Dave B Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was lucky enough to have a mate of mine pick up this along with a Nissan R382 Gp 7 car for me. Both are old motorised kits manufactured by Otaki but build in to reasonable models. I had to make the wheel centres for the Toyota as it came with the Nissan wheels, cheaper to manufacture that way I guess. I scratch built one centre, moulded it and then cast 4. I cut out the incorrect wheel centre and epoxied these into place. The decals were ###### so my same mate that found the kits for me also made me the decals (thanks again Phil K). Finished in auto acrylic pure white & a home mixed dark blue, clear coated & polished out. Tks for looking Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcar32 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wonderful to see something unexpected, as much as I loved the McClarans, Lolas, Chapparrals, and shadows. Was not aware of this car. Thanks for posting it and a job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ed Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I've seen the kit on ebay and wondered how it would turn out. Nicely Done. Would you have a shot looking stright into the rear to see how (what) the detail there is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's a nice looking car . Definetly reminiscent of the McLarens . What scale is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Tks guys, appreciate the comments. Ed - Don't have a rear end pic at the moment. Basic rear suspension, exhaust pipes & out of scale gearbox that I shortened & added a cast Fujimi Ford GT Mk11 to the end. Will take a pic next weekend & post. Bob - Scale is 1/24th. Pretty accurate body wise but interior, motor etc not that good as it allows for batteries, electric motor, gears, etc. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Didn't post this one originally due to the mesh in the rear cooler not be square. Have yet to correct it. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
