Fast Canis Lupus...1/20 Wolf WR 1 1977
9/2024
After a longer pause, my dad finished another race car.
Tamiya kit, first released in 1978, this is the 2010 edition with Cartograf decals. Sadly they didn´t perform as used to, so painted all the gold on the main body with Gunze H9 Gold. For the blue my dad used Mr Paint Sea Blue. Didn´t add much detail, only some lead wire for tubing and wiring in the engine area.
Well, the kit shows its age regarding engineering, molding and fit and my dad didn´t finish it glitch-free.

Walter Wolf Racing, a British-Canadian team with roots in the Williams team, active from 1976 to 1979, lead by Austrian-Canadian businessman Walter Wolf
Japan GP 1977 (therefore the Tamiya add on the engine cover), piloted by South African Jody Scheckter
Neat work on bringing this kit up to scratch, I seem to remember having similar problems with the gold markings. Walter Wolf was a complete car enthusiast.
I love it! As a kid I built the big one. It was a spectacular mess but I was so proud!
Great timing with this post, we just watch the Movie RUSH for the 10th time last night and I am in a GP kinda mood.
Nice job with the build and finishing.
A wonderful build, Reinhard @grimreaper
Looks really cool in black/gold painting.
Love it, Reinhard!
Well done!
Interesting F1 build.
Great to see this car built up so well Reinhard!
