Base kit to make Red Bull or Renault/Lotus F1?
Does anyone know if any of the currently available plastic F1 car kits are 'near enough' to use as a basis for converting to the Red Bull car, or the Renault Lotus??? (Even from a previous season or so, right back to 2008-ish)
I love both these cars, but nobody makes a plastic model of either, so I wondered about 'bodgeling' one myself from a donor kit. Decals aren't a problem as I'll print my own. Roy. |

Re: Base kit to make Red Bull or Renault/Lotus F1?
I know there are resin kits out there, but I don't particularly want to spend astro-money on these cars.
I've got a huge stash of mega-kits already, and just wanted a 'cheapo' I could tinker with, with the hopes of ending up with a nice-ish result. Roy. |

If you wait around, Fujimi may release one given that they are currently releasing new F1 kits at a fair rate of knots.

There were special conversion decals released in Japan specifically for that at some point. You most likely can still get them from bestbalsakits. However your total spent in the end will likely be more then cost of MM kit, I predict. I've entertained the idea of converting F10 to STR06 at some point. But talked myself out of it. Full aero package would have needed to be scratch built or sources from donor MM RB6 kit. Plus decals have to be sourced separately of course. Time consuming and not so cheap exercise. |
