1/20 Shadow Tamiya conversion

[Rich Chernosky]

Had this kit banging around in my collection for a long time before I found a  !/20 Williams that was suitable for the conversion. Body isd a Bill Jorgensen resin conversion and the decals are IndyCals. Adapting the engine to the tub was the most tedious as it required much grinding and carving. Front suspension has re-worked coil over shocks and a new lower mounting point. Paint is Tamiya TS14 gloss black. Kit supplied the tires, rear wheels, engine and driver figure. In my opinion this was one of the best looking F-1 cars. Its a shame somebody like Tamiya never made a kit of it. I looked at a couple resin kits of this car but this one was the best.

Thanks for the compliment. That is one of the kits I looked at before settling on this.

Once again an impressive build Rich.  The engine and rear end assembly could be a stand alone display the way you have detailed it.

Thank you Gary, one of the main reasons I wanted to do this conversion instead of a kit was for the Tamiya engine.

Very nice conversion Rich.  Shadow were very innovative in their day.
