Two things........ *PIC*

In Response To: Salvinos some how is making it work. Larson's Indy car is scheduled for release soon. *NM* ()

Hard to work with....not impossible. Bring big buckets of cash.
The Larson car is a Dallara chassis and is a team started by Schmidt and is a McLaren in name only and officially is Arrows McLaren. The IP for a Dallara is not owned by McLaren.

When I see a 70's era McLaren produced by any plastic manufacture I will be impressed. Thanks

Question: I got this body with a bunch of stuff and am wondering if it is a real car or just a made up thing. PIC
- Probably an old '60s=vintage slot car body. Have a few myself (mostly Ford GTs...). *NM*
  - Well, it might have started out as a slot car but this has a plastic chassis so it was a kit. *NM*
- if it's 1/25, it lloks like the old AMT McLaren M1 -Elva race car. *NM*
  - Yes, it is very close to a McLaren Elva. Not exact but at least that gives me a direction is what to do with it. Thanks *NM*
    - Tony's correct. It definitely is a McLaren Elva. *NM* *PIC*
      - Yep, sure is. Rumors suggest maybe these tools are in the crib someplace...
      - McLaren is VERY difficult to work with on licensing........

        Re: Two things........ Well, I'd be all in on a "Correct" McLaren Indy car. AMT tried, but it's pretty wonky at best.
        
        I am passing on the Dallara kit.....but some 70's McLarean, Eagle or Foyt Coyote and I'll spend the $80! *NM*

        There are videos of the Lotus in a Youtube vid......
        CD...I dunno if this helps but the MPC STP 67 Turbine car was also issued by Toltoys New Zealand, I got a copy 20 yrs ago & built it, exact same kit as the MPC but molded in white...check your emails for some pics. *NM*
        
        I got those pix! Stunning Build! *NM*
