Awesome Calvin. How about showing us a finished kit? Michael is surely working on one I imagine.

Technically 'this' is the first one I saw... any interest in a Steve Krisiloff version?   |

Ah Michael, will we find the decals for Mario’s car under Winners or Other Iny Cars? 😊

PS. Does the TS53 work for both the 1981 and 1982 cars?

Awesome Calvin. How about showing us a finished kit? Michael is surely working on one I imagine. I'm currently working on one. It's hard to get around to it when I have to produce so many kits. It's a lot of work. I sometimes feel like I need to scale out my business and hire someone to build my show cars! LOL |

... any interest in a Steve Krisiloff version? It would be EXTREMELY easy for you to make Krisiloff version LOL...I'm sure you'd sell one. I guess if this kit gets REALLY popular maybe a Dennis Firestone, Gordon Smiley, and a 1982 Chip Ganassi ...  |

BTW thank you for your Wildcat order today, Paul... I sent it off yesterday  You'll be getting it via HobbiTime drone service  |

Well crap, I missed the delivery! I went out for my usual Saturday morning breakfast and a trip to HobbyTown with a good buddy of mine, and when I came home I found my HobbiTime shipment on my doorstep. Which in itself was very unusual as the shipping address was my P.O. Box, but I digress. I was so hoping to see Calvin’s new drone service. I’ll have to order again soon so I can time the delivery for when I’m home. Thanks Calvin!  Paul Erlendson |

I will have to say that as far getting this looking “right”, Calvin is spot on with this one. I’ve just got it mocked up with the body and tires out at the moment, and when you get your eyes down to car level and see it as you would see the real car, it looks very good IMO. As I have to keep working on my BT18 it will be a bit longer before I test the fit and engineering of this kit.
I have been doing my homework though the last few nights by watching the coverage of the 1981 Indy 500 on YouTube. I’ve started to wonder what would have happened if Gordon Johncock’s Wildcat had not let him down in the last few laps and he would have finished second. Without him being involved in the blending debacle as Bobby and Mario were, would they have given him the win and not have been overturned?

This car will make a GREAT conversation piece! Was this car the true 1981 winner in your opinion? Comment below....
Michael is a huge Mario Andretti fan and I guarantee the bias-ness will show through!
