Wolfangel Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I should have been posting this as I went along, but I didn't. So....here are some pictures of the process. The car is finished....I just wanted to show a few pictures I took along the way. These pictures are of when the chassis was actually completely done....but I decided to pull the front suspension off of it and redo the tires (going from MH Racemasters to Goodyear) along with adding chrome valve covers and redo the spark plug wiring.

Wolfangel Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) And here is the finished product. This is my FIRST time ever doing a 1/24 scale model to this level of detail. The details are as follows......spark plug wires, fuel lines, brake lines, sheet aluminum chassis side panels, aluminum strips on fuel cell, parachute release cord and chute cables tied to the frame, seat belts made from tape and tied to the frame rails, scratch built injector lines, headers braces, photo-etch throttle linkage, tire decals front and rear, modified the interior "tins" to sit body lower. This took me about a week and a half to build and I am very happy with how it came out. Edited November 18, 2022 by Wolfangel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sflam123 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 BEAUTIFUL!! The paint on that is PITA to mask off esp. at the nose. Fantastic job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altered Ego Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I am impressed with how this turned out and even more impressed with some of the details. However, like cobraman, I am completely blown away that this only took a week and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Very nicely detailed build. I know the paint scheme on this one is tricky. You did a bang up job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually build 2 models a week sometimes. This is my 20th build for this year. The way I did the masking was......I cut out the decal that goes on the whole side of the car.....used that as a template for masking off the white. It worked perfect and actually came out better than I thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
