rustywelder Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This is my WIP of the Lance Sellers resin kit of the M15 indy car. The M15 was McLaren's first attempt at an indy racer, based on the tech from the M8 Can-Am cars and powered by a turbo charged Offenhauser 4cyl engine. For a fuller description see http://www.bruce-mclaren.com/the-cars/indy-500/m15/gallery/1.html. This is the car I am modeling. This was actually started last week, and I forgot to take any pics of the resin parts as they came. Here is how she stands as of tonight. White metal parts. Wheels Body painted in Tamiya TS-56 brilliant orange, awaiting final coat. Radiator Offenhauser engine Beginnings of cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AVGBob Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Nice! I took a look at Lance Sellers' site. Really cool. These look like they would be fun to build. Edited March 7, 2015 by AVGBob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks Bob, This kit is proving to be quite a bit of fun. I just wish they weren't so expensive, or I'd have quite a few more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Got some work done on the rear suspension this afternoon. Chrome finish on the wheels, not alclad quality but not too shabby for a rattle can. Krylon chrome over Testors gloss black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AVGBob Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I wish McLaren still painted their cars orange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The Krylon chrome - decanted and airbrushed, or straight from the can?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
