m3fan Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I acquired this little kit from a fellow modellers collection. It was very successful car for Colin Chapman as it won its class 501-750cc and its chief mechanic was no other than Graham Hill. It is a very straight forward curb side kit from Profil24. Everything goes together well for a multimedia kit. paint is tamiya racing green and the bare metal is some self adhesive foil from mfh. comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Very nice! I've always liked the XI. I wasn't aware that Profil24 did a kit - I've only seen the Merit kit, which is hard to find for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Nice build Russell, looks real good. Dave B PS I believe Graham Hill was initially employed by Chapman as a gearbox mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
