I was looking at the Monogram 1/24 Olds Aerotech kit, the main tub is a March 84C and it has a lot of possibilities. It would need to be skinned and a body created but might may a detailed 84C ANY Thoughts?  Chris  |

The Aerotech was built around an 85 March, as is the Monogram kit: If you look at this image, this is clearly an 85C tub  And the kit:  |

Yep thats 100% 1985 March....its almost like they wanted to make a cockpit that gave the drivers a headlock. (if that makes sense)
That would just take a tremendous amount of work to make a body for that....
and the truth of it is that not very many people really care about the 85 March.....I dont mind the 85 March but just from my observation of peoples likes.

Strange ..the Road & Track article and Wikapedia show it as being based on the 84C tub.. but they are not always right... Chris

I came across one source that said it was an 84C... and another that said it was driven by THREE-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt  |

...and another that said it was driven by THREE-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt Won't Sneva, Al Unser, Rodger Ward, or Eddie Sachs be happy to hear that!! LOL If we can choose, I think Sachs should get the nod.... Cool project, I have this kit, too. Jordan |

I pulled out my " March" book that shows all the chassis' made and the Aerotech chassis designated 85-O was used , they made 2 for the project.. Solves that!! Chris

Next I think I will check the Monogram March kit and see if any of the body could be used....

I have a vac-u-form 85C body that if it fit would be pretty close to the right thickness as a skin for the chassis.. but arch that is why I called this thread, March Thoughts.. just thinkin, and it does hurt by the way!!
