The only kit that I know of that actually had the speedway "kick-ups" for the Reynard was the Jorgensen 96 Reynard resin body. You still had to make the air foils on top of the side pods for it. The car you are asking about is a later Reynard, Vasser's 99 car. None of the Revell Reynard kits provides that type of kick-ups for that car. Also, the front of the side pods are more pronounced on Vasser's car than on any of the Revell Reynard kits.
Shayne, I'm sure with your skills you should be able to easily convert a Revell Reynard to a Vasser car. I will enjoy every minute of your conversion!

To build the kickups, I'd be tempted to use a fairly thin gauge of Evergreen sheet to make it nice and malleable, and I'd also probably cut a little slot into the sidepods to use to attach the kickups by having some extra material on the kickups that goes into the slot. The shaping on the front of the sidepods, however, looks quite a bit more tedious... Not even sure how I'd approach that to be honest.

Thanks guys, I do like the idea of a cut I the side to slide the plastic card into, easy to smooth it out so it looks like it was meant to be. The front of the pods may stay as is, it’s just for my own viewing pleasure...
