Chaparral 2D
Smilesperhour replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Oil cooler and the engine look great!!!! I think open upn the brake ducts -
Still playing with this. I tried to open up the vent like on the real car unfortunately the blade made such a big cut that it looks a bit weird and distorted the thin remaining plastic. Don't worry this is not the final paint and I'll be stripping it back for another go. I've also done 1 practice go at masking the rear screen to create the real cars soft top. It went okay and I know what to do to get the finish I want. Also tried to make the dash have a wood effect again, the dash will be redone from scratch as holes need filling and the new wheels hole re drilling I've seen I need to do a better job filling bumper kit holes too

Ferrari 333SP

So much small details and well finished!!! Looking great -
Hi guys, Cobra is very nearly done (just need to redo the bonnet) So I started another airfix car to practice a few more things on. This time building the 1967 Daytona 24 Hours Class winning TR4a. Kits airfix and will pretty much be out the box. Here is where I've got to after a couple days, again some learnings. Realising patience in waiting for paint to dry and trying to get too much glued at once. Did try to open up the front grill and will be converting it from LHD to rhd. Dash will be wooden like real car. Some of the interior is guessed as couldn't find reference photos. Tried white piping on the interior too

So the missing wheels, steering wheel and dashboard where solved using a junked diecast AC ace and wheels from an old best Ferrari that was in a bad way. -

1:43 Monogram Cobra Build
Smilesperhour replied to Smilesperhour's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Been having a play with couloirs and I've picked racing white from tamiya. I like that it's a creamy white. Got lucky with being able to use my future father in law's garage to try some more spraying. This will be being stripped though as it needs some more smoothing out plus I need to sort out that red hood! -

Very nice, a very important little car -
1:43 Monogram Cobra Build
Smilesperhour replied to Smilesperhour's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
The exhaust on one side has been cut short which means the headers don't sit quite far enough forward hence it has a slightly squiffy look to the engine in the frame. I've decided to go for a clubman (cobra raced after its prime) style look. The rear of the body has been almost melted in places given a hand beaten panel look like a racer that's seen better days and I think I'm gonna keep it as part of the cars riches to rags racer look. -

Your cobra looks ace too, think I'm gonna go for a club racer. Thinking about modifying the hood with a scoop
