Sorry, if you knew what I paid, you might choke on the saliva...... :lol:
I have watched another here work magic w/a Trans-kit that I believe to be the same as this one, and I just had to have...........no, whatever wifey ask's about the cost..........play dumb :mrgreen:
I also will be adding a few items from Mac as well, and I am sure Indy Cal's will be providing some decals for ths project.
And lets not forget Scale Hardware and RB Motion.
This will be a very involved project.........in for a penny, in for a pound.
Cheers

As I was born in 1975, I didn't get into F1 in the UK until I was older and into the 90's, but after seeing Rush, regardless of the authenticity of things, I must build this car in 1/12, the seen in the rain at the end, with the rain tires on and the bright paint coming at you with the tires spinning was a stunning piece of filmography

Well there you go Alex, get that puppy started and posted, more the merry'er..........never too many M23's going @ same time. Liked the Movie, glad you were not hung up on authenticity, seeing how they come out with F1 Movies all the time.............. :roll:
Looking forward to your WIP.
