K113- a cardboard F1 model

Post

After finishing the F138, i started working on an imaginary F1 car, which i called "K113". This time, taking into account all the mistakes from last time and the tips from you guys, i managed to achieve higher quality.
A list of what's better:
1) suspension- this time i have close to real wishbones and pullrods
2) thiner card- for more detail
3) printed decals- for better look
4) smoother surface

What i have to work on:
1) sidepods shape, especially where they meet the nose
2) head protection area
3) front wing detail
4) overall quality and details


Car info:
length: 185 mm, tires diameter 24mm
weight: about 35 grams
build type: as always, from scratch

And some photos (this time i don't have any from the building process :( ):

So please tell me what you think: tips for improvement are very wellcome!

Thats amazing! If I had to find a slight area of improvement it would be that the front wing is a bit narrow compared to real life, but its still MUCH better than what I could do so well done. :) =D>

Well done! If I were you I'd go for a bigger scale, maybe 1.5 to 2 times as big as that.

You would be able to get more detail into the finer parts of the car, and really make it stand out.
Good luck!

Very nice, kosio, i like it

yes the front wing could be a bit wider but it doesn't matter because its imaginary.
much better suspension :)
