Twokidsnosleep Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 This kit is my current project. Working on detailing it up, opening rear cowlings and making a representation of Canadian Jacques Villeneuve's Championship Season ride
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 3, 2019 Author Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Not an easy task as detail is lacking and some modifications made to the best of my abilities. Not many...ANY...internal photos with cowlings off so I had fun trying to figure out the rear clip details. This schematic is reported to be the 1996 FW car with the 1997 logo decals on it ??!! Cripes. Lots of 1/24 carbon fibre decal form Studio 27 used...lovely stuff Kit decals are dodgy, they have wrinkled and come off the paper in some areas. I have supplementary Rothmans decals to add. I modified the wing attachment with brass pin and sleeve so the wing can be taken on and off...and actually stay on in place when so desired! It is coming along. Body paint hopefully soon.

iamsuperdan Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Whoa! Someone actually building this kit and not selling it?! I had mine up for sale with no takers, and I run across others at garage sales and antique sales all the time. Have never actually seen it built. Looks like it's building up nicely. May have to rethink selling it. Watching for updates!

Twokidsnosleep Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Rear clip is done, cemented and detailed. I have her in her white paint, now awaiting for some cure time before masking off for the blue Up to date now.
drodg Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Sweet and that does not look like an easy kit to build. Keep the good work up.
Gramps46 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Looking good. Please keep us posted on your progress.
Tommy124 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I agree, this is looking very good. I will follow your WIP. If I may add one small comment, I think the exhaust pipes have to more straight, on those photos they look like they are pointed to the lower part of the rear wing in a somewhat diagonal angle. On the real car, hot exhaust air may never reach the CF parts, that would not be good...

Here is another reference angle, looks like Revell had them correct, I just cut off the tip and added some aluminum so the angle is what it was Edited July 10, 2019 by Twokidsnosleep

Hi Bruce buddy, good to hear from you. Hope you are having a good summer. Ya she puts up a bit of a fight and still has a few opportunities to crush me, but I am thinking i am getting there Have a pretty good plan of attack with the livery paint. The decals just need not to fully explode and we are golden...the decals are all wrinkly so may indeed explode on me
Rider Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 This is great, I have never seen this built up. Keep it up, looks like you're in the home stretch. I had this kit and it looked like a struggle, you're knocking it out of the park.

Belugawrx Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Nice work on the paint and decals Scott..Really like the extra touches to the engine as well ! That's a tough kit to get right, but you did it ! Well done my friend
Brudda Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Wowwww!!!! F1 cars are cool. They are very hard to build because it’s all out there. Great job!!
Brudda Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 These revell 1/24 build up great! Yours is better but I did the 1/24 Toyota f1 and they build up great!
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 19, 2019 Author Posted July 19, 2019 Really solid work Bruce, that looks great They are not easy kits to make look decent and do take some work. I do like the F1 cars of this era, great shapes to them
Twokidsnosleep Posted September 8, 2019 Author Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) So ya she has been done for a month or so and I am starting a Revell Raynard Indy 500 winning car of Jacques Villeneuve Edited September 8, 2019 by Twokidsnosleep
