Nice

This morning, I drilled the front shock tower.

I'm waiting on decals to arrive. Meanwhile, acquired AE newsletters

1st off nice work. This is on my list of replicas as well. Tell me about the wing. Did you use flat lexan stock and bend it yourself? What thickness stock if so?

For the wing i used a vintage Bud’s Wing #5235 trimmed down. I’ve posted a photo of the full version below. The wing is made from stiff plastic and it's thicker than most modern wings. After trimming the wing, I notched the sides to get a slight bend before gluing. For glue I used poly zap. I would like to find a glue that sets up better without the “cloudy” result. I’m fine with it for now, and I have other NOS wings if I want to try again.

City.Life,

Nice job on the JJH Replica. I posted a spreadsheet a while back that you might find helpful. It lists all of the parts, mods and decals needed. See link below:

Limestang,

Niiiiice. Thanks. This will be helpful!

HPI NiMh battery with brand new shrink wrap, intended to look vintage. On the look-out for a Novak NER-2S receiver and NESC-1 or 4 ESC

Thanks to RC10TALK's dillonhoffman for the custom machined chassis

Cool, that looks great!

Look into 3M 2mil transfer tape, slot car guys use it for wing bodies.

I added some stickers and adjusted the wing!

Nicely done, it looks great!
