Ajay Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I haven't posted for awhile due to my parents both being ill not leaving a lot of time for modelling but but I've made a start on these two. The first one will be a street version:- Wheels are panasports with stretchwall tyres (both from Scale Production.For the second one I wanted stock wheelarches so the bubble arches have been hacked off and the stock arches built up from plastic sheet - I can see a lot of filling & sanding in the near future !. I'll post more progress as I make it but it may be slow.Thanks for looking and sorry for the poor picsAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublin boy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Looking forward to both, but especially the standard body version, it would look great as an RS 2000, if you could get decals for it, I'd even be happy to see a basic 1100cc Mk1Keep it up Andy.

Scale Production are doing a resin engine bay with a choice of BDA or Lotus engine. This could get expensive !CheersAndy Edited May 5, 2016 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaissance are doing a set to replicate the F&F6 car. Quick search of ebay uk iand the best price I can find is £37.00 incl postage.

Ajay Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the interest guys, I've made a bit of progress on the stock wheel arch version, slow work as there's lots of filling & sanding involved. Still very rough and ready but I'm fairly satisfied with them.Also got the Scale Production transkit in the post - I'll just be using the engine bay as Ill be using the Lotus Twin cam engine from the Tamiya Lotus Europa. and also got rid of the extra instrument binnacle on the dash as I want a close to stock interior Thanks for lookingAndy Edited June 5, 2016 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks great Andy. You should show it to Scale Production and see if they might cast it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 That looks very good with those stock wheel openings! That's the way they should have done it already at Belkits I think. Very nice work with that conversion, if there was a reasonable priced resin copy of one of those I'd pick one up. That looks so much better than the rally version.
