Ouch! going to need a bit of work - the moulds are almost as old as the full size thing! I did have a go at this, many years ago ( Smer boxing ) - the 'wire wheels' really need replacing, as the way they are made isn't convincing - at least in my hands! A good driver figure would be good as well!
Will watch with interest!

Yes it is a little sparse isn't it Dave. I'm going to try and beef up the engine a little, and I'll take a look at the wheel spokes too.

Hi Ian
Looks a lot of work. I don't recall ever seeing a kit made of such blue plastic :rolling:
