Porsche Formula Junior Part 2
 
True to form the Formula Junior has proved more difficult than it 1st seemed. The Porsche is deeper than the Lotus so simples I thought, but on opening and checking I found the rear internal snap overlaps the space the Slot it cog needs. The fix is another compromise, I have shortened the wheelbase by 1mm (or 1 ¼” in the real world) so that the snap can be used avoiding having to convert to twin posts. The purists at this point are holding their hands up in horror but it keeps the conversion simple and avoids having to remove the snap and then glue posts in.
With that out of the way the main effort was profiling the underpan to fit the top half of the shell as shown. The original exhausts were part of the bottom shell so have changed this to a separate part that is glued on as this will print more cleanly if printed vertically.
 
Finished result below this is now ready for sale.
 
   
   
   

 
Now onto the BRM and that boat tail………….
