Blown Hemi '32 survivor, mockup

I've been buying a lot of junk recently....got this little pink early early AMT '32 roadster body shell a while back...

The paint had a lot of trash, it was pink, and the clear carrier film was badly darkened on the flame decals. I started to strip it, but decided instead to see what I could come up with as a "save-the-patina" project, and combine a lot of other junk parts I wasn't really happy with, to get that just-back-on-the-road kind of look.

This is the result, and again, I've had more actual fun with this one day project than I've had with a model in quite a while.

Toro Rosso STR06 – Double Floor (Scarbsf1's Blog)
"Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR) launched their car on the first day of the Valencia test. It’s significance has been somewhat lost amongst the fanfare of the front running teams cars and the innovation of the midfield runners. However the new STR06 deserves more attention, as it has some unique aerodynamic concepts that are drawing praise from other teams engineers. STR have been able to reduce the cooling and packaging demands placed on the sidepods. Thus with a smaller sidepod envelope, the team have revived an old concept from Ferrari, the double floor."
