Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

I have a feeling the person whose Facebook page I am borrowing these shots from posts here or perhaps just lurks? If so maybe they wish to take credit for finding them. All I know is that I've never seen them previously and shots of this livery are super-rare!







Enjoy!

Kind of an unfortunate image, but another one I had not come across:



A few more new ones for me:

I should have known, or at least guessed probably, but my newest friend on Facebook is none other than Davidoff41.

If you liked any of those images, find one of his posts and give to him.

Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

Hates to make a repost, but here it is:
I am having another problem with the custom project, this time the decals is the main concern. As i am now trying to cut open the model, a new set of decals for the 1996 FINA #38 short tail is needed. Sadly, that's no where to be found. So i'm thinking of using these: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=d64f9...C%219813&sff=1, which are the decals of the Longtail GTR FINA 1997 + a set of British flag. Would that work? I mean were there major differences (in terms of size and shape) between the long tail FINAs and the short tails of 1996?

Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

Your link isn't working for me but knowing the designs of the 1996 and 1997 liveries were really quite different. Perhaps you could use decals from one for the other but I can't guarantee it. The French flag woudn't be too difficult to mask and paint on the car - the British one a fairly small challenge.

Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

Here are the decals i am planning to use:
The FINAs: http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/a...er111/Fina.jpg
The FINA decals of 1997: http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/a...ngtail1997.jpg
And the Union Jack: http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/a.../UnionJack.jpg
Of course these will be of higher resolution when i actually use them. One important thing to note - was the Union Jack sketched? I know that's the case for the French flag but was the Brits' flag also crooked?
The lettering of drivers' names can be custom made- i'm quite sure and can order them. The problem is whether or not the red and white stripe of the 1997 long tail will eventually fit the short tail?

Found some old but interesting "new to me" photos of the 13R/14R LARKs as they were in 1996 from a Japanese web site and thought to share, enjoy!

Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

There seems to be plenty of detailed photos of the RH footwell area of 1996 GTR's but I know the 1995 cars did not have the footwell fully filled in like the 96 cars. Has anyone got any nce detailed pics of this area of a 95 GTR?

Amazing thank you very much, any idea why they changed the layout for 1996?

Re: GTR Racing Livery - Index

Drawing from a sometimes feeble memory - didn't they relocate the battery there for 1996?
