Dave B Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Have all but finished the body my mate printed for me on his cheap 3D filament printer, lucky for me he has just bought a new state of the art printer, but it is still filament. I'm just waiting on 2 more decals for the sides but thought I would post it anyway. Had a lot of fun making a 'kit' out of it. Went through my resin parts box for all the pieces and made a buck so I could vacform a windscreen. Finished in auto acrylic and Patto's decals. Tks for looking. Dave B
Phildaupho Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Great looking model of a very striking racing car. I am not sure what scale yours is but I did build one many years ago from maybe an Academy kit that if I remember correctly had incredibly thick and hard plastic and could be battery/electric motor powered.
Rich Chernosky Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Turned out great Dave, well worth the effort.
Gramps46 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Nicely done David. I am impressed you started with a 3D print.
vintagerpm Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Both the 3D printed one came out looking real good. Can't imagine how much cleanup work you have to do to the body to get that smooth finish. The Academy one looks good, too. I had that kit once but disposed of it after getting the 1/43 Marsh kit of the car. Didn't realize the Academy kit could look that good when built. Cool looking car that was not such a great racer.
Silver Foxx Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Another one of your awesome builds , looks great .
1959scudetto Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Well done David, a great looking model of an mean looking , but unfortunately rather unlucky race car, driven by Chris Amon, one of my all-time favourites.
