Jackie Stewart's Matra-Cosworth.......finished

[arcticwolf]

I won't bore you with the rest of the build. It's done, not the best I've created, but I'll live with it. It was an experiment, take parts from  a Matra, 2 Lotus's, a McLaren, the scrap bin, tons of Evergreen stock and a mix of 3 different decal sets yields a Matra MS10, or a good facsimile of one anyway. Not race specific, more a blend of all of them out of necessity. Many errors and broken parts fixed, it won't be entering any shows but looks OK on the shelf.

You can really see it's F2 heritage when its complete, especially beside it's contemporaries - very tidy package, and potent in the hands of one of - maybe the best -  ever.

Now it can play with it's buddies:

Thanks to all who followed along.

Nice work Paul. My favorite era of open wheel cars

Nicely done, Paul! Glad to see you able to get it across the finish line! Looks great with the other models!

Paul,
The Matra looks really outstanding to me. I'd say that you turned that box full of misc parts into some quality build for sure. And in your 1/12 scale display, she looks as good any of them.

Very nice build, actually all of them in your display, and not a one of them easy to get looking so good. Color me envious!

Hi,

It looks very OK for the shelf and contest table!
Great result for this conversion which is far from being an easy job.
