Opened up exhaust openings. Used styrene sheets to recreate the angled slot.



Progress is very slow

After several curbside projects in the past 4 yrs (well except the commissioned build of 1/12 F1-2000), I am searching for next subject. I want to build something blue this time. I have been thinking about doing the Leyton House.. but also like to do something a bit 'modern' F1. I think I am going to try my hand on converting a MP4/13 into Prost AP03.

AP03 did very bad in 2000 season, but it has the richest sponsorship that year.. including French tobacco and Yahoo!.. and the blue looks cool!

This won't be a super detailed one like my Ferraris, but I will try to display the engine details this time at least. Don't want to spend too much time before my interest fades out on a subject. The decal is replacement decal from Studio 27 that I got it from Mark at mshobbies.com. Not sure how it will go, but it could be fun

Attended SVSM Kickoff Classics this afternoon. I took my Jordan J199 to the contest and luckily got 2nd place. 1st place went to Mike English's super detailed vintage formula racer. It was built from a 1/24 Heller kit... Checkout the details!! Simply amazing!!!

Mike's super detailed Talbot.

Just got a chance to take some photos for my McLaren MP4/7 Honda that I built back in 1998... 12 yrs ago!!! Back then, I knew nothing about carbon fiber decal, aftermarket seat belts or photo etched parts.. and that was the 1st time I tried on paint polishing... This one took 2nd place in 99 Tamiya/Con 1/20 Formula Car category. Enjoys,
