1/20 March 761 Fuji 1976 finished

Post by Jacques »

Hello,

it's been a while since I finished my last model...but finally I have one to show :D . Here is my latest project, which I begun a couple of month ago. I wanted to build Brambilla's car during the Fuji 1976 Grand Prix. A real nice car full of white tape ! Well this is my first contribution to the GB 2014.

The base kit is the Studio 27 one which I modified a bit :
- front rims were modified, and the insert glued deeper in the rim to be more realistic.
- rain tires were put on place (a nice donation from my friend Gilles some years ago :wink: )
- the front spoiler has been adapted for this specific version
- radiators were adapted accordingly
- ...and Brambilla in the cockpit (MFH figure with El Oso helmets)
- The decals of course : Thank you James once again 8) 8) 8)

Still the car is not 100% as it was during the Fuji GP, but I am quite happy with the result. It's good to see a car with an unusual color.

Lovely looking model Jacques, and what's not to like about an orange car in the collection! I love the race tape, a nice topical touch for Japan as well.

Beaut of an end product - you can be very happy!

If I may ask: what finish/technique did you use on the rear wing - looks sublime!

Very nice, Jacques! I love the finish, the decal work, and the flexible side skirts! Cool!

Like tommy, I too wish someone would make "shovel nose" March kits like this, in plastic. You've done a great job!
