Oriol Servia Telefonica Reynard WIP

[shunter]

Hello Gents,
What yellow/green tone would best suit this car? I’m puzzled by the colour as pics are doing it much justice.

When I would paint a Telefonica car in a computer game, I used the color from the Telefonica logo, which can still be found online. Looked as perfect as anything on a computer screen.

For a paint, as the third photo shows, the real car had metallic or something in the paint. Is there also neon? I'm not sure.

I remembered Methanol answered this questions before and found the thread! Really awesome to have so much knowledge over the years accumulated here.

Lol this color drives me nuts.
It's the color that should be just yellow.
People that haven't seen it real life paint it yellow and People that have seen it in real life paint it green. Some pictures show as yellow and others show the green.
On TV it shows up as yellow.
This is probably the most upsetting color to me in racing. lol

Having owned an endplate of the car, Calvin is right. In most angles, its yellow. In some angles, its green. Plus there's a pearl sparkle to all of the colors (including the white and blue).

My intent if I ever do this car is to find something made for the Aston Martins "Lime Essense". I think that would be the closest offering.

I REALLY want to build this car. I even have the decals already. I just can’t wrap my brain around a color. I was 12 and the color made this my favorite car of that time period. Lol. Became a Servia fan too. I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’m going to build it one day.

Gravity Colors in Spain has a specific color for Minardi F1

Thank you all. Calvin I can relate after painting a Jordan EJ10 and that yellow. Thank you Jauanjo, I did not even think of looking at Gravity.

Well this will be one I’ll make a start on during our winter period. It’s too cold to spray anything really, seeing I paint in my garage and not inside.
As you can see I will take this one a little further and add the engine into the back, after doing the Honda I think I will add some extra details as I go.

Nice shout on the Gravity! I’d have never thought about them. Looking forward to seeing this one for sure.

[Art Laski]

Looking forward to it, Shayne!

I cut the floor as per previous builds, a tip I picked up from David T when he built his Reynard. It is the first time I have used a Tamiya photo etched blade, it has done an excellent job and minimised the thickness of the cut.This is the only way I can think of getting the seat in but being able to clean the joint line of the cowl and floor.

Still plenty of sanding and tidying up to do. Paint has been ordered along with the decal sheet.

Getting to a good start on this one! I have a pack of those photoetch blades to try out myself. Glad to hear positive things.

I had a mail call today, always nice to have something for me. Thanks to Juanjo Mas as he highlighted Gravity had the Telefonica Lime Green for the Minardi, it may not be 100% correct for the Indycar, but sure beats having to mix something up.

Looking forward to the updates on this one, Shayne. LMK if I can be of any help.

Very cool. And with this car no one could ever say if it’s right or wrong so the gravity will be as good as anything.

Thanks Jordan, looking around and especially your post on the engines, would I b3 right in saying that the 99/2000 engine covers were blue? The engine may not be completely date correct but it will do. I’m just not finding anything that says blue covers then everything aluminum or if the top area should be a black/gunmetal look.

Not much to update here, except for some exceptional roducts from Chris at GrandPrecision.Net
His main area in recent times has been, 1/18 diecast related but luckily for us he has ventured in making parts for the 1/24 Revell Reynard and with the new JR Salvino kits 1/20 Dallara kits.
The wheels look fantastic, he has the BBS version I need for this car, along with the OZ Racing as well. Chris also has the wheel nuts, a brilliant looking fuel filler and even a camera. Chris also has the ability to produce e Al’s for the gauges and tyre markings.
I’m looking forward to getting these painted up.
Go check out the website, I’m sure you will find something to spark your interest.
