The latest revival - an SCX 131 on top of a Ninco Megane Trophy chassis. I had to move the wheelarches to accommodate the longer wheelbase of the chassis. I also added a drop-arm guide (from Sprit) and constructed the bridge to secure the top height of the guide's swing. For the wheel arches I used the ones from the Megane which was then binned!]]> Sat, 25 Sep 2010 09:47:23 +0100 <![CDATA[Ford RS200 'Converted']]>

The Subaru with about 1cm added at the front.


Now the chassis fits!!


Looks kinda odd, but .......

That was yesterday's work.

My painting skills are duff and I usually end up trying to create some kind of 'aged effect' to hide the mistakes.
This was no exception.



The end!

An air-intake from a Ford RS200 added, and all wheelarches enlarged.

Blue and white, because I couldn't be bothered going out to buy different colours.

And finally 'aged' with a black marker pen smudged with alcohol from the medicine cabinet.



Patience was never my virtue, so I should have done more sanding down to hide the joints!

But as it goes like a bomb with a TeamSlot 'Diablo' motor and a 28z Ninco crown - perhaps nobody will notice!!!

Cheers
