Re: The 'first' Indy car
Are they going to be sold on a first come first served basis or will you be taking pre-orders?

Kit goes on sale Friday December 18 - I have 20 for this first run, and they will be numbered 1-20, kit #1 is up for auction on eBay for anyone who wants the first ever 1/25 scale Wasp kit, and the first full kit produced by Indycals (but not the last!)

...(but not the last) got my attention. Would you care to elaborate? Is there an area of racing that you have in mind? I think I could sit all day and dream of projects to be kitted.

Michael will probably elaborate, but I would guess that this from his Indycals FAQ page would also apply to any kits he plans:Daryl_Huhtala wrote: ...(but not the last) got my attention.

Man that looks great. Will you be producing a brickyard display piece? Maybe 3d printed? Might be too big and costly though.
Wish it was in my price range. I just scored a 1/43 die cast of this car from Hobby Horse. Never heard of them before but it's a really cool piece.

Re: The 'first' Indy car
How about a 1985 March with a bunch of new decal options including Emerson Fittipaldi's Michigan 500 winner (his first Indycar win). This will be the same body that Bill Jorgensen used to produce (I originally did the master), but it will be a complete kit with 3d designed under tray, gearbox, and suspension.Daryl_Huhtala wrote:Excellent looking kit Michael.indycals wrote:I have a parts list posted:

My friends at American Racing Miniatures produce the brick base (but you need to paint it)Bigasshammm wrote:Man that looks great. Will you be producing a brickyard display piece? Maybe 3d printed? Might be too big and costly though.

Re: The 'first' Indy car - The Wasp - available for purchase
Considering I dropped nearly $500 getting masters for this one, and 3d printing 1/12 scale is 9x the price of 1/25, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon
