Sorry, no idea! I did not see any photo etch details on 1/43rd slotcars by now ...

maybe you could DIY? I see kits available from Micro Mark.

I have seen that same kit from Micro, but I don't know of anyone who has used it before, so I am hesitant. I would love to DIY, and have the availability.

there is a guy on youtube that gives a pretty good presentation on the mm kit. over the years i have followed this development on the rr forums. it seems that there are a lot of photo kits that aren't being used. you might be able to pick up one on ebay. either way trans if there is anyone that can do this it is you. i personally think you should just stick with resin inserts. rip one off a jouef car and adjust the size.

There are a few Kit builders on the Facebook & Slotforum sites Graham Poulan and a couple others I can't remember their names right now, but one of them could probably point you in the right direction!

MicroMark sell DIY kits.

Graham has had problems with photo etch supply. Anything from ridiculously long lead times, to using the wrong thickness of material, to doubling the price betweenn accepting the job and delivering it.

Thanks all
I have decided to go with the MM kit and ordered it. I have also found a decent casting for a resin version as well. I just think the etched wires look better.
