curt raitz Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Another Indy Roadster... Built from the MPC re-issue of the Gurney-Olsonite Eagle, plus decals from IndyCals, the Rislone Special Conversion kit and Tires from Replica's and Miniature's of Maryland Everything went together really well, enjoyed building a model I've wanted to build for quite sometime I even remember watching Bobby Unser winning this race on ABC's "Wide World of Sports" days after the race took place. thanx for lookin'
belowambient Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I love the history of this build... It makes looking at it that much sweeter. I don't suppose you would have any info on the turbine car or repco indy? Those too would be some nice kits
Bernard Kron Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Hey Curt, this one's niiiiiiiiice! Love the colors and textures and the details are really tight and clean so that the whole build really pops!
rick6343 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Looks great! I'm glad to hear everything went together well. One of these is on my list. One of the best-looking paint schemes ever run at Indy...
Brendan Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Awesome job on the car. I love the older Indy cars when they were actually making innovations in the racing. Is this the same one that was in Sacramento?
Joe Nunes Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 A really nice model from an era when auto racing was actually FUN to watch. Joe

jbwelda Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 that looks fantastic curt! the offy motor looks pretty special too...is it right out of the box or did you fancy it up a lot? got any good close up pics?
ismaelg Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 That is so nice I'm almost in tears of joy.... LOVE IT! We need to do a meeting of Gurney Eagles....... Regards,
Raul_Perez Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Curt, You've got those elves working overtime!! Do you pay them by the hour or by the job? Between the awesome builds you've been putting out and the Bugatti Tank car, it's no wonder I haven't heard from you in a few days... As I recall, those old MPC kits were a bit finicky to build, but this looks GREAT!! Later,

It's pretty much right out of Norm's Replica & Miniatures baggie...just added plug wires, oil lines and a wire-thingy from the turbo
