Indy March 88C, Monogram, 1/24
So let's begin the new year with a finished project, the 1988 Indy 500 March88C, driven by Al Unser Jr.
It's a typical 80s Indycar kit, maybe the AMT ones are a bit better, but they are similar to build. The frontal sidepod covers are theoretically removable, but they are only put on so loosely, that would not work. I initially tried to attach them with some rivets, but that didn't work, so I had to cover a drill hole with a rivethead and glue the parts on. The placement of some small scrutineering decals was not clear as instructions and the few (2?) photos I could find were not in agreement. Painted with TS26 and an eyeballed mix of TS55 and 23, decals from Indycals, and I added the usual wires and seatbelts. Hope you like it. The next project could take a bit longer (unless I decide to do a side project at the same time) as it will be the annual Martini car, but this time in 1/12...

That looks very nice! As popular as the series is with fans for some reason you never see these Indy car kits built.
