1/24 Cox Ferrari 158 F1 - Mexico Version


Recommended Posts

Here's a Mexico version of the Cox Ferrari 158. I've still got to do some clean up and the driver is not quite finished. I've completely redesigned the front suspension. I wanted a little more detail to fit the rear detail when it's done. There's 5 parts to this design and this one on the car is just the mock up. I'll add brake lines later. I scratch built the oil cooler on the side of the car as well. Should have the finial photos soon. Onward brothers!

Looks good ! Look forward to seeing it unfold.

What did you make the grey piece from ? Are the torsion bars made of piano wire, if so, how do you keep them looking polished ? Your builds are of a high standard to aspire to, so I hope you dont mind the questions ? Any piano wire I polish soon ends up dull. I smear the wire with some CRC (WD40) but this does not last. Is clear coat of some kind the go ?

Gorgeous. I love the look of grit and determination you've managed to capture on the driver too.

Computers. They'll never catch on.
