Greg Moore's Player's Reynard 2009 marked the 10th anniversary of the death of Canadian race car driver Greg Moore. I decided to build his version of the Player's sponsored Reynard Indy car as a tribute. Indycals makes an excellent set of decals for the car. Since there is no engine in the kit, it was a pretty straightforward build. I tried the two part Hiroboy clear coat and probably did not thin it enought. The model sat, almost complete until mid 2011 when I decieded to complete it the way it was. Base Kit(s): AMT Motorola Reynard (kit number 85-2339) Finished: July 2011 Modifications/Additions: - front wings end plates removed, thinned down and replaced - rear wing end plates replaced with 0.5 mm (0.020") sheet styrene - front suspension was removed so that body seam could be filled in - decals are from Indycals - body paint is Tamiya acrylic blue (meant for RC bodies), chassis and suspension is Tamiya semi-gloss black acrylic, both applied using and airbrush.
