Chaparral 2D

[yellowsportwagon]

1966 Nurburgring 1000km winner. Phil Hill and Joakim Bonnier driving. Simple Fujimi curbside kit. Forgot to take a done chassis picture.

Really nice looking, clean build.

That's a nice clean build Tim.

Great model of one of my favourites from Sports cars greatest era (mid-60's to early 70's).

Nice work.

I say all racing’s best period.

I got this one very reasonable. That’s why I have it. Normally they are out of my “Thats more than I’m willing to pay for that range.”

Yeah when I saw yours I was going to be inspired to build.  Til I saw the going prices on ebay right now.  ?

I got mine much cheaper. Been looking a couple years. I like this version of the car better than the earlier version one monogram did.

[Phildaupho]

Great looking model of my favorite Chaparral

[Danno]

Sweet.

[slusher]

Awesome!

[Snake45]

Very clean, very sharp work. Well done and model on!

I'm a Chaparral fanatic, and you nailed it!

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

Jim Hall's "Roadrunners" were just that. put one on a road course and look out. They were just fast. When you dominate in racing, the controlling body outlaws the car or some part of the car. I always thought the "D" would make a really neat street car.

Beautiful execution on this old tool (‘60’s?) bare bones kit. Based on color photos of the 1:1 Chaparrals that I’ve seen, you nailed that weird burnt umber color for the inside tub. Wish Fujimi would re-issue this kit, the current EBay prices for remaining unbuilt kits are nuts.
I had the 1/24 Cox slot car version of this car (along with the Cheetah) and they are both on my long list of model and 1:1 cars that I wish I still had. Love all of Jim Hall’s race cars, like Gurney he could design and build ‘em as well as race ‘em.

Nice work on the Chaparral. What a great looking race car. I'd like to build one of these to display with my Monogram build, but as others have noted, the prices are a bit crazy right now. I'd like to see this one reissued. Here's hoping.
