1/12th Yardley M23

Post by daves »

Finished the David Hobbs Yardley M23. Inspired by reading his autobiography which is very entertaining BTW. There were a few changes needed to make it Hobbs car. The mirrors are painted black and the engine cover is the earlier version from the Texaco car. Fortunately I had one left over from the James Hunt build.
