Penske PC17, AMT, 1/25
Hi
my latest model is another indycar, this time the 88 Indy 500 winner driven by Rick Mears. The kit originally was the Miller version, but I like the Pennzoil version better, so I got myself some decals from Indycals. I built the tub like this: first I finished the cockpit, then masked the cockpit opening from below with tape, with just a mm overlap on the edge, then glued the cockpit in the upper body part, which was painted black on the inside before. This allowed me to glue the upper body part to the floor part, sand and putty them together cleanly, and pull out the masking tape from above after painting was finished. I split the front wing in 2 halves, and put them in seperately at the end. No big problems with the kit, just the engine cowling fits onyl from the right or from the left, but not on both sides at the same time. Painted with decanted TS16, 6 and 29, Mr Hobby Super clear on Top, small parts partly Alclad Alu, partly hand brushed Aqua Color. I added belts, some wires and BMF foli here and there. There were no tire decals in the kit, so I brush painted the raised letters and weathered them a bit afterwards. Hope you like it. PS: actually this kit might have been the very first car kit I ever built. After the wall came down but shortly before actual reunification we already got the DM, shops started selling "western" model kits, and I got this kit - built it without painting, and after watching my first indycar races in 93 I handpainted it to match Mansells Newman Haas livery...

This is a great finish. I am thinking to make the Pennzoil car with a 93 Lola. Love the Pennzoil color scheme .
