Re: Maybe I can finish this to
Ah amazing! Love the look of this kit, and in a fun unusual scale as well! There's one on eBay at the moment that I'm about to buy, so I'll be watching this with a lot of interest!

Re: Maybe I can finish this to
I also have this kit in WIP over 10yrs. I bought the kit at about 3~4 Cdn some years ago at a hobby show.
The engine is pretty detailed though even at 1/32 scale. At one point I was thinking about copying the engine and put it inside the 1/32 Airfix P68. Unfortunately the decal is very yellowed.
I'm really interested to see yours completed.

Re: Maybe I can finish this to
My decals seem to have aged nicely. Not to yellow with a coat of decal film I hope the will be usable.
I like this car and I think that the shape would be very easy to do in 1/20 scale. I wonder if there is any car in the Tamiya range that has similar wheel uprights that could be used

Re: Maybe I can finish this to. A Surtees TS16
I did finish it: http://www.f1m.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=22940
but I was wrong. The white parts of the decal had yellowed. I became evident when mounted on the white painted parts.
Not the easiest kit to build as the fitting of the parts was somewhat fuzzy.
This will be my last kit for the 70s Group Build but I will continue building these cars.
