The Racing and Competition G.B. General Discussion

[jcf]

I have no problem with a race team entry, and I doubt Fred will either,
you could do the pit if you wanted and I'd consider it a single entry.

[PR19_Kit]

Mechanical stuff I can, but I'm limited with architecture. 

Thanks for the judgement.

[jcf]

Architecture? I was looking forward to a grid girl or two.   

[PR19_Kit]

Funny you should say that, I found a Fujimi set of 1/24 figures in The Loft and there's two girls in the set, one 'wearing' a swimming costume by De Vilbiss............. 

[zenrat]

I'm good with a whole team being one entry.
And tobacco sponsorship is fine despite my vehement hatred of smoking (i'm the worst sort of ex-smoker - the zealot  )

[PR19_Kit]

Thank you kindly, I'll get on with acquiring the various bits, but I have most of it in The Loft anyway. 

[PR19_Kit]

I know it doesn't start for 3 weeks plus, but when can we start posting pics of 'the ingredients'?

[jcf]

I can't speak for Fred, for myself I'd say feel free to start your build threads at any time,
just not the actually chopping, twirling back kicks etc. until November 1.

[zenrat]

Go for it.  Post away to your hearts content.  Just don't start anything.

Knowing what you are planning Kit you're going to need all three weeks to lay everything out...

[PR19_Kit]

I haven't got all the bits yet either. 

I hope the postmen are on top their game this week.

Waiting on my Valom 1/144 Texan/Harvard kits to arrive, they're due around the 16th.

I've always wanted to put an aircraft engine into a car or truck. With my collection of 1/24 and 1/25 cars in need of restoration an idea is forming in my head.
There have been many racing Austin Mini conversions, as I have one in the stash there should be enough reference material on line .
Which leaves the Jaguar E-type and Ford Crown Victoria as whiffs. The other cars are in storage boxes stacked in a cupboard. " Break glass when spares bins are empty".

[Dizzyfugu]

There was a Land Rover with a Merlin engine...

[PR19_Kit]

Many years ago I built a drag racing Chevy van with a Merlin engine in the back, driving the rear axle through a boat V-Drive and with the exhausts going out through the roof.

It for comprehensively broken when we moved from one end of the Forest to the other in 1983, but I still have all the bits. I'll try and take some pics soon.
