Shaynus Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 G'day All I finally succumbed and bit the bullet on a NSR F1. Me being me, it had to be done in Gulf colours. As a side note, Gulf have come on board as a sponser with the Mclaren F1 team. Unfortunately, while applying the clear coat, the body slipped off it's stand and landed in a box full of dusty rubbish! Noooooo!! I picked the cobwebs and dirt off as best I could, but the remnants are still there to be seen. Oh well, so be it. I wasn't going to start again! Being a car I race, and especially being an open wheeler, I can't be too precious about the paint anyway... Hopefully the view seen by my competitors... And compared to my Proslot F1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinno Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Nice, I can’t actually recall a F1 car with a full Gulf livery. Maybe add some tyre marks and other weathering to the dirty area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaynus Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeah, a total fantasy livery to suit my whimsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gunn Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 And why not i do lots of fantasy liveries and think it,s one way of increasing the interest of a generic car anyway, thinking of a Martini myself on top of the Merc i did a while ago.

dangermouse Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 You could try polishing it with a mild auto cutting compound - that may remove a fair bit of the dust and fluff. If the rag starts showing blue you have gone too far Once you clear the dust off - hit it with clear again. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Lane Posted May 20, 2024 Report Share Posted May 20, 2024 I’m painting up an NSR 86/89 F1 car for a friend who wants a Gulf livery. I’m fascinated by your version but plan on using part of an unused decal sheet for a Policar F1. It needs some serious butchery but I think it may work. I’ll post pictures later.

big dennis Posted May 30, 2024 Report Share Posted May 30, 2024 This is the only Gulf-sponsored Formula 1 car I've come across. I hope the pictures come out OK. I have so many of the Scalextric Tyrrell 007 cars and obtained several sets of decals for the non-works liveries. As is often the case with me the projects are yet to come to fruition.

Vinno Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Geez the drivers look so vulnerable sitting up so high in the car. The car looks so small compared to modern cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
