Hi everyone!
I'm currently building The Airfix kit of the Ford 3L P68. The shape of the body suplied in this kit in my opinion is quite awful. The real car is a real beauty in my opinion! But it makes it more fun trying to create the right shape out of it
. The sides of the body look way wrong, kinda to square. So this requires some serious sanding and filling of material from the inside of the body to allow for all this sanding. Also the rear of the car was way too square and needed to be redone. I'm going for the #7 car that raced on Nürburgring in 1968. So the nose will have to be sculptured too
I managed to squeze a sidewinder into this one thanks to some fiddling. I made a torsion bar brass chassis (my first) for it and it drives very well after some initial trial runs.
I don't know how to post pics here, I keep getting fault messages when I try. But here are a few in progress shots: My Starphoto page (bastumannen)
I'll be back with more pics and descreptions as I go.
I'd be greateful for any links with photos or other interesting info about this car.
I'd also love to see some other peoples versions of this car for ideas and inspiration!
