Just scored this double kit of the bay the other day. super nice kits with good detail. I still build 1/24 cars even though my track is down. These should make a couple great slot cars. I'll post some build pics soon.

I had ordered some indy car wheels from razor jon, looking for pg tires now. No luck! They should make some beautiful race cars.

I used some tires I got from Paul, they had a pie crust and you do have to stretch to get them on those Indy wheels but they work

These originally came from the old Merit kits.
I have chased a few of them because they are basically cool.
I have turned the Lago Talbot into a resin body kit of which I have only cast one...the screen post broke off as I was trimming the body out.
Shouldn't be an issue to rebuild a screen surround should it?
The shell cast nicely at 20.1 grams.
My next problem is to source a driver that is authentic....working on a couple of leads at the mo.

Thanks Bob
Those wheels and that driver should work well.
There is currently a gap for suitable wheels and drivers for these Merit based kits.
I have a driver option I am working on and some PP wheels in hand but for future builds?

I am in full swing of Razor season and its a good one lol
Come July orders tend to slow down I will try and build 10 sets of wheels, if you have a insert in mind I will need that dimension
