Project IROC: #11 Gordon Johncock

[Eric Cole]

I thought I would post my progress to date now that I have some color on the parts.

Body painted with Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red and cleared with Tamiya clear, still needs polishing.

Looking mighty good, Eric!

Crisp as always.
Did you take those pictures at Hobby Town or is that your stash of Tamiya paints?

[Eric Cole]

Thanks guys.

LOL... Hal, that's my work bench....

Unlike the rest of us Eric's a neat freak, his work bench looks like a surgeons table.

I've been working on this thing now off and on and have pretty much finished it up.

It still needs the panel lines done, sideview mirror added, thin strip in the radiator opening and of course decals.

The only real fit problems I had with it was the rear suspension, it's just a pain to deal with but once finished sits okay.

The resin racing exhaust fit like a dream.

Also, if there are things I need to change to agree with the race version let me know...

LOL.... I actually mentioned to Matt that the kit decals, the gold and white Carrera scripts and Porsche scripts would look good on this car.

Hmmmm..... I wonder if there is another kit to be had???

Thanks, guys, for the compliments...
