Hey all. So we had a feeler post about this awhile ago and there was some really great interest. keavdog has some experience running an F1 group build over on that other forum. Well he and I wanted to do something like that over here but more open. So this group build is for anything and everything open wheel. Formula 1, Indy car, Sprint cars, modifieds, F3000, Rails, whatever you guys want to build. Also we don’t care if the project is already started. We just want to see a lot of people building these open wheel cars. Officially I think we’re going to run this from July 1st of this year through July of next year. This allows the current automotive group build to finish up. But if you get a head start I won’t tell. We Want everyone to have plenty of time for their projects. Please build more than one entry. Drop your entries in here and we can start to get an idea. And hopefully we can get a sub board going for build threads. I think I’m going to start out with my favorite plastic kit. The classic AMT Lola T8800. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

I have a couple of builds lined up for this. But I will start out with a Ferrari 158 done in the N.A.R.T. livery that was raced for the final two rounds of the 1964 season. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2enBQ15xHpLjS.jpg) After that, I will do the Lotus 49 from the Dutch GP in 1967 which was the initial race for that car. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2EAN8QWxHpLjS.jpg) And if there is time left, then the Eagle T1G of Dan Gurney.

Awe some stuff! Can't wait to get started here - I've been wanting to build a few of my kits but holding off for this group build Kyle and I talked about. I'm also hoping my Salvinos Jr McLaughlin Indy car gets here soon. That is a for sure for this GB. Besides that, I'll pick out of this pile ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/OEAPhNo.jpg)

Count me in! To honor John's F1 GB on the other forum of which I was a participant, but did not complete because I gave up on trying to login and access normally I will be completing the build I had started there first. Tamiya 1/20 Lotus Type 79 from the 1978 season ![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Model-Cars/Car-Builds/Tamiya-Lotus-Type-79/i-3NFsDBD/0/D9cP4WgrxG45vmzSDbcNZgn5kntfVb4WrFZqh6pXR/XL/IMG_1184-XL.jpg) Once complete I will start a new build which will be the Tamiya 1/20 Honda RA272 ![](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-24j4TH9/0/nMQnbnBxrxrWXQTQ2FcnNm4gGjQKgTvq3C9QKWMm/XL/i-24j4TH9-XL.jpg)

That Honda remains one of my favorite ever kits. It is glorious.

Allright John! Not only am I happy to see you joining the GB, but I can't wait to follow along as I have that same kit in the stash. Curious how to address painting and the body panels/exhaust. And now I have that 3d printed engine and grill to tackle as well.

It is much better, especially the wheels. I'd like to find another Talbot Lago just to use the wheels on the Alfetta. Haven't found a good enough deal yet. If Heller were like Eduard they would sell the wheels separately.

If you throw a different engine in it you can save the Blueflame 6 for something else.

Oh man. That Monogram type 35 is one of Monograms best efforts. It holds up today. I Cannot WAIT to see you tackle this auto Union Gary. With a year at your disposal you can take your time and I have no doubt you can tackle it. Pinto’s models are not easy but I’ve seen your work and I know you’re going to be just fine.
