Hello,

next step will be the rear suspension. The kit includes some wrong parts
like the drive shafts and brake disks and the quality of the other parts is
not the best, so I must build some parts with brass rods.

Here is the next update, the rear uprights are from an old Tyrrell, into the upright is glued a brass tube
to fix the brake disk and the drive shaft.



A mounting for the brake caliper is also glued on the upright.

Not too fond of the engine detail (ha, ha) but this is looking good - and I don't even particularly like this car. Will be a nice addition to the 'museum'.

Hi all,

the BRM P153 is nearly finished, here some photos.













I know the BRM has still mistakes, but I can not make more with this CMM kit.
Thanks for the interest in this W.I.P.

Shaped up quite nicely.
