I've been able to see the Cart series over here on Eurosport and have long since wanted to model something on that line, but have come up blank on specific models.

Whats available???

Hey Brian, Revell put out two 1/25 CART cars in 99. The first two kit released where Chip Ganassi's Target Reynard driven by Jimmy Vasser and Dan Gurney Castrol Reynard driven by Alex Barron. The kits were released with out engines. Kit was a breeze to build with no problems. Oh it came with a driver also. I have'nt seen anything lately.

The Revell cart series cars are still around. Ebay would be a good place to start looking. If, you are looking for Indy cars, then you will have to go with resin. No one makes Indy cars in plastic.

Thanks for the tip Kitman!

E-bay and sweden really don't go together. I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place, there are a lot of things I could think of making, but postage usually puts a damper on the desire...

Do you have any suggestions on resin kits??

Brian,

Go to: http://www.indycals.com/

Click on Modelers Resources on the left menu bar.

I have 1 of the Lance Sellers kits and one of Bill's kits. Both of the above gentlemen, have always done alot of mail order business. If you don't want to go the ebay route, just send them an email. I'm sure they would be happy to help out.
Try a search on google for resin indy cars. I can't recall at this time but someone was doing modern Indy cars in resin.
** Just found this company, Etzel Speed Classics, P.O. Box 5195, Lafayette, IN, 47903-5195. Mail order only.
