What you see here is just a small portion of an incredible Work in Progress (WIP) featured on the F1M forum. The story of this model, the photos and text showing how it was built, and the finished product are all impressive. Some have called it a master class in model building, but I think the professor is way ahead of his students in this case. Congratulations to our member JayKay for completing his project and establishing the gold standard in WIP articles.

Lotus 56B Offenhauser Indy Car
1/25 Lotus 56B Offenhauser Indy Car
by Chris Hale
For the 1969 Indy 500, Art Pollard qualified the converted Lotus 56b “Offy” in 12th place. After 7 laps the drive line snapped, and the car finished 31st.
This is a replica of that car, after 5 months of work the results are obvious, 120+ RB Motion turned Aluminum bolts, washers and nuts, over 6 feet of Stainless, Aluminum and Brass rod and tubing, numerous feet of styrene sheet and rod.
No putty or filler was used in the body modifications; it’s all styrene. There are over 40 hose clamps, as well as many feet of hose and wire.
Months of research went into the build. With only a half dozen pictures of the actual car, many hours of engineering went into the build process. Based on the MPC 1968 STP Turbine kit, there are no original kit parts left, only scratchbuilt or modified parts. What were originally some 95 kit parts became over 600 parts.
I want to personally thank the members of the Open Wheel Racing Forum
for their Help, Support and Devotion to my project.
