Oriol Servia Telefonica Reynard Completed!

[1961redlegs]

Here is one of my two latest completions; Oriol Servia's Telefonica Reynard as it competed in the 2000 season. I completed in in the speedway configuration as I think the Reynards look so clean and sleek in that trim.

Servia is one of my favorite drivers currently running, he is a solid, competent driver that brings the car home and gets solid finishes. A true veteran campaigner. The 2000 season was his rookie year driving for Cal Wells. He had some strong runs, getting a podium at Belle Isle and eight total top-ten finishes.

The car is a Revell Reynard and is painted in a mixture of Tamiya TS-16 yellow and TS-52 Lime Green which was airbrushed onto the car. It may be a little bit more green than the car actually was but I think it is very close. The decals are the absolutely wonderful set just released by Michael at IndyCals.

All in all I think this turned out pretty nice.

Very nice!

I'll prolly start another color debate, but IMO THIS is the correct color.

I concur on the colour

I think you nailed the color.

[GrandPrecision]

Yup. definitely the best copy I have seen of this car in terms of getting the correct color. Very well done!

You did a great job on the build. I like the color you mixed, it is not an easy color to replicate and you did it very well. I know you've built a few of these kits and I really like the way yours turn out. Servia has to be given credit, he gets into so unfortunate situations but he's a fighter and a good driver which is how he has lasted all these years - I hope he gets a good ride for 2014.
