Finally I joined the crowd and built a Maserati. This time it's Stirling's Monaco winner from 1956.
It's still a work in progress, it started out as a resin body from John Warren in New Zealand.
The rain deflectors were in the wrong place, and the large vents under them were missing, and naturally I had to mess around with the cockpit etc etc.
Mr Moss at the seaside having fun in number 28.
This is a slot car so it has a Richard Mack chassis, one of his new light weight chassis.
Wheels are RS with Real Al Penrose inserts
(I know they should be 3 ear knock off's, but these will have to do for a while)
Note the vent under the splash guard, it's the same on the other side too.
Not much room for a full driver, so a chest only Stirling from Immense Miniatures will have to do.
suspension detailing has to be thought out too.
After much tweeking, and a few coats of Tamiya Bright Red, it's begining to look close to the real car.
Almost finished, just a few small items to be added like rear-view mirrors.
And maybe some leaf springs for the rear suspention.
Good shot of Marc Tylers, Immense Miniatures Stirling Moss.
Great side view showing correct numbers from Michael at Indycals.
