Had a great time Gil! Kudos to IPMS First Coast for doing such a great job!

Sorry for not seeing this sooner It won the automotive competition open wheel class at the Nats.

A 1/43 scale Weslake Eagle F1 I did 2 years ago. Built from an SMTS kit..

Thanks for the suggestions Eric and Tim!

Thank you Gary! That means a lot coming from such a talented builder as yourself!!

After 2 Years I finally finished my build of Parnelli Jones's 1963 Indy 500 Winning Watson Roadster. Nicknamed "Ole Calhoun its one of the last of the front engine Indy roadsters to win Indy (The last roadster to win the 500 was in 1964 when AJ Foyt crossed the line first with his Watson roadster.) The Indy Roadsters of this era were some of the most beautiful race cars ever to race and many would argue "Ole Calhoun" was one best looking By 1965 virtually all of these front engine beasts were rendered obsolete with the onslaught of European rear engine F1 style racers. So this car represents a time of transition for Indy.. I started with a 50 year old original AMT kit which I proceeded to modify extensively over a 2 year period to get it to look "Right" I finished this build earlier this week just in time for the IPMS Nationals in Columbia SC I have extensive work in progress picture library on My facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/andy.caldwell.948/media_set?set=a.10203741673887813.1073741849.1397358827&type=3&pnref=story The Indy Car modeling forums at http://indycarmodeling.proboards.com/thread/1626/parnelli-jones-watson-roadster-finished The Open Wheel modeling forums at http://mb2501.proboards.com/thread/7302/parnelli-jones-watson-roadster-finished Anyway here are completed pictures of the build

Thought I'd post this search out on the forum what I'm looking for Resin/white metal 1/43 scale car kits.. Manufacturers such as Starter Provence Moulage, Tameo, BBR, MFH, SMTS etc. Vintage Indy car kits (whatever scale) Just trying to find some kits that interest me Thanks!
