Sorry Martin. I checked and I only have some poor side drawings. I did this car as Bruce's Monaco '62 winner and probably eyeballed everything using my photo resources.
This is from the Doug Nye book on Coopers...


I did finish the model (based on the hard plastic Russkit slot body with major changes to the nose), but the photos seem to have been "lost". I'll look for them and post a few if you don't mind. Perhaps, they may help in your project.

Thanks very much ,I hadnt checked this forum for a little so thanks for your help .I tracked down the Cooper book at decent price and a guy on a model ship forum sent me a plan of the 63 Cooper to at least get a basic start .i also have found some photos on the net so am at present hacking out the basic shape .Its not too bad but the nose is elusive.in some shots it looks fairly rounded and in others flatter .Your model looks good so is all taken note of .I'll post a picture when I finalise the shape .At present its a solid lump of Miliput with little hollowing out .Do you know if the one in The museum at Donnington is original ?
any way thanks

Martin,

If you are doing a T60 (the 1962 F1 Cooper) then the nose is a bit flat. If you are doing the 1963 F1 Cooper T? then the nose is a bit more rounded. I'm not familiar with Donnington's Cooper.

Luck! Patrick
