It is not too hard to find ways to kill time now that I am constrained at home.(but it is worth it:we have, so far,only 9 losses /million)
This one was lying in a drawer for quite a few years waiting for a suitable chassis,now its almost ready missing proper rear rims and light lenses,the latter were included in the kit but cannot locate them:
lightweight,World Classics body

Darn - I know I have said it before - but I love how you have grasped new technology, and run with it - for both vintage and modern work!!!

yes I am jealous.

Alexis,
I did the same thing with this one.

Despite still being narrow. it drives very well.

Nice one Alexis Wavegreen

My own Jaguar E type build below.
The Lindner/Nocker lightweight streamline
Body from Revell
Chassis from shapeways.
Slot.IT transmission.
FlatSix RS motor
NSR rear wheels with inserts fabricated from the kit revell wheels.

Goes well but will need more punch to have a stab at embarrassing any of the thunder slot Lola's down at London Wood Green.
