1970 Chaparral Camaro Trans-Am

Looks really good Phil, I love the TransAm racers, I just don't build them and I'm not sure why!! Dave B -
This is my take on the early GT40 GT/102. Based on two earlier Cox slot car bodies, one provided the sills, I have built it retaining it's slot car roots by using the original interior. The wheels are from the re release of the earlier Revell GT40 and the tyres are resin Dunlop Racing's from my parts box. Decals are Patto's. My only fault was that, while reviewing my reference material to apply the decals, I realised the rear engine cover deck should have been white and flat black!! Tks for looking Dave B

About a month ago I was given two well used Cox GT40 slot car bodies. One had the front of the front wheel arches opened up the other had the front of the rear wheel arches opened out. Luckily the sills on the first mentioned were untouched so I was able to remove them and graft them onto the the second mentioned body.. Not all the glass was there, and what was had to be carefully removed by scribing the edges, there was a lot of glue holding some them on!! Between the two I had enough glass. After sanding and polishing the glass it has come up respectable. This model will be built as the #140 car at Nurburgring and will not be fine detailing, instead staying true to it's slot car roots. I have removed the dashpanel so I could deepen it and make it more realistic. Just have to decide which set of wheels to use, the realistic silver painted Dunlop racing shod set or the flashy wider Goodyear shod set!! Decisions, decisions. Tks for looking Dave B

This is my take on the Ford France entered GT40 roadster raced at Le Mans in 1965. It retired on lap 11 with a broken gearbox. The model is based on an old slot car body, possibly Monogram, fitted onto a Fujimi GT40 chassis and using Monogram 427 Cobra Halibrand wheels and tyres. I haven't done any of the fine detailing required for an accurate conversion, instead paying homage to it's slot car roots. Painted in auto acrylic with decals by Patto's. Regarding the interior colour, Ronnie Spain's tome, 'GT40 an individual history and race and record', states the interior trim was black however a small publication by John S Allen shows GT/108 with a well worn blue interior suggesting that most of it was original. I have used poetic license and have opted to go with a blue interior!! Tks for looking Dave B
