That looks great Tony, I had to scratchbuild mine using the plans from Vintage Racing Replica News!! Tks for posting. Regards Dave B

Nice build Paul, looks really good. Dave B

Rob, I have an old very used knobbly Lister body that I haven't quite been brave enough to tackle yet, but who knows? Bill & Bernard, I will pull a .040" vacform and post a pic. A vacform would be harder to build than the resin you could pull off it. Dave B

Tks folks, appreciate the comments, it was a fun build. Dave B

These are a great kit, looks good Don Dave B

This is the end result. It is not specific for any particular race and is really only generic of the look of the Mk1 Scarab but it looks good in with my Merit and similar 50's sports cars. Wheels, tyres, seats and steering wheel are all resin cast and many thanks to my mate Phil for the decals. Painted in auto acrylic (blue and white) and clear coated. I did go to the trouble of adding the separate gear lever for reverse gear though!!! Tks for looking Dave B

I had always wanted a Scarab Mk1 but was never prepared to pay what was wanted on EBay for the Strombecker slot car body. Luckily a mate of mine had a 2 part fiberglass mould from the sixties he was prepared to lend me so I thought I would have a go at pulling a vacform over it and then slush moulding a resin body. It would also require making a windscreen so I cut one from MDF, coated it in permanent epoxy and then sanded away.

Nice build of a beautiful car William. Dave B

Great build Matt, LOVE the cutaway photo. Dave B

Magnificent build Bruce, a friend has one that he has offered me at the right price but I felt I could not do it justice. You certainly have☺ Regards Dave B

Like that Garry, thinking outside the box!! Dave B

Nice builds Doug, I assume they are Tamiya and not Heller? Regards Dave B

Great build Jason, love the 50's & 60's sports cars and you did that one justice Dave B
