Bigasshammm Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 While the forums were off I started this one. Pretty simple kit as the body is only 2 pieces and it's a guarantee curbside. Which is fine because the engine sucks. Body is paired chrome yellow which looks a little too orange to me but too late now. This is going to be a straight quick fun (possible?) out of box build. So far so good. Kris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Body is basically done. Still need to give it a Future bath over the decals. Working on the wings now and still waiting for a piece in the mail to finish it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 looking good Hammm! Always did love the Jordans. Have you seen the 1/24 RB8s due out from revell yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks! I've seen that they'll be released but haven't actually seen one yet. I believe there due in November? I'll be getting them for sure either way. I hope they redo the tires though. I know the tires in the MP4-25s and Mercedes W01s are awful. Not sure if the Ferrari is the same but probably.

Bigasshammm Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Wheels n tires are on. I got my replacement wing end plates so the front wing is together. Should get it painted in the next day or two. Then it's just putting everything together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 All done! The only thing I changed from the kit is the nose antennae. I replaced the tree trunk provided in the kit with a bent piece of wire. Paint is Tamiya TS chrome yellow. The rear wing isn't quite square and the design of it doesn't really lea the builder to getting it perfect. Looking at the pics the front wig looks skewed too but to the naked eye it looks fine.

dmthamade Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 That's great work, Big!! I really like the colorful schemes the F1 cars carry. The decals are from the kit? I also like seeing the evolution of the F1 cars, the shape changes, spoilers, tire technology.. this GB has been a learning experience. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes everything you see aside from the bent antennae is from the kit. Very simple kit and built up quickly. If I had a ton of time id have finished it sooner. That's why I love the F1 kits. They're like building fighter planes but with all that color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
