Wakefan77 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Just finished this up. Salvinos Lemans. Messed with the roof and the front end a bit. Had to really shave some plastic off the dash area and the roll cage to get the body to sit down. Overall I enjoyed building it. Thanks for looking. Edited October 18, 2021 by Wakefan77 1
bbowser Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 That's very nice! You may have convinced me to get one of these.
TonyK Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Great model! Really like your wheels and tires.
slusher Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Beautiful model! He really could drive a race car..
stinkybritches Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Really nice. One of my favorite paint schemes.
Jim N Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Great looking model. This one gets trashed a lot, but it builds up really nice. Great job.
Toys4Don2 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I don’t know what you did to the front of it, but it really helped with the proportions. Very nicely done.

Very nicely done. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Before I attached the nose, I shaved off some of the front end (didn't measure just eyeballed it). Also opened up the front wheel openings a bit to get that front fender section a little smaller. Doing all this required the hood to be shaved a bit on the windshield side. Next time if I do a Lemans, I'm going to also do something with the front bumper/nose as it's a bit too pointy.
Toys4Don2 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks for the update. I noticed the wheel opening was a little bigger but wasn’t sure if you shaved any off.
