This thread will be kind of intertwined with the 1987 Cummins March threadThis WIP will be a little more harder than the 87 winner thread. Why? because first of all there are a few differances in both cars manily the tail end of the cars. The 86 March was disigned around the 87 winning penske car of Al Unser as most of us know very well already So for a 86 winner there are some different steps that need to be taken to fulfill that spec of car. As seen in the 87 Cummins thread I cut off the suspension. But this time I added some styrene to exhaust exit and the turbo inlet. The next step is to make big rectangular turbo inlet, which I sculpted out of a chunk of styrene (see next post) After this you'll have to come up with a 1988 Penske rear wing which matches the best for this 86 winner. I'll talk about how to attach that later on.... More sometime later.....

I'm redoing the turbo inlet area. I dont know what I was thinking when I was doing it the first time? Too many distractions lately, I guess? So I actually looked at a picture this time and I'm redoing it the right way. I cut a good amount off of the tail.

I'll be watching this one and taking notes as this was one of the first decal sheets I ordered from Indycal, just so I could do Rahals 1986 car.

Beautiful! Just a solid red paint scheme, white lettering, black suspension... it looks like a race car should look.
