    I use silver coated/plated aluminum jewelry wire. It comes in rolls in these sizes .015, .020, .025, and .032" I use .025 for the upper hard lines and .06o OD copper tube for the fittings on the distribution block. I got mine from Michaels here in Canada but most box hobby craft stores should carry something similar. I can't remember what I paid but I have what is probably a lifetime supply for under $30.00 CDN BTY Thank you for the kind words.

    As does your Vega Daniel, thanks for the kind words.

    Thank you Bob, I'm just trying to give this one a bit of attitude as an active racer.

    Thank you very much Marcos for the kind words, coming from you that means a lot. Just looked at your Pro Mod post it looks fantastic!
  5. Ian McLaren
    Thanks Barry, lots of little pieces and details to clean up but it is progressing steadily.

    Amazing model Marcos, the design, detail and execution speaks to your talents. Very well done my friend!

    The chassis is starting to come together, a fair amount left to do, but getting there.

    Drag chute assembly and release cables ready for install. Remove before flight flags will be attached as one of the last items on the car.
  9. Ian McLaren
    The car is looking great! Love the name and where it came from. The altered is going to be Psychotic Reaction.

    Thanks Daniel, Using the RB Motion's banjo fittings on the piano wire is ideal.

    Injector hat ready to put on the engine. I got the hat from Nick Bradshaw (great product) but everything else is scratch built
  12. Ian McLaren
    Some of the engine details finished. Please note that the engine does not look brand new I am adding some weathering to the model to make it appear to be used but not abused.

    Thank you for the kind words Bob. I thought it might be of some interest how a clean sheet phantom design could be evolved using real world design criteria. My aim was this could be a real car, it just isn't. I'm doing this one for fun with none of the attendant stress and pressures that come from building replicas of real cars, still putting in a fair amount of detail just not obsessing over it.

    Two thumbs way up!

    Painting and assembly now underway, although it does not show well in the photo the wing is Pearl White with gold leaf lettering (Slixx)
  16. Ian McLaren
    I like the graphics
  17. Ian McLaren
    Electronics suite and instrument panel being wired and set in place
  18. Ian McLaren
    Thanks Daniel, but the blue hat will be back but on a different project with a much more appropriate paint scheme.
  19. Ian McLaren
    Thank you. Stephen here is a picture of some progress on the injector
  20. Ian McLaren
    Both of the scoops you have made look very good but the second one is the more typical style found at the local track or points meets where we normally saw Super Gas run.
  21. Ian McLaren
    The body is really starting to come together, well done
  22. Ian McLaren
    Sorry to hear this. The Carpal tunnel is normally not a big deal, both myself and my wife have had the surgery. She was back to work the next day typing, but I was about a week and a half before I could do anything significant, but some use of the hand pretty much from the second day, and just under a month back to close to normal. The nerve thing I have no experience with. Here's hoping for your speedy recovery, keep us informed.
  23. Ian McLaren
    Changing the injector hat, this one goes better with the final vision of the car.
  24. Ian McLaren
    Thanks Danial, I like this one too, but it really does not go with the intended color scheme. It is actually for another build with a very distinct color scheme, think 7up.
  25. Ian McLaren
    Thank you Randy for the kind words. There is a ways to go yet on this one.
