Thanks Noel for the nice comments! As for your question yes the roadsters can be entered in the IPMS Nationals. I have entered several 1/43 scale scale white metal kits in the various "Small Scale Automotive" classes (1/32 scale and smaller) at several IPMS USA Nationals over the years. I would love to bring "Old Calhoun" and several other of my small scale builds "Across The Pond" to show at Telford one year. Scale Modelworld is a show on my "bucket list"!

Thank you Gary! They were alot of fun to build. I got couple more 1/43 scale vintage Indy cars I want to build in the next couple of months.

I have not posted anything in awhile so I thought I would post some pictures my recently completed pair of 1963 Indy Novi Roadsters in 1/43 scale. These are white metal 1/43 scale kits from SMTS that took a little more than a month to build. I added some detail here and there to each model. They were a lot of fun to build and I was really happy with the end result.
