Posting on here because of the inspiration taken from the KE007 I saw posted here.
Have been posting this on the 'other' forum
but will drop the finished item in here.
Set up to run with a SRC M23 to policar pod chassis from Arco on Shapeways.
Body done in styrene.
Home made decals.
PCR rears.
Something about it when first completed kept bugging me.
Wondered if I should have made the body a tad wider and lower.
Would have made the front nose assembly have a more swept back lower rake
which might have been more accurate.
The cockpit was right given the match to the width of the Cosworth unit.
But the front tire sat outside the front wing assembly.
I decided to go back in and narrow the front track so the fronts lined up centrally with the rears
and were tucked slightly behind the nose.
Seemed to improve the proportions but still think the body being maybe 3 to 4 mm wider would have been better.
Done now though.
One day I may come back and do another one.
Do like these Japanese racers and even looked at the JAF F2 Kojima KE008 and other
cars like the Pentax racers. But that is way off into the future.
For now I have something that I can pitch up against my much loved
Gunnar Nilsson Imperial Sponsored Lotus 78.
