Revell 1\24 Jordan Mugen Honda EJ10

[peterairfix]

I only got this one today but I have been desperate to get my paws on one.
So here it is while not a patch on the tamiya ones and not many parts only 52 they are well moulded no flash and a tiny amount of mould lines and they build into a decent kit.I have included a PIC of the box back as it contains so others that I would like to get my paws on.
And the decels aren't bad either.[ATTACH]277077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277082[/ATTACH]

Nice kits I have 3 f1s myself hopefully one day I'll do one of them. Look forward to your build and I'll be watching intently. Cheers John

Thanks for watching I have never done a revell one with the grooved tyres and trying to get them off is a bit of a pain I will explain more when I get my pics up as I normally start on the wheels when I do on of these kits.

Now that's a blast from the past Peter I'm sure I built one of these a few years ago but it wasn't a Revell kit did tamiya release a EJ10 ?

I only know of the Jordan 191 by tamiya and revell have done 197 and the EJ10 but I have never known of any others

Great to see this on the grid.

Made a start and as with these builds I always start on the wheels and these are a pain the first pics are from first gloss black coat decels and they a fiddly to get right and then a top coat of gloss.
The tyres are even worse the one on the left were cut out and the right one was just pull out and you can see the difference[ATTACH]277146[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277149[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277150[/ATTACH]

Now this looks very nice Peter although as you have pointed out it has its small issues.
Love the wheels and those decals must have mare you ##**!! A few times
I've never tried my hand at a F1 car before so I'll watch this one to see how Easy you make them seem to build

Regards

I forgot to include the finished tyres and as you can see the decel curves do not match the tyre curve and this a problem that only seems to be with the grooved tyre kits[ATTACH]277161[/ATTACH]

Good start peter , a reminder of the time when Formula 1 was a lot more varied and interesting , the Jordan Hondas always looked superb in the yellow with the hornet scheme., cheers tony

Here's the latest update I have started on the main body and the front suspension is together and the first of the decels are on and followed by a top coat of gloss[ATTACH]277373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277374[/ATTACH]

Really cracking on with this Peter, love it. I agree with Tony, this period of motor sport had the most character in the vehicles. Overnight ones are amazing machines but, I don't know, they are like modern cars, computer designed and generated sameness. Loving this build.

Here's the final build pics and yes I know it's a quick build but being only 52 pieces not a big kit as there are more decels than parts.
The pics show the rear tub and suspension along with the cockpit and steering wheel and the all most complete body[ATTACH]277426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]277434[/ATTACH]

Loving this Peter and such a cracking build ( I think you should be classed the decal King for all those decals you got on board

Really is a cracking looking racer.
