I hope you're watching the Le Mans Legends race now. This is one gorgeous car

The Aston is out (again - just like two years ago if I remember correctly). Tough luck.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes I'll use the kit wheel Mikman, although I'll proabably modify it, ie thin it down a bit etc.

Cheers,
Lee.

Hi Lee,
this is shaping up to be a very nice build! I've just made a start on my kitand will be modifiying mine to represent the car which Moss/Brabham partnered in 1958 Nurburgring. I"m a huge Brabham fan so it's only logical for me to do so.
How is progress to date? I'll be watching this one closely !

Hi Sean/Guys, Slow progress! I’m trying to sort out the basics before I move on.

Profil24 have produced a nice model but the engineering is poor. I’ve removed the dodgy chassis mounts from the body, rebated the inside of the body and glued in some scratched brass mounts.

The chassis rails have been partially fitted and now it fits nicely inside the body. Next I’ll sort out the back end of the chassis.
Cheers,
Lee.

Hi Lee what is the brand name of the putty/filler your using Please?

Sean

LeeABC · 06-22-2011, 07:47 AM

Hi Sean,
It's Milliput superfine, takes an age to cure but it's tough & good to work with.

Kevin is one of my main places where I order kits. He has always come through for me so no worries. Sometimes he buys in bulk so you may have to wait a couple of weeks. That's where I got my DBR1. I had to wait a few weeks until he got enough to order, but as always, it arrived at my door with no problems.

@LeeABC: Excellent progress so far. Great idea on mounting the body on chassis.

@mikman24: I also got mine from Kevin at Stradasports. I preordered the kit and waited a few weeks. He always packs nicely and ships fast. I never had a unpleasant surprise when ordering from Stradasports.

Sorry Lee for butting in on your W.I.P. but I wanted to make sure i had a proper dealer able to get me this kit.Cheers Mick
