American Racing Minatures have re-released a few of Chris Etzell's kits from years back. This is the Indy Car series that Eddie Cheever won with in 1998. It is a curbside kit, without engine, etc and comes as a mix of resin, white metal, vacuum formed windscreen, and decals. A very nice kit of an attractive subject. A lot of the panel breaks were inconsistent, so I ended up filling and rescribing most of these, and cut scribing guides from vinyl that matched the panel contours. The first photo shows sanding back after filling with CA and priming the resin upper body. There's an oval panel ahead of the cockpit that I'd filled and used a cut vinyl scribing guide to recreate, although with a fine scriber: Same thing for the lines on the upper sides: The transaxle was painted and a brass driveshaft installed to the dimensions required by the instructions. The cockpit was primed semigloss black and covered with Scale Motorsports carbon fiber decal material. The material in front of the instrument panel is in the process of snuggling down. The seat was also covered in this material. More to come as the suspension and wheels are assembled.
