1969 Vaillante 691 by Luigi 70

the livery is pretty nice now, but definitely I must replace the wheels ...

The tires are Firestone while the rims are star-shaped (five points)
I also need to customize the interior from Italian style to French style...
Any suggestions or advice is always appreciated (but not criticism , because make me angry     )

@ Wookey
I opened this new topic to not break your interesting progressive...

Great ! This is the Livery of Ickx' car, (yellow front wing is Belgium color, like yellow line in his Ferrari) if we assume he stayed one year longer. Michel Vaillant car would be mainly blue with some white, and Warson's in reverse colors.

sorry Philippe, but I took this model as a reference  ...

but is not a problem for me  change the color to the front wing ...  
Is ok the race number ?

LOL ! the model is wrong, but it has been authorized by Graton editor ! The poor old man (or rathe rthose who speak for him) had forgotten why 40 years ago he painted the wings yellow and for who

Now as 1969 is simply out of our imagination, we must choose a race for our low wing version. So it must be post Monaco. I suggest the German GP where Jacquy Ickx is already entered on a Brabham. So that let Michel Vaillant with the #18 blue car with white wings, and Steve Warson #19 white car with blue wings.

Another solution is French GP with#16 and 17.

Unfortunately, the work proceeded slowly ..


I am no fast longer as  Luigi 70 of past, I'm starting to get old ...

Dear Luigi, you're someone who cares about what you realize. Compared to people who watch only the appearance, otherwise controls very well the substance. As we age we improve their techniques. In my opinion is what sets a master from a simple apprentice.

thanks Wookey for the wonderful words that you always reserve me    
in the meantime, I'm working on Steve Warson's car ...  


I was wondering if you could do for this car too, one of your usual "MainBK.jpg"

Very nice, but is it grey, or only the lack of light on white?
I'll do the MainBk with great pleasure. I try to find time today, because tomorrow I go to spend 1 week in your wonderful country "con la moglie" and I will not be able to do so before early April.

this is the skin template,


if for you this is too dark, I can try to lighten it a little ...

PS: if we travels near Naples don't forget to call me, so we can meet for a good pizza
