2024-2025 Open Wheel Group Build

[kyledehart5]

Hey all. This is the official sub board for  our Open wheel group build. 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. keavdog and myself will be your hosts. It will run from July 1 of this year to July of next year so plenty of time for any long term projects. 


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. Please build more than one entry. Drop your entry threads below anytime you'd like. I will also get a Gallery started up in the gallery section so we can have a place for finished builds. I am going to also list the participants in this post below with your initial entries. Let me know if I miss you or need to add you. Thanks everyone who's shown interest!!

List so far of people with threads going. 

1. 2whl-  1/12 MFH Ferrari 158F1

Thanks for getting this started Kyle. This is going to be a great GB - we have so many talented auto enthusiasts here.
Monday is the official start but no body is going to complain if you crack open a kit this weekend!

[kyledehart5]

Absolutely! I am so looking forward to seeing everyone’s work. And the different subjects everyone is building.

This kit and the Rat Trap Vega look to be identical with the exception of the body shell. I'll do these two at the same time for this build
