Hi all due to the kindness of Richard, this arrived today all the way from the US of A.    It looks an amazing kit, obviously since it was a kind donation I have decided to take greater care than I did with the RE20 first thing I noticed was the fuel lines are way out of scale they should be 8mm which scales down to 0.7mm roughly (slightly less than that its actually 0.67recuring) the supplied clear tubing is 1.33mm  After heating and stretching I have a very close  That is about all I will get done before the funeral. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this. |

Not at home at the moment (father in laws funeral) (will be sadly missed) but before I left home I managed this much    Where would I find pics of this engine, I google it but all I get are pics of this kit in various stages of build. |

Looks a great kit, look forward to the build !
(although I admit I'd be tempted to use the wheels\tyres, suspension and engine on something else !! )

Power and drive train detail work are at a premium here Ken. Looks like the real deal.

Hi all back off hols so now eager to get back at this.     Whilst on hols I won a revell ex protar F1 for a really great price (yes the box is really battered but the bits all look good) I've seen one on there with a starting bid of 197 quid I paid no where near that. Can anyone guess what it is. |

OK so these decals are 40 years old and have had a tendency to break up so last night I spent 2 hrs getting these together and was patting myself on the back about the great job I had done, only to see this morning they looked like this.  No recovery from that one, I looked on indycal but they are all printed on a black background, I'm a bit worried that it may not be the same as the black the one I've Sprayed the rest of the car with. Anyway the rest of the decals went on OK.  |

The body fit and decals are a shame but you should be proud of the way this has turned out, this is still an amazing build!
