Pull the trigger on it. If so I'll be in with this one:

Awesome choice, Joe!

2005... it was the only kit in the PX on our base in Bosnia...

Well, now it’s a good time to shake off some car kit building... I am curious to know what car kit it was in the PX.

It was this Formula1 car....





Handbrushed with those white handle Testor brushes and polished the paints... Testors Aluminum And Gun Metal. Built straight out of box...

Now that looks sharp!! Having never done a Indy car kit before but would love to try my hand on one. I know Tamiya has quite a collection of Formula 1 kits out there as well as rally types.
