Brianl Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Always nice to move out of the Workshop & into the glassy bit I wanted to do another club racer & I wanted to do a camo paint job & something as typically British as the Europa seemed the go. Body & chassis are by Tamiya & the power plant, transmission & wheels are Indy car. I did the guards in evergreen sheet & scrap bits. Only sad bit was the decals. It has been a long time since I have built aircraft & the decals left over were pretty old. Close enough though. Brian [U
GTJUNIOR Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Turned out great. Love the camo paint scheme. If I had to criticise anything, it has to be the exhaust pipe sticks out to far in the back.
Kit Basher Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) That is way cool! I've always been a fan of Europas, and that one looks just plain mean! Edited January 6, 2016 by Kit Basher
Foxer Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I like that idea and it is a commendable execution ... the power plant choice is perfect!
Silver Foxx Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Nice work Brian , another of your great looking different builds .
Brianl Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 TonyYou are right! The exhausts are too long. I originally planned to mount the wing off the back of the gear box as per the Indy car setup with the exhaust exiting between two vertical fins but the wing took away the look of the rear body work so I went for something smaller. Unfortunately it would have meant major surgery to shorten the exhaust pipe at that stage so what you see is what you get!!Thanks for the good wordsBrian
spencer1984 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Awesome work! I think the longer pipe fits the car - it kind of follows the fighter plane theme you used.
