roymattblack Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hello Trevor. Yes, it's not only big, it's BIG... Again, just for fun here is the gearbox against a Tamiya 1/20 Williams... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 The rear end is pretty much sorted now and it's fitted to the body. Dashboard and seat in place... Front suspension and wheels next and then it will be the front and rear wings... I've added a pic of me holding the body to give an idea of the size. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It is really big isn't it... you must make your paint supplier very happy 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry268 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Stunning, you will soon run out of display room if start collecting this size model😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thanks for looking in chaps. On the home stretch now with this monster. The front arms, uprights, hubs, brakes and wheels all sorted. Some smaller parts still to add as well as the rear wing and front wing end plates. With the rear wing on it will be a smidge over 48" long. Around 1220mm... A wee bit bigger that the average Tamiya. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XJ13 is always on my 'to do' list but at the moment I'm up to my ears on commission builds for F1 cars. Soon will be another 1/4 scale of Mansell's Williams...

foxfriend Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Nice to see you are still busy at it Roy. I have just started building the Citroen 15 Traction Avant by Heller that I purchased years back, along with your DVD of course. Also about halfway through the Pocher Alfa Romeo. Been busy of late moving home, but we are finally settled where we have always wanted to be, in South Norfolk. So, when are you going to build a 1/1 scale?

Mr Mansfield Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 What a beast! Not sure how I missed this build. I dint even know you could get 1/4 scale kits! impressive build, I’d guess at 5hat scale any flaws would really show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roymattblack Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's in the 'completed' section now. Thanks to those who peeped in and commented. Actually sold now so no need to worry about display space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
