Russ, there's some good info in Mike Quarterman's article on the W196 in MRRN.

I latched onto a Protar W196 kit yesterday, all new, still bagged inside. It was $15, how could I resist. The wire wheels are some of the nicest I have ever seen in plastic and were alone worth the price I paid for the kit. I'm looking forward to making it. Fangio was always someone that I admired. I'll be watching this thread and if I get started on mine I can post some progress perhaps. It's pretty far back in the queue though  |

This may sound strange, but the very old Merit kit is more accurate than the newer Protar kit!! Both kits require chassis scratch building.

I absolutely agree... I have the Gordini, both Maseratis, the Connaught, the Lancia-Ferrari D50 and the F3 Cooper: excellent bodies in excellent plastic... fantastic bases...
