Chaparrals - Survivors

[Rich Chernosky]

I will second Gary's request.  I did notice that they are all 1/24. Wouldn't mind knowing where that 2H came from.  That is what I am striving for. I would like to re-create that photo that was taken at Laguna . I am well on my way.

Rich, that must have been a Mini Exotics resin kit from the 90's - see link:  http://www.gpma.org/Images/rmchaparral23.jpg

Realy nice collection Dave...thanks for sharing

It would have been an international crime Dave if you had not posted pictures of your Chaparrals.  What a great collection.  Thank you for sharing.

That must be Chaparral heaven for all C. fans, Dave - excellent collection!

[Pierre Rivard]

OK Dave, let's review the definition of survivors.... these are not survivors, they are masterpieces!

Outstanding collection of scale Chaparrals. I only have two Chaparral based models in my collection - a self-converted to 2D to final specs and the 70 Camaro Trans-Am. Next on my want to build Chaparral raced cars is the Gransport.

A recent post of a beautiful Chaparral model got me thinking about my old survivors, now dirty, glue marks showing, yellowed, and decades old.

Chaparral 2 An unknown slot car body.

Chaparral - AMT 2A

Chaparral 2A - Cox

Chaparral - IMC 2E

Chaparral 1 - what's left of a Scudreria Scale body

 

Come on Chaparral fans, let's see your survivors.

Fantastic

Attached is not a survivor but my just finished Monogram model of the 2D
Found  it unbuilt on a local auction site ½ year ago, so yes the kit itself perhaps could be classified as a survivor.

Now comes the embarassing question:
Can someone help me with a set of lamp lenses for this?
Despite the geographical distance (Sweden)
Would be very appreciated.
My carpet troll was very hungry a couple of months ago so ....
So , now the lamps are without lenses ...

Another IMC 2E here, built last century. I added quite a few dzu fasteners and also metal mesh here and there I believe. The wing is not fixed, so it tends to live a life of its own, from time to time.

And of course the tires are splitting .....

Really nice my friend.  The added details make it special.  Thanks for posting the photos.

Excellent model of a hard to build kit Wm. Good job.

Very nice, William - those IMC kits are a bear to build correctly.
