Chaparral 2H

[Dave B]

Have just finished my resin slush mould of Mini Exotics 2H.  A mate managed to pic up a unbuilt version and offered it to me so, being lazy, I took a quick silicon of the body and a one piece mould of a front and rear wheel/tyre assembly and a resin of the windscreen.  I've never tried a 2 piece mould, maybe I should one day!!  Anyway, after scratch building the rear wing and supports, front spoilers, interior, body deflectors and deepening the side NASA vents I have finally finished it.  I used MCG Dzus fasteners and luckily had a set of Fred Cady Chaparral decals  spare in the decal box. It's not perfect and doesn't reflect any particular event however it's nice to complete my Chappie collection.

Beautiful job on a really neat car. Saw this car race at Mid-Ohio in 69 or 70 with John Surtees at the wheel. Didn't work out to well.

Jim Hall would be proud-a rare car for sure

Nice model of one Jim Hall most abysmal can am cars...partially caused by Surtees himself, as he did not want to drive the machine as originally designed...with Surtees sitting in the enclosed car  only viewing through the perspex windows. They eventually abandoned the car for a McLaren during the season.

Nicely built, cool car.

Put the word "Chaparral" in a subject line, and I come a-runnin'.  Except for the 2H, I think all of them are some of the best looking racing cars ever built.

Most of the stable is built in 1/18th scale ... but I just can't afford them ... otherwise I'd own them all.

Very nice, clean build.

Very well done! I just finished the Otaki 28th version, very basic, but it's all I had Yours is really good! 

[Silver Foxx]

Very nice work on this , great scratch building , you have a lot of building skills .

[Phildaupho]

Nice build of a weirdly interesting yet flawed racecar.

Nice work, always good to see a Chaparral

 

[Danno]

Love them Chappies!  Your 2H is very nice, indeed!

A very nice build, the scratch built items worked out great. Not a successful car but Jim Hall was always trying  out new ideas, most of the time they worked.  Again good looking model !

[Randy D]

I'm with Danno,  always cool to see someone modeling Chaparrals.  Looks great !!
