Max Papis Miller/Harley Davidson 1999 Reynard
I thought it was time to actually do some modeling. I have always liked the look of the Reynard, and the blue of this special scheme was just too good not to do. The car represents the one that Max Papis drove during the 1999 season for team owner Bobby Rahal.
I started with the Revell #8 Shell Reynard and proceeded to remove the rear tail vane, plus while I was cutting and removing I also removed the front suspension arms, I like to make it easier to fill that joint line. I also cut through the bottom part of the tub, this will allow me to get the seat into the painted tub later on, I did it on the Bud car and it made life very easy, I think Dave T did this so i have borrowed the great tip.
So nothing too drastic as yet, I'm hoping for a quick easy build, I do love how these kits fit together so well.

Hello Shayne,
Looks cool, if the decals are not chrome, the metallic blue seems really beautiful, I always like this Reynard.
Cheers

It's always nice to see interesting open wheelers different from the F1 territory!
In case of these Lolas and Reynards in the late 90's your choice of the car is great
