Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 This was a 16yr WIP. The engine/rear sus was done 16yrs ago, the rest was completed on a site that is now gone, so no WIP pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Z Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Man, Rider, I am really liking the models you are posting. I have a particular liking of 1:12 F1 models. I don't have this one. Is it OOB or did you add things to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 This turned out very well. I think you put the intake trumpet screens on in the wrong order. Some are taller than others, to follow the height of the stacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 This turned out very well. I think you put the intake trumpet screens on in the wrong order. Some are taller than others, to follow the height of the stacks. Thanks for the props. It does look like that doesn't it, the stacks are the same height, IIRC it was mostly caused from me not cutting the screens properly way back then. Thank guys for checking out my builds and the comments. Sorry fo only posting completed pic, all the WIP pics were lost when the forum was shut down.

curt raitz Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 This is one of the finest 1/12 scale plastic model kits ever produced. I've built a couple of these. You did an excellent job on building it! Keep on building sir... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Rollins Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Wow- that is a very nicely detailed build. And kudos on keeping up with all the parts that long!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks Derick, it did have it's issues. Decals needed replacing, no amount of sun bleaching would clear them up, and the body cowl had to be replaced. The original was bowed pretty bad, when I attempted to repair it I messed it up pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
