I have a twin engine olds in my "to do pile". I am working on a V12 rear engine Celica at the moment but just wanted to take a day off from it so thats one of the reasons I did this one.

99 pence = $1.65
Cheers from the comments

Looks great, I built that kit years ago but you made a much better job of it than me, and for that price too!

Re: Mclaren classic F1 1:43

Not bad at all for such a cheap kit Nice idea to take a day of from your project. Makes you clear up your mind and don't think about all the problems and stuff you still got to do on it
