Colin Russell Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I finished this beasty today,the front was cut off to form a flip front and the bonnet was blended into the wings and front panel,the hood scoop is the cockpit cover from a rail dragster.I had to fabricate a new bulkhead for it and the rear bumper was blended into the body.Also I made new chassis rails from brass box section and created ventilated discs from scratch. The engine is a Ferrari V12 and has twin turbo's. The shell was sprayed Ford crystal blue and cleared with Halfords polyurethane clear and the chromework was foiled too. The wheels are off a Tamiya kit and the Revell hubs were modified to fit them,hope you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The metalflake is a little out of scale (ok, a lot out of scale), but I like your work on the flip-nose front. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
