Simply stunning. Are they 1/24? Wish we were allowed to run them in our classic LeMans class. Rules allow any car that ran at LeMans up to and including 68.

They are 1/24th fujimi 512S Short tail. These still can be purchased. Ron did a much better job with the tabs and spoiler. I made my own rear spoiler out of styrene and cut a slot in the body for it to slip into

Ron's car has a Scholer chassis underneath. Mine is a custom brass and wire job.
