Sabrejet Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Finally finished! I started this a good while ago, took a break and then had to find all the bits (in four separate boxes!) to finish it. The kit is Revell's 1/24 Audi R10, which comes with decals for Le Mans cars. However I wanted to do an American Le Mans Series (ALMS) entrant, so it needed new decals (Studio 27) and a few mods, mainly to replace the flush front wings with the heavily-louvred items seen on the ALMS cars. Then the engine and bay were detailed, as was the cockpit, plus double dive planes on the nose, scratch-built headlights and wheels from Le Mans Miniatures. I think that's about it. RFI (ish) is here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235093097-revell-audi-r10-alms-2007/ This is the engine as built from the kit - it's OK as a starting point, but missing some key components. Also the gearbox is a bit notional: 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That is beautiful, the finish is outstanding and it's difficult to believe it started as a Revell kit! Top modelling! Keith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Lovely result there Duncan. As I delve more into Auto modelling, I'm getting quite taken by these La Mans/ALMS cars. This one is particularly inspiring. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 As usual, a stunning looking build from you. Unlike the usual, it's a bigger scale and so you seem to have crammed even more detail into it. Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do note the presence (as usual) of a number of cat hairs though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitkent Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ditto to all of the above! It looks as though the Revell kit is only 3/4 there! Very nice model,I think Revell are re releasing this? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
