Kennyboy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) You are doing a great job on this, Ken. About 10+ years ago I searched and searched and found the "clear body" version from Protar. It cost stupid money for what the model turned out to be as the "clear" body was not very clear and had too many distortions. Kinda hard to fix that, so I sold it all. I'd still like to build two of the F40 race versions, and held onto a few of the Revell "slightly detailed" versions. Dunno if I'll ever get to them, but that engine is very nice. I used one of the V8's in my '37 Cord custom. Odd, but a good choice to hook up to the Cord's front wheel drive. Please keep giving us pics. I tried to post a pic, but nothing happens. You can click on the Fotki link below, my albums, my models built, page 8, #189 or 014.JPG. Thank you for the compliments Ken. You are a very talented model builder!! VERY original builds and so crisp and clean. I am currently working on the headers which are going to be solder into the collectors......the turbos are done and were scratchbuilt out of sprue and spare parts, the pressure and return lines will be braided stainless steel with Aeroquip fittings. The top 2 "things" in the picture below are what they gave for the exhaust headers in the kit! Edited January 19, 2014 by Kennyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 New pics of the forward progress on the driver's side turbo and header. Heatstaining was achieved with different colors of Sharpie over the lead solder. Took these with the Canon 30D ( I think I am starting to get the hang of it! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think he is talking about Best Balsa Kits. Great parts HIGH prices. But he has what others don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 try HLJ.com (Hobby Link Japan) they have it on their site but it's backordered. I have been wanting this set too. i was told by someone that ordered it and received it that if you place the order, they will eventually get it in a and ship it.

But he has what others don'tI found BBK's website but he has nothing for this kit. If he goes by the same name on Ebay I can't find him. To top it off I just found that I have missing parts from my kit which I was initially told was complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
