Chaparal 2D Coupe

[Tom Louis]

By Monagram. A curbside build. One of the most beautiful racecars in my opinion. Used the old kit decals!

i agree  one of the best looking race cars  . even though i'm a big time Ford fan,   i'm also a big time Chaparral  fan.   got  a big box  of  future builds.   nice build Tom,  look  into  Chaparral  wheels  by  HRM   Historic Racing Miniatures  they  look great and can be purchased  at https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/pages/about-us

Thank you William, what brands are those kits other then Monagram, particularly the 2C and other roadsters?. I have a 2E by IMC, waiting to be built.

Tom,   the  2E  by IMC  is  a tough kit to build and kinda small at 1/25  scale.  Kits  i like and have  are  2d by Modelers, 2c  by LS ,  2f  and 2e  by Fisher,   3  small  boxes  to the right   are  slotcar bodies by Fein Design Modell,   they  are pricey  for just a body but  awesome  detail and quality.

Thank you for the advice and for taking the time to do so William, Looking forward to your builds and posts.

Looks really nice Tom!  I built this kit a number of years ago and it is still one of my favorites in my collection.

Sharp car Tom. Chaparrel is such a cool name too.  Nice job on it.

Very nice! I've been working on one of these off and on for several years. Thanks for the inspiration to get back on it!
