the Audi A4 BTCC, that kit is on my list of to do’s so I will definitely use that video as reference too!. Thanks again! 🙂👍🏻
Super build. In the supertouring series, i love this s40, wanted to have a diecast model of it, but simply too expensive.. i would love to build this nunu kit somewhere in future. Nunu should consider bring Jason Plato’s green british racing Megane with the Nescafe livery..
Lovely work, probably one of your best, I’m currently building my one but being one of the 41 on the go it’s a bit slow :) roll cage is fiddly I agree and I’ll take another look at the chassis as I thought it was semi gloss black as well although I’ve not painted it yet. Shame the BTCC cars altered the following year so you can’t build that version from the kit unless lots of modifications are done. I’ll be using the front window sun tint strip but that’s me :) model on
Thanks very much, Sarah Jane. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Wow, 41 is a lot but I know everyone works differently. I struggle to do more than one at a time mainly because I run out of memory with all the video clips!! 😅
Another great build from you Thomas, looks amazing and I'm sure your explanations throughout will definitely help anyone interested in building this kit. Well done and for me, it'll be amazing if Nunu releases JTCC cars too. Wish to build this and the A4 someday ☺️👍🏼
That is looking good Thomas. I got the Audi still in the box,but i will buy this Volvo also.Were those Volvo,s allways White as the maincolor from the body. When i see that Blue and Yellow,i think that Grey/silver from the Audi would go also very well as bodycolor. But those decals,there is no end comming on them,and that is still not my strongest thing.I may need a bucket of decal solution
Thank you, Jan. No, the S40 only ran this livery for one year before changing to silver and blue in 1998. I imagine someone will do those decals for this car or NUNU will release that version as well!
@@BOABModels ok super Thomas thank you for that info. So white it was and it will be then when i place my order this weekend. Again many thanks for the info.
It looks really nice, you did a great job on this one! I'd like to get it but the amount of decals and getting them to set over the bodywork is pretty daunting to me.
Thanks, Nick. I got this for Christmas so it took me a while to feel confident with how the decals all went on. Softening solution helped so much though.
Great build! This is the era of BTCC I really remember.
Thanks very much, Stu. Same here!
Phenomenal work. Those decals are a true test of patience.
Thanks, Ed. I had to build up my confidence before tackling them!
Nice! I'm very fond of that era for the BTCC!
Thank you! Same here!
Another great build Thomas. All those decals look tricky, but yet again you handled them with ease. Thanks for sharing your hard work as always!
Many thanks, I both love and hate the decalling process - it transforms the model but can so easily go wrong! Haha
Very nice looking build. You did a great job with the decals. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Great build! Such a difficult decal job, you did well. I wish companies would release more cars of this era of the BTCC.
Thanks so much, Gus. Yeah, I totally agree. My dad had a Vectra around this time and I'd love to make one of them.
Lovely job on that racing seat mate, harness looks great.
Cheers!

Thanks 👍
Nice job Thomas!
Cheers, Richard!
That sure is a lot of decaling work. You made it look fantastic!
Cheers, uncle!
Very good build, this S40 is timeless
Many thanks! Yeah, I still see some on the roads too.
I’ve done the Nunu BTCC 1996 Audi, 1997 Volvo in Kelvin Burt’s livery and the Toyota Carina in 1994 . I’ll be doing the 1993 BTCC Carina Soon.
I'm interested in that Carina too, although I like it most in the Castrol livery which seems harder to find.
Very nicely down. I think NuNu should produce some Australian cars, from the Bathurst races and V8 car championship.
I know what you mean. I think Hasegawa has done versions from Bathurst

Thank you, I think the Megane is on their to do list. I think they are going to do kits of all the '90s BTCC winners.

Thanks so much, Karl. I can totally recommend these ones.
They already did release the 1994 JTCC Coronas in the Toms and Cerumo racing teams. The only one they haven’t done is the Object T Corona from 1994.

Looks great, have you got a link to the seatbelts please ?
Thanks - this is where I got them from www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=16360
Good car you’ve done! I wonder will you get the Nunu BMW 320i from the 1996 BTCC when I becomes available?
Thank you. Maybe, I definitely intend to get the Alfa 155 they are planning.
@@BOABModels so am I, I’ll be getting both the Alfa and BMW
Build more Supertouring cars
I plan to!
