New Forum means a new project. Like i really needed to start a new project as I have many other projects in various stages of being built. Well 1 more cant hurt, oh make it another 2. I thought it was time to return to what got me into this hobby to begin with, Transam racing cars. So the plan is to make the 1970 Javelin Transam team. Ill be building both the Donahue #6 & the Revson #9 Javelins from the 1970 Transam season.
Heres a few quick pics showing these cars. These cars really get my blood pumping.
#6 Donahue
#9 Revson
These will be in 1/25 scale. I started with a pair of Resin kits from Jimmy Flintstone. They were quite expensive to start with but alot of the hard work has been done. The body has been modified into race trim with the buldged guards & some of the race parts. When you place this T/A body next to a stock body the difference is huge. This modified body is really nice. Unfortunately loads of cleanup is needed on the body. But with a bit of time & patience they come up nice. Heres a body after 90minutes of cleanup, see the 2nd body in the background that still needs to be cleaned up.
So thats where Im at. Still a huge amount to do. Im not sure which chassis I will go yet. Either a H&R or MJK or a scratchbuild. Ill keep posting photos along the way to show where Im up to. Im also working on the 1970 Richard petty team Superbirds #40 & #43. Ill get some pics up for those at some stage.
