Here are a couple of shots of my latest 4 wheel (miss) adventure in "Go Fast" land.
It's from Heller, 1/72 scale. Bad fit, bad flash, soft detail, but hey for $5 it gave me something to do in the morning over coffee while I was at the beach in June.

Scott with all that you should made it look great, especially over coffee!...now it look like a $20 dollar kit. Was there any painting involved.

Thanks guys

Joe - the paint is all my fault. It comes in a white plastic. The decals were a bear Old brittle and SMALL!

That looks pretty good Scott. 1/72 scale, that is a very small F1. And I thought my 1/43 F1's were small.
