Building a slot car

Greetings everyone,
 A couple of models I ordered came in from Japan...( I can buy these cheaper , including shipping in Japan than my local hobby store). These are the first two I'll be building. The one in the pics has a driver and co-driver. The model isnt finished yet and I'll post it again when its done.

  1. Nice work, Richard. I had a bunch of Tamiya 1:24th Porsche race cars NIB from a relative's estate. I kept some of them, but not sure if I'll ever get around to build them up. I had built a Porsche 956 (Rothmans) a long time ago; which I still have - missing small stuff like mirrors. Best, Dean
