I just finished this one up. It is Tony Kanaan's 1999 McDonald's Reynard as it appeared in his inaugural win at Michigan. I based my build off of tips shared by Chaparral2K by altering the sidepods, modifying the foils on the sidepods and adding a Hanford device to the rear wing.
I traced out a rough outline of the belly pan where it curves and I used it for the extensions I added to the front by tracing it to sheet styrene. For the sides I traced the outline of the sidepod and cut it to shape and left the other end straight. The Hanford Device was a simple piece of strip styrene.
The decals are Scale Coachworks decals with Indycals Firestone markings, the body is painted Tamiya Italian Red and Tamiya Black.
I really can't add more, Tony Kanaan scored his first win with this car and it was the beginning of a brilliant career to date. He has won championships and after years of struggle the Indianapolis 500 this year. I was there in person to witness it and it was the damnedest thing I've ever seen on the racetrack.
