Here's my mostly finished up 2017 Team Toro Rosso squad. I haven't painted a lexan body in about 15 years, so there's a few imperfections, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Brad at F1paintlab produced a very nice decal set. Both bodies are Speed Passions F-68's. One chassis is my F103/104 hybrid and the other a F201. Few details to work out still but they should look stellar on track

I just got these bodies in today from Hong Kong, I had never saw these bodies anywhere so I grabbed em. Hard to see but the green tinted one is Ayrton Senna's 1983 F3 car and the other is a Mclaren MP4/2. Neither one will be original paint althought the MP4/2 will be close though. Goin Alfa Romeo on at least one.

In recent years, the only Protoform F1 bodies that I recall are the Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen. SpeedPassion made a body known as the F68 that offered a rear fin addition. Could these bodies be SpeedPassion and not Protoform?

Thank you! But don't quit! We need more nice F1 cars at our local tracks 😁

Mine came with the body kit I bought. In my case I used Speed Passions F68 which comes with a couple different "shark fin" shapes and four different nose shapes.

You are totally correct. My F103 has protoform wings but yes the bodies are Speed Passions. I just mixed them up lol

I hope this one doesn't enlarge.

This is supposedly Senna's 1983 F3 body, I attempted a 1982 Alfa Romeo, I call it "Lipstick on a Pig" someone else has called it a good upgrade to a roller skate and one of Scottie Pippen's NIKE's. I mean how do you respond to that? I GOOGLE'd it and it was there. Body is frikkin LONG Mr. Bigglesworth. Good thing is it came with decals, and nothing at all against whoever molded the body, the real one looks the same. MP4/2 body next and not Alfa Romeo I think its out of my system, going Niki Lauda's 1982 World Champ McLaren car, which is basically one of my typical Marlboro liveries with a Lauda helmet.

And on top of that Force India changed there scheme up just enough that the side pod decals are now where they would have been a breeze to put on and painted the wings pink. I'm out of PS-11 pink so hell with 'em

Usually I like to mimic real paint schemes. But this time I decided to try a custom. It turned out somewhat plausible.

If by that fancy use of the word plausible you really mean Bad Ass then I agree.
