I used a solid rod in the rear of Kevins kit for strength.  And made axle housings on the wheels  And rear wing  |

Nice to see the F5000 section taking off. This kit looks excellently engineered and the build seems to be off to a good start. Will be a fun WIP to watch.

I etched into the edges of each radiator and also the intake opening, so I could flow black paint into the groove.  looking at small rad behind the front axle, you can see the sharp line between white and black.  and here on the top rad.  Long view showing the wheels and overall look.   I had to cut deeply so the engine cover would fit around the rollbar.  And an overall look.  |

Como? Anyway thanks for putting this kit through it paces. The end result looks so "right". Mine will be even easier because of your WIP.

I cut the side flash into pieces and applied them separately I measured 15 mm. from the front point and each segment is 4 mm. leaving enough to go on the side of the engine cover.  And some more color  I'm going to touch up the edges of the segments so the flash looks more continuous.  |

Well, here we are. . .  And  with chief protagonist    I never thought I'd have one of these, let alone two. Thanks to Kevin and Michael for the means to make these photos possible. Thanks to all for looking and positive comments. |

Very cool! I really enjoyed your WIP!

Hmmmm. . . Now you've done it!
A. I didn't know they did.
2. North of what?
III. I too would like to know, now you've brought it up.

Well, back in 2000 when I was a little boy watching the Paul Revere 250 in the middle of the night, Speedvision put forth this very question to Brian Redman who was making a rare racing appearance at the time. See the video to find out more....  |

Raceparke-agreed! "I never thought I'd have one of these, let alone two. Thanks to Kevin and Michael for the means to make these photos possible..."
Beautiful builds and a wonderful thread! I just received the '75 Viceroy from Kevin and hope to order the Redman kit soon. Man, just a few years ago, no Lola's at all (well except for an ancient AFX version!) and now in 1/43, 1/18 and these beauties! Your thread is going to be super-helpful for me when I get down to building. I'll need a lot of help figuring out what goes where and you trail blazed this one for me---thank you!

Raceparke,
You should be so proud of your Viceroy car as it compares extremely well with the kit form. Bravo para ti!
