In 1986 the Gr.B continued to dominate the rally scene, as in the European championship. In the Ypres rally held in Belgium there was a close 3-way fight between the local drivers... and the tobacco brands, since the podium was dominated by the colors of Belga and Bastos. In third place was the beautiful Metro 6R4 by Marc Duez, whose decoration has been reflected in a complete decal sheet by Reji, including the thin red bands for the color change areas to facilitate the painting of the bodywork, and other details like the sticky tape used at the rally to hold down one of the rally plates.

Matte blue color tone from the Tamiya Color Lacquer Paint range, consisting of a fine lacquer like the one used in the brand's sprays. They have the main advantage of drying in a short time and offering a highly resistant finish. The bottle includes 10 ml of paint.
