My first test build came out very well.....the next ones will even be better I predict. But most of all thank you to Michael P. for putting up with me through 6 long months of hard work! and also to everyone that has purchased one or more of these kits or are currently on the wait list (I'm almost got yours guys' done BTW). A BIG Huge THANK YOU to all of you on the forum, for any support you have giving me though all the kits or even projects I have done over the years!

and BTW for those keeping track, only 1 more winner yet to be constructed in 1/25 scale for the 1980's

The Machine strikes again! I'm running out of superlatives Calvin.
I'm not a big Penske fan, but I've always been a Mears fan. This kit just brings back memories of Rick at Indy, where he seemed to always be lurking close to the front ready to pounce on the lead late.
This also reminds me of what a great job you do as a builder, and not just a resin caster. You, Lance, and Michael all BUILD beautiful cars and deserve praise for that.
Another winner Calvin; I can't wait to see what you do next!!!

Your attention to detail rivals that of Penske. Great Job!!! Gary

Calvin, on the rear deck of the actual car is the heat deflector a seperate piece of aluminum or some other material covering the carbon fiber. Yours looks like bare metal foil to simulate aluminum. If it's some other material would cigarette paper work?

I think it would be the best to use for that.
