da Speedinger Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Time to share what I'm working on currently: a 1/25 replica of Becks Kustoms F132 from the computer game Need4Speed Payback, which is a kithbash of a '32 Ford 3window coupe and a Formula1 race car. Here's the boxart of the 2 kits i have chosen for my build: I plan to paint it like this one: Therefore i'll call her RB32. And this is how far i'm at the moment: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I like it! Very cool work!. A curbside or will you be shoehorning an engine in there somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Love it! I've been seeing more kitbash of race cars and common cars lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Rob. Curbside, no engine in this revell McLaren. But i opened and hinged the doors to offer a sight on the interior, where you can spot a rollcage and a pair of very cool scratch built Kirkey lightweight racing seats.

Ensis Ferrae Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Shame you couldn't do a "full" version instead of just curbside. . . Would be wicked cool to have a front-engined front wheel drive car AND a mid engine rear drive car, all in the same (I guess technically, it'd be an AWD??) That aside, this is certainly a unique build and looking pretty good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatMan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I've seen a couple of other builds using that same theme but yours looks better to me. Well done! Edited July 18, 2019 by MeatMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down with that paint scheme! The selection for your actual paint color will be critical. But I'm sure you already know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrm Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Really cool project. I love the idea. However, I think the rear of the car needs to be longer and lower, in order to stay in the spirit of F1. Right now the rear looks “bunched up”. Part of the issue is that it is trying to stay true to the Deuce proportions, but it impossible, because it wasn’t a rear engined car. That rear wing needs space and air flow to do anything. Just my two cents. And I am just expressing my personal opinion, trying to offer constructive criticism. Not putting down the craftsmanship or the effort invested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
