Finally getting started on this. Trying JB Weld for the first time. Going to try brass or styrene instead of tons of putty. If that doesn't work I'll go the putty route. I'm not very good with putty so wish me luck.  |

Also trying to figure out where to cut and how much I'm gonna need to add to the radiator inlet.  |

Also trying to figure out where to cut and how much I'm gonna need to add to the radiator inlet. Good progress so far. As far as what to cut, you might want to refer to Michael Peter's 2D drawing of the aerokits that he posted here. You could even print them out in scale to help you out. Jordan |

Yes Juan! You are correct. Sand, repeat, sand, repeat. LOL

Not bad for my first and only attempt at sculpting these Hondas. Finishing up the engine cowling then I can start painting. Thanks to Calvin I won't have to make all the remaining cars from scratch.   |

Been a long time since I had time to work on this. Only thing left is the rear wing! Been struggling to figure it out hopefully I can soon.  |

Great stuff Juan. Exciting news that Greenlight is doing the Chevy. Not very excited to see the Steak & Shake & Arrow livery on a Chevy though. To my knowledge neither team are switching engine/aero packages.

I'm not sure how I missed the Davo preview but that looks fantastic!
And I agree with Stu. If they don't want to make a Honda body, they should focus on making more Chevies available. Those Chondas will be good for nothing more than conversions.

It looks like the rear wing is Honda on the Hinch and Rahal cars. Note the wing mount sticking up. Why are there two camera pods on the rear wing of the prototype?

Why are there two camera pods on the rear wing of the prototype? Because it's Greenlight and indycar is probably an afterthought to them now that they have so many other licensing agreements. |

Looks like they fixed the camera pods at some later stage.  |

The end result is stunning. The paint and decals really pop. The body kit looks factory and it really came together impressively. Great job, Juan. Really good and all things considered, this could be sure rare - maybe even the only one of it's kind in 1/18.
So is this going to James? I hope he'll be able to protect this one for a long time.

Greenlight did a great job with the 500 winner.  Can't wait to get my grubby paws on this one too.  Sucks they weren't able to make the Hondas.  |
