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. ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/5tm8fc74d/masser_2.jpg) 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) ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/8npdst45p/Masser_34.jpg) Note the vent under the splash guard, it's the same on the other side too. ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/hvhm9iixp/Masser_23.jpg) 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.![](https://s20.postimg.cc/hdeag61i5/Maser_6.jpg) Almost finished, just a few small items to be added like rear-view mirrors. ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/gnvi3uyel/Maser7.jpg) And maybe some leaf springs for the rear suspention. ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/wyvm06im5/Maser_3.jpg) Good shot of Marc Tylers, Immense Miniatures Stirling Moss. ![](https://s20.postimg.cc/6qkhat68d/Maser_4.jpg) Great side view showing correct numbers from Michael at Indycals.
