1969 Indy Winner: Andretti's Brawner-Ford STP Hawk

[Scale-Master]

SMTS 1/43^rd white metal kit.    I made new decals because the ones in the kit were poorly done and damaged.

WIP Thread:

Very very nice build. I am surprised by the level of detailing considering the small scale.

Excellent build again in this small scale !!!

[Dan Hay]

Nice, great detail!  My dad knew Clint Brawner, he lived in the PHX, AZ area until he died. We used to see him al the time at swap meets, selling cool racing parts. He had skin cancer really bad, and would always have a huge straw hat to try to keep out of the sun. 

[Jim B]

Really well done.

[Rich Chernosky]

Mark...looks like a real winner. Nice job in such a small scale. 

[Smilesperhour]

That looks great, paint really pops

Outstanding work on an iconic car (and driver).  Thanks for sharing.

[Phildaupho]

[PappyD340]

[TonyK]

Very nice!

[Rattlecan Dan]

I agree with everyone's observations and compliments. You did a really nice job on that ferocious little car.

[Mike C]

That's a really good build.?

High quality build for that scale. Had you not mention the scale I would have thought It wasr a 1/25-24 scale . Bravo.

[Bruce Scully]

 I really like this scale and this is a top class build. well done .

As always, reading the WIP section on Mark's builds yields a ton of info you might not know when viewing the finished model.  Think what a massive improvement his decals were over the kit's, not to mention a couple other fixes and adaptations that resulted in a far more realistic appearance. 

Serious question, Mark:  Do you wear/use any type of magnification (Optivisor etc) when building smaller scale kits?

I wear reading glasses when I build, no matter the scale.

 

And Thank You Everyone for the compliments!!
