The 250 LM came out late 63 and the first iteration was very boxlike and as it developed it became more and more like the Fly model ,

Tony - you have a lot to answer for    

I had to go into the dungeon to get out my box labelled Airfix. Firstly the car I was referring to has long gone (same as my memory) and the one I have is merely a repainted 2nd release version.

       

But then - look what you made me do - I had to look at all the Airfix still to be done

   

Does anyone know where I can get Airfix Mini cooper tyres. I have scaley versions but they are too small and split. I have asked William at Scaleslotcar Tyres - he does not have but will try and source some to use as base for recasting urethanes. But that might not be too easy to find. Mine are like stones and simply disintegrate when trying to remove :). SO would be great to get a source for these
