1953 & 1954 Kurtis Fuel Injection Special

[pntmachine]

This is a Bill Jorgenson 53-54 Kurtis kit I got long ago and couldn’t decide which year to do so I chose the the 53. I got lucky enough to find another kit a few weeks ago so I am going to do the 54 next. The paint I used was a color suggested by Calvin Tamiya AS 4 Violet Gray which turned out well I think. The decals are Indycals. I added a gear box and steering linkage. Wheels are one piece and quite the challenge as well as the tread pattern being off but not much I could change on that. Thanks and hope you enjoy.

Thank you Calvin, I looked back and saw your post on this car and it inspired me to find it and finish it. Thanks for the color recommendation.

Thank you
I spent a lot of time researching those colors and everyone seemed to agree back then.

Very nice job on both of them! I have those in my stash, from Rick Faeth (post-Jorgensen). Any hints on the color you used on the 1954 version?

Thanks Brian I actually went with Tamiya AS16 Light Grey (USAF). I did not know Rick continued with this kit.
