Chaparral 2D post-race

[shoeman]

I finally finished this after many months.  It's the old Monogram kit, really simple kit as mentioned before in other builds.  I gave it the after an endurance race look.  The kit decals were missing so I used some Starfighter's and mixed and matched, so it's no particular actual race version.  I widened the kit wheels using a technique I learned here, sawed up a deeper dish donor wheel set and merged the two.  I think that worded well.   First attempt at scale duct tape too, that was fun.    Next I'm finishing a GT40 I started over a year ago.

Always tough to do weathering but you pulled it off. Nice job!

Thanks folks, I had fun with this one.   The photos don't show in detail the Mad City wired distributor or the Speed City velocity stacks.  The opening in the deck covers the distributor sadly.  I have to give kudos to both those suppliers for great products and service.

I agree. Very nice weathering job. Perfect and not overdone
