This has been a real labor of love. This has been a three year project. The kit is by Starter and is built box stock. The first sheet of decals exploded in the water. I looked for a year until I found a set on Ebay. Then after sitting I miss placed the interior . I found it in another kit. Then just forgot I had the kit in my stash until finding it on Friday afternoon. With Memorial Day just passed I thought it was fitting. My hats off to all you vets out there. Cheers!

Well done. Building one myself now.

I just wish someone would do a kit. Maybe with Alonso racing something may pop up. Fingers crossed

True most new race cars are wraps. Cheaper to fix it there is damage. I use to do graphics for a few teams that raced it was all printed on a semi gloss vinyl . Test cars are wrapped see photo

Very nice...I need to get my own space

Thanks for the kind words everyone . Nacho Z where's that challenge car? My next build is going to have no decals or carbon!.

I just finished this , been a labor of love. It is the Panoz cup of noodles sponsored car that ran at Lemans. The kit is from Lemans Minatures. The decals are the hardest part of the kit. Each dragon is three separate decals. The hardest is the one that goes behind the drivers head. It has to lay over a bunch of different curves. The carbon fiber decals are from the kit and from Scale Motorsports. Tamiya paints were used .

I saw he had a few decal sets on ebay ,but not much more.

That looks really good. Well done

All we need now is just a good kit of one. COME ON TAMIYA !!!!

Very cool!!

Well done!!!!

Thanks everyone !! For taking the time to view and those that posted a reply.

The kit is now finished see under glass . I had to buy two kits. The first kit the glass did not fit. Revell did replace this. The wheels are to thick in the spokes. I thinned them down with some needle files. I didn't use the axles in the kit or the brakes. The brakes on mine are from a lambo gt3 kit. The centers just had to be drilled out. I re-drill the mounting location to lower the car. Front and rear. I heard of a body fit issue in the dash area so I sanded down the front lip of the dash (the one where it lays under the windshield and above the firewall. The is part of the roll cage that passes under the dash. I cut the cross bar off and the bar sat lower to the chassis . The intake in the back sits to high as well. I trimmed of the mounting tabs to make it sit lower . This way the hood sits nice and flat. When mounting the body,I glued the back to the aero tray and just a little on top of the firewall. If you glue the nose down to the chassis the hood does not fit in the front at all. The kit is very toy like ,but can be built into something nice. Scale Motorsports now has a full detail set for the kit. By the way I cut off the wart on the roof as the test verison pics I found did not have them. Carrera slot car has a nice set of wheels in 1/24 from one of there cars. Being in the Uk I'm sure you can get them easy. Just cut off the gear. Would love to see Le Mans live some day. Hope this helped if more info is needed send me a pm. Here's a finished photo .

Really a cool looking model. Great job!!

Very cool. Like the color.

Check out this place ffsmc productions... Great decals

The decals were some of the best that I've used. Very thin and lay down well.

With the side views added this one is finished

The finish is all decals. Scale Motorsports set. Thanks

This one is just about done , but still a few things too do. The side views need to be finished and a few extra decals. It took two kits to get it too this point. Lots of bent parts. Windows didn't fit. Any how ...

Very sad news. Rest in peace.

They looks great. I just wish they made more.

Here you go

If you can find the Hobby Design kit get it. It gives you the photo etch floors ,the window sliders for side windows (as on mine) . All the vent screens and brakes .
