Are there any decent 1/24, 1/20 or 1/18 PC22 road course models out there...or failing that any drawings in any scale? I fancy having a 1/20 Senna test car in the collection...
Thanks,
David

Its not that hard to modify the 1993 Penske. Just cut the front fins off the sidepods and putty up the rear cowl.

Just to clarify, for that one test Senna drove the 1992 PC21, not the 1993 PC22. Strangely, it did have 1993 style rims When Minichamps did the test car in 1/43, they used the PC22 (reusing a mold from Emmo's win?). Mike Peters is working on a website for a guy restoring a PC21 so that could be of some help if you need references, his website has a lot of good pictures. Maybe some others can chime on good rim donors for this subject.  In 1/25, the PC20 (Chevy A) and PC22 (Chevy C) have been done in resin. The PC21 is more like the PC20 but because it used "B" spec Chevy engine the engine cowling is different from either car. In 1/20, the closest starting point I know of is the Tamiya 1993 Lola. There is a conversion set of decals for the 1993 Penske from Studio 27 (I think?) but curiously no body transkit that I have ever seen (and I have looked). In 1/18, Sadler21 is right, the closest is the Minichamps PC22 and I did find one that sold on eBay with roadcourse wings so that would get you even closer to the test car. It really just depends on how accurate you want to get. If close is good enough then the PC22 is a good option. If you want to modify something to get closer then the guys here will help you out with that, too. Jordan |

Thanks sadler21, thanks Jordan,
Depending where you the Senna car is referred to as a 'Penske Chev', a 'PC21', a 'PC22' or a 'PC23'; it is good to have it confirmed. I have the conversion decals which have a basic plan and side view to guide placement.
However, I am not much of a sculptor and like having drawings - or something I can measure as a guide - when I dive into this amount of scratch building. If I am understanding correctly the best place to start would be a Minichamps 1:18 PC22: use that as the basis for the bulk of the dimensions and fudge the sidepods and cowl on the drawings, then start butchering styrene...

Hi Paul,
Thanks, yes, the pictures are especially a big help. Would love one of the Bill Jorgensen transkits!
