Max Papis Miller/Harley Davidson 1999 Reynard

Post by Shunter »

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.

Thank you....
I forgot to add an image of the car to remind those who cannot recall it. Unfortunately the wings for the Miller decals are not chrome on the Speedline decal sheet which is a shame but they will do.

Hello Shayne,

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

Cheers

Can't wait to see this one come together. I'm sure the paintwork will be fantastic.

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 8)

Well seeing I have everything carved up and stuck together, I took the opportunity to get a flat black base coat on.

Still some decent weather here so I managed to get the flat black rubbed back, and then the lovely TS51 Racing Blue on the parts. I am hoping to get that nice deep blue with a great shine, I think/hope that once the decals are on and the 2K it will pop.....
