I just took this kit out of stock. Poor quality AMT model: coarse casting very bad adjustments Before false False wheels unusable decals etc ............. In short, a kit that I should not have taken out, but hey I'll try to make something "drinkable" (at least I hope) The real one who won the 500 miles in 1974  The box:  décal ordered at Indycals  Beguinning of build elongated front and front wing end redone finer than those in the kit              |

The Offy looks really good. Nice work so far on correcting the kit, too.

I know these kits are a mess to build just from posts throughout the internet. You’ve got this looking good!

That's really looking good Lascar. I just started Sellars M16 Mclaren kit. Doing Gary Bettenhausen's 72 Indy car. If mine turns out as good as yours,I'll be tickled pink...we'll...maybe just tickled.

Look at what it takes to turn the early kits into something to be proud of. Great work and effort.

Turned out great considering what you had to work with! I still plan to build one of these terrible kits one day but every time I look at them it puts me off. 😂 Great job
