Olsonite Eagle, MPC, 1/25

Hi

In memory of Dan Gurney I built his 1968 Olsonite Eagle, which he drove to 2nd place in the Indy 500.

It's an almost 50 years old kit, reissued by AMT some time ago. Part fitment is not that good, lots of flash, often something is askew, especially the front tires and I sanded the windscreen down to 2/3 of it's original height to make it fit.

But: It's a plastic kit of an 1960s open wheel car, and I'm happy about every single one of them. Painted with Zero Paints Eagle Blue and some Alclad colours. I used decals by Indycals because of the more opaque white. I replaced the intake trumpets with wire end sleeves, made better belts with Leukosilk and added 1-2 details at the rear.

Hope you like it.
