Thank you all.....Jeff you ask and you shall get...


After allowing the paint to dry for a week, I started on the decal process. I have to say for a small model this car has quite a few decals to apply. The flames on the nose cone are what intimidated me the most, so I left them till near the end. This I found out later was not a mistake but it did make it somewhat harder to get them into place. My previous experience with Speedline decals was with the Bud car and they went down well, this sheet was no different except for the silver but meant to be chrome flames which were a little fragile, this you can see on the top of the left hand side pod.
I will let these dry for approx a week and then look at getting the clear on and hope it helps the colour pop.

With what seems like the last decent weekend weather wise for us here in Melbourne, I managed to get the 2K on. It went down well and I feel I won’t rub it back but just get this assembled now and hope to enter it in an upcoming comp in June.
So now it is onto the wheel, seat and suspension and all should be good and done.

Thanks for sharing your build. The Indy Reynard is one of my favorite open-wheel kits, and IMHO, under rated by many modelers. With little TLC it can be built into a sharp model by someone with average skills.

There are at least two versions of the kit that I can recall (a body update was done for 2000 season), the kits include speedway and road course wings, slick and rain tyres, engine cover fin or no fin. There are many aftermarket decals and a P/E set too!

What's not to like about all of this?
