at last some finished F1 from my never diminishing stash... here's the now old Revell 1/24 Jordan EJ10.
It was a relatively fast build, even if I had to completely ignore the kit's manual and do an alternative way to close the monocoque and attach the front suspension. It was the method of gluing tube sections inside the nose, and cutting the suspension arms in halves to fit inside the tubes. I've used that in previous builds of Revell kits.
I'm bad at doing WIPs, but there's a couple of pics of the early stages.
The tyres, TV camera and seatbelts are 3D modeled and printed. I did fake brake disks in 3D printing to close the space inside the wheels, since Revell's brake disks in many of their early F1 kits are too small. The original TV camera of this kit is the opposite: too big, 1/20th scale, and badly designed.
Also did a new windshield, antennas and mirror's supports, and reworked the vanes between the front wheels. The underside "plank" is a plastic sheet hand painted, using pictures and a Giorgio Piola's drawing as references.
The yellow is an automotive paint, close to Tamiya's TS-16. The CF parts are my usual RLM 66, with aluminium shot over through a net in parts like the wings.
Main sponsor's decals are from an old Museum Collection decal sheet.
I'm trying to clear some space in my shelves, so I've started by building less demanding kits that have big boxes, like the ones by Revell. The next, that is already in process, is the BMW Sauber F1.06.
Thanks for all the inspiration!!
