II received this Ampersand 1/43 kit from Bo at this year Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. I was really grateful to receive it because I never was able to purchase one when they were available and it’s the only 86C I have. It didn't have decals so it gave me a chance to use some of Michael's. They were really great and sized perfect for this kit (Thanks Michael). The only thing I did was put Tameo wheels on it not that anything was wrong with the kit wheel I just got lazy since these wheels were already plated so it saved me some steps. I added seat belt buckles and re- sized the rear wing end plates. For some reason I could only post one photo. If anyone wants to see any more view let me know I can post them later.  |

Very nice. I have some older Ampersand kits that I will be doing and can't wait. Some of the decals are looking very questionable but hope I can sun clear them. Beautiful job on this and would love to see more photos as well.

IndyCals has had a few Ampersand kit to size decals to so he might be able to help you out if the kit decals are too old.

The build is very well done, I like 1/43 and think you do a great job with these cars. 1986 was the first time I made it to Indy, if not for raining all the first weekend, it would have been the year that I first saw an Indy 500.

Beautiful job on this and would love to see more photos as well. Kevin Kevin: I still have decals for most of the kits I did, so please let me know if you need any. I have found that leaving the decals out in the sun does remove most of the yellowing, but I'll have to admit that some of the decals still have a yellow tint even after sitting in the sun for a few days. But if you - or anybody else on the board - need decals, just pm me. The only ones I'm missing are the Beatrice and Domino's decals for the 85 Lolas. Bo |

Looking at the photos its hard to tell its 'small' scale. Thats a sure sign of a well built 1/43 model. Really great work.
