                        Very nicely done, building is tough enough, let alone disassembling before you build! Nice engine compartment detail. The CART series used to be my favorite racing series before "the split" occurred and I still like the looks of the cars. I bet the nice folks at Tamiya that sent the decals might enjoy a few pics of the finished carBig Smile [:D]

                        Thank you! The engine it is the only part that need the big work on this kit. The guy that build it painted it in dark metallic silver, I repainted it in lighter silver, and after some dry drushing I had what you can see.  After scratch build some electric parts, and add cable/pipe...

                        I found online a pic of a Lola Ford build out of box, as you can see around the engine there is pretty much nothing... :)

                        That's beautiful! And it's really nice that Tamiya sent you the decals. The engine is incredible, what did you do to it?

                        Hello guys! This is the last work done... The model is a Tamiya Lola Ford T93/00 Duracell drove by Raul Bosesel in 1/20. It is kind of the Snap Kit Revell. This kit was already build, and gave to me to a SABA member a the last club reunion (August). During the reunion, I start to remove some parts for see who made it, but nothing... Some members guess was made by Tamiya... So searched on internet and yes, was made by Tamiya.
                        Here all the parts removed... :)

                         

                        On the model the decals were missing, so I ask Tamiya if they could send me some. So last week I received a yellow envelope fro Tamiya!!! smile.gif
                        New decals.... smile.gif

                        And here the model...

                        Here it open, the engine had some addition. I scratch build pretti much every things around it.

                        Thank you for looking...
