Dang, I'm glad you're feeling better!!!!!!!!!! Tim Oh yeah! I just felt it needed to be done. Because all Indy 500 winners need to be done - its the law! I just dont see any model co. ever doing a DW12 kit. Like I've said in the past, Nascar modelers dont even have any current cars anymore! So if they cant, I'm sure we will never. |

Just cut away everything that doesn't look like a DW12, right?

The hardest part of this project is doing the suspension. As far as I know there is nothing out there as far as kits go that would match the DW12's size and shape or the arms. Usually I can get away with using AMT kit suspensions to make molds of but this is way too new to make that work. The arms on the Revell Reynards are not close at all, plus they are too small.

I'm still not a big fan of the DW12, but we will have it for quite a while. Please make this available ASAP, Calvin, I'm sure it will be a good seller for you. Contact Lazierfan as he is also working on that car ( I hope I'm not giving away any secrets,Eric)
Take Care

Usually I can get away with using AMT kit suspensions to make molds of but this is way too new to make that work. The arms on the Revell Reynards are not close at all, plus they are too small. The suspension is actually pretty normal. What the rest of us see is the carbon fiber aero covers that make it look so much thicker than it really is. I know that doesn't help you but was just pointing it out. |

Calvin:
Have you tried any of the Revell/Germany F1 suspensions? I know they're 1/24, but I seem to remember them being similar to the DW 12...
Just a thought...

I can say the 197, F2005, and MP4/20 had nothing to offer even close. The EJ10 part 18 looks very similar to the upper A arm on the fronts, pic to follow. It is not a perfect angle but looks like it could be easily tweaked. Many more RoG F1 kits out there to compare though. Jordan |

Hey that actually looks pretty good! I think one of my Local Hobby Stores might actually have a EJ10? I saw one a while ago.....? I have a FW19, F2007, and Ferrari F10 RoG kits and they are not close at all. Also I might add the top and lower A-Arms are basically the same on the dw12. BTW I didn't get anything done on this today - I didn't feel that well today, I'll try again tomorrow....I'm doing better but I still have my bad days here there. also people ask me all the time what disease I have well it this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcerative_colitis |

Man, so sorry Calvin that you have this thing. I will never complain about my bad right knee again... Stu Uh yeah, I've had bad IBS and it can be mis-er-able. But this is multiple times worse. Great work so far on the DW12, Calvin, if you need anything from me don't hesitate to ask. I can even send you one of my EJ10 kits - I can part out the suspension or you are welcome to the whole thing. Jordan |
