Jay Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) I got the OK from Ed from Revell to show this at the NNL East. So, I went to work and got it done just in time! I corrected the body and brought it up to 2016 aero specs and added 24 hours worth of track wear. There were two of these at the NNL East, mine and Dave Thibodeau's. His was at the Revell table and the one that Revell used for the box art. I believe Ed said these would be out around the end of the summer or early Fall,On to the build. I was going to detail the chassis more, but it's so simplified, I just added a few little things that can be seen peeking into the windows. **If anyone can get the pics to show up in the thread, be my guest... they will not upload from the URL.**The chassis before I glued the body down:https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1544/25754749914_4e25b590bf_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1502/25754763904_4c4a3843b7_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1558/26293408141_298fd78f1e_z.jpgThe completed model:https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1698/26325408282_ef9833bdf0_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1606/25812885244_7df7971fb0_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1568/25812901824_f994348878_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1468/26325404682_8ee7e4ab79_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1548/26325391562_14f11662f8_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1567/26144940610_3ddca87fb5_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1695/25815083193_565caacdbd_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1450/26144872880_8047800b0f_z.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1444/25812890124_6a43021973_z.jpg Edited April 19, 2016 by Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff B Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 This really caught my eye at NNL East. I only snapped about 10 pics at the show with my aging iPhone, and this build was one of them. These detail pics are incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angio21 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Jay, now that finally the kit is going to be released in Europe I'm considering a way to solve the problem of '16 decals and '15 body. The 2016 aero specs on your kit are very precise and perfectly shaped, did you build it on your own? How did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Superb build, so authentic! I saw the CR5 when at Le Mans a few yaers ago. In practice at the beginning of the Mulsanne Straight you could hear the CR5 coming before you saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
