Rich Chernosky Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 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.

Gramps46 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Once again an impressive build Rich. The engine and rear end assembly could be a stand alone display the way you have detailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Gary, one of the main reasons I wanted to do this conversion instead of a kit was for the Tamiya engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
