  1. Interior/engine/chassis for them. Not a lot of detail. But not a lot can be seen either.
  2. The wheels are done. Metal rims and center nuts, resin spokes. I used LP-40 Metallic Black followed by clear flat.
  3. The last few brass parts were added before priming and painting the bodies. TS-26 Pure White for the 48 car and for the 29 car I used an enamel blue I mixed for the Sunoco Camaro that I didn't care for at the time as a starting point, but I tinted it with TS-72 Clear Blue to look more like the Porsche photos I have.
  4. The roll bars are bent from wire provided in the kits. I could not get solder to work with them so I used CA to hold the two pieces of each one together.
  5. Moderators: I inadvertently started this thread in the wrong category as these are road course race cars. I am unable to delete the posts so if you'd like this in the proper place please move it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
  6. The rear frame is PE brass in both kits, but not the same configuration. The one for the Solar camera car is on the right. It was very fragile so I soldered it up for strength. The other one seemed to be made from a much stiffer brass even though they are both the same thickness.
  7. These models are the same car at two different times in its life (Chassis #022). Before it was the dark blue #29 Solar Productions camera car for the movie Le Mans in the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans driven by Jonathon Williams and Herbert Linge, it was the white #48 car at the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring driven by Peter Revson and Steve McQueen to second place. About this time last year I started building three Trans Am Camaros at the same time. It turned out to be a lot more work than I expected, yet here I am again doing something similar. With a little luck I'll have these two done by the next 24 Hours of Le Mans. 1/43rd scale Starter resin kits. The basic clean-up and scribing have been done and the brass winglets have been fitted to them.
  8. I deigned and printed them myself. (I run Scale-Master Decals.)
  9. Hot Wheels The real car was an open cockpit Can Am test. Now it has been restored to this more traditional configuration.
  10. Hot Wheels. I was just going to detail the engine and driver with paint, but the paint and graphics weren't very well done on this particular one. So I repainted it and made new decals.
  11. Hot Wheels. Looks a bit like a Mopar so I put a "Chevy" themed paint scheme on it. The colors are all Tamiya acrylics.
  12. All finished up. The antenna is leftover wire from a Fisher Model & Pattern kit; I'm not 100% sure but it might be stainless. The wiper is injection molded although the instructions show it as PE. It is what came in my kit. WIP:
  13. All the decals are on now; it took about two weeks adding a few at a time a few times each day. It's been cleared too.
  14. Here's all three. If I build another one of these kits it will be a curbside. I'm glad I did the full interior on these, but they are a lot easier to build as curbsides and the interior detail is just OK.
  15. The Hot Wheels car is finally done. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/194944-scca-camaro-trans-am-set/#comment-2925331
  16. Last but not least, the Hot Wheels car is finished. It, like the Sunoco car, did not need the magnet treatment to get the body to fit over the chassis, just the trimming of the dash.
  17. The chassis for the Hot Wheels car is done.
  18. Less than one week until the 25th Annual Cruisin' For A Cure Model Car Contest in Costa Mesa at the Fairgrounds this Saturday! We are inside the Costa Mesa Building (like previous years). There have been some changes to the categories, but most are still the same. Please see the list below. A big thank you to Tamiya for again sponsoring us and providing awesome kits that will be awarded along with trophies for the winners.
  19. The windows on the Hot Wheels were installed using the same process as I used on the Sunoco car, CA all the way. That's six windows in a row (on just these cars) and not a single smear or any fogging.
  20. And now the Sunoco car is finished. For some reason the body fit quite a bit better over the chassis than the Rain-X car did even though they are the same exact parts. I did the same adjustments to the dash on this as the last one too, but the Rain-X body just didn't fit without magnets to pull the sides in and down; I did not need them on the Sunoco car.
  21. Thanks Mark! They are 1/25th scale.
  22. The chassis for the Sunoco car is done.
  23. And now the Rain-X car is done.
  24. The Rain-X car is done. WIP Thread:
