Well, I got out of order yesterday. I had ordered an Alpha Romeo lemans kit, but it came in with the right instructions, but in the wrong bag! It is an old Pyro bag kit, so the seller is fixing that problem. So, instead, I moved on to the special I was planning on building. This one is as scratchbuilt/ kitbashed as you can get!
I started with a chopped down frame and cowl from a Mercedes SSK, then added a modified tail section from a Strombecker Maserati 250. Hood is from an old pyro Packard kit. the tonneau cover is hand bent styrene, and all this is going on a brass frame with an 18k motor. again 1/8" axles and Strombecker wire wheels. these are the pre 1963 wheels with double flanges. I have a ton of old wheels from Eldon and Strombecker cars that are in great shape, some are new old stock, so I use them whenever I can.
I call this car an Anderson special in Honor of my Great Grandfather. He was a Fighter pilot in the RAF during world war 1, and flew a Sopwith Camel. He was also a big racing fan, especially anything English!
So anyway, enough of my dribble. Here is what I have so far.
