Haha, loving the F4U.....I built a number of those kits unpainted. Decided they needed painting later on, but it was always a heck of a job to paint around the decals!!

This summer I have been working on dead projects. Now I found this one in a box and are determined to finish it.
Painted and parts are coming on it.

Very very cool, I’d hate to think how young I was when I built mine

I did look for that truck and a second P34 for a while but gave up on the plan.

I had hopes to have this one finish by the weekend. Maybe it is still possible.

Hi Björn,

that's a nice little car you are building there. Great work so far! :D

I had build that one too many years ago. If I remember correctly the kit only had Depailler decals, right?
If you prefer a Peterson version you might check out indycals.net. I think Michael offers the Tamiya and Fujimi decals also in 1/32. :wink:

You are right. Only Depailler decals in the kit. This body was only used at the third and fourth race and Indy's decals are for a very late car so they wouldn't work. But Depailler is OK if the decals still work. If not there are decals do be found at the slot car arena.

Bjorn,
Great build you are working on.
I have a build in progress and some decals for the number 3 car via
Pattos place.
I had to make a missing tyre on the front.
I also have two Surtees kits on one of them the decals are shot but all good,the Porsche 935 Martini is a great Matchbox kit!
Cheers
