Mini Group build for Build-o-rama

[Deleted]

Guys,

I couldn't decide on any of my F1 cars - so have gone with an Indy theme...........all 1/24th scale

Olsonite Eagle:











Lotus 56 Turbine:













Kurtis Kraft Indy Car (1950's):

Looks like you're moving right along.
Were did you get the resin wheels and front nose for the Kurtis?

2K - not resin bits - they are the parts from the kit - i just added the wholes/grill with an engraver/file

oh - and I'm doing Denny Hulme's 42 car rather than Dan's 48

Okay....I guess it must be the lighting that made the parts look like resin?

Some more work on the Kurtis -

Originally meant to be yellow, but I decided that was a bit bland - so went for red:





Only problem was that with an original yellow car - the RED decals in the kit would look good!


So these are some decals from the spares box - the car is not meant to be any particular car - just a "restored" car for the Humble Museum (for those not aware - all three of these cars are going into a LARGE project - see another thread around here....)

Gents - due to the totally unseasonal rains here in Australia we have a leak into the downstairs area - which means pulling up the whole carpet. That means, of course - taking ALL the furniture (3 display cabinets etc) out of the room.

Hope to finish at least ONE of the three builds by the cut off date.....

Managed to get some more work done - aim is to finish the Kurtis at least - maybe the Lotus - for the group build.

Suspension etc going onto the Kurtis:







Also trying to get more Lotus work done - initial fitting etc:

The only one I got finished by today was the Kurtis Kraft:







Not meant to represent any particular car - just one of the times......

[Deleted]

I did eventually finish the Lotus 56 - Graham Hill's car:









The Hulme 1968 Olsonite Eagle is almost finished - pics soon

[Deleted]

Ah eventually finished the Eagle - as Denny Hulme's Number 42 car:

All of the finished builds really look good Scran. I really like the Eagle. It's always been one of my favorite cars.
