Liking the look of both of those very much, awesome work by all concerned.

Just a couple of thoughts Ti (and your opinion may vary) but could yours use a canopy/windshield and maybe some rear wing surfaces?
Bottom line though, your model and your design.

Cheers

Thanks. I had consider both. I just have not figured out how to scratch build the canopy yet. As for the  wing, I am still working out the design.

Thanks.  I used mainly parts from the original  F1 kit and parts taken from a bike as well as house materials. Especially  medicine  astma holders and misc. Parts from my scrap box.

Wow, these are great and welcome aboard.  I'm not particularly sure of the size of the model or the need for a canopy, but maybe some sort of clear plastic packaging?
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

I added a little more details:

1. Rear motor resistent protective deflectors

2. Side burners resistent protective deflectors

3. Back burner  resistent protective deflector


There will be no back-mounted wing. Changed my mind. I think it looks good without one. Still looking for a way to add a canopy to the cockpit. Until them the drive will be using his helmet.

I think this one is better without a canopy. A windshield - maybe? Canopy would work better on something that isn't so tall behind the driver - or with the tall part looking more obviously like an intake for something.
