Phildaupho Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 DELTAWING Project 56 Le Mans 2012 Racecar - This is my version of the DeltaWing racecar under development at Dan Gurney’s All American racers facility and soon to be tested by Duncan Dayton’s Highcroft Racing squad in preparation for the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. The model was sliced out of the Revell of Germany Audi R10 with the addition of a lot of Evergreen styrene and Tamiya putty while the engine was adapted from a Tamiya Toyota 84C. In no way am I claiming that this is an exact replica but I also think the real show car will change in many ways by the time it is on the grid at Le Mans. The paint is Testor’s Modelmaster gloss red lacquer and various Metalizer colours. The decals were made with the Testor’s program and printed on an ink-jet. The only after-market parts I used were Eduard seatbelts and Sakatsu wheel nuts. This was certainly an interesting and challenging project. I have always enjoyed building “custom” models and this may in fact be the most customized model car I have ever built.
krazyglu Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Are you kidding me.....this is insane my friend. Custom would be a understatement for sure. I have no clue what this is ,but a little googling will solve that. Great job on a very very unique vehicle.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Crazy beautiful. Very impressive and the color makes it all POP! Wonderful eye candy.
2lapsdown Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I think the real car is ugly, but you did an unbelievable job of modeling it. Really a wonderful piece of work. To call it impressive is an understatement. John
randx0 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I have to agree with John,you did an excellent job replicating the real car. I still can't wrap my head around this thing at a road course though.
Erik Smith Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Very nicely done. Unique subject and great execution.
