Neat build!. i have that one in my stash along with the Lotus 33 and Ferrari 156. What paint did you use?

I have both of those kits, started, as well as the Lotus 38 and the BRM P57, so I'll be following this closely.

MRRN, whether the original hard copies, which I have, or the CD, is an incredible resource.

Ward's car had the skinny 16 inch diameter front and 18 inch diameter rear wheels and tires. The AMT kit has the wider 15 inch wheels popularized in 1963 by Lotus. The Jones AMT car has a large air scoop on top of the nose that must be filled in for the Ward car. The Ward car has the smaller "ham" oil tank while the AMT kit has a much longer oil tank peculiar to the Jones car. The Ward car has a flat hood while the AMT Jones car has a bulged hood. There probably are also a number of small differences with air scoops and vents, etc. Not to worry, the aftermarket has all of this covered.

Graham Hill is the driver in the picture. I do not understand your confusion over what race; it is Nurburgring 1964.

I am currently building a pair of 158s. With great reluctance, knowing that if I screwed it up, I would ruin an irreplaceable nose cone, I finally ordered the Indycals grille: https://www.indycals.net/parts/f1parts/50alfa158.html. Once the grilles came, it took awhile to talk myself into cutting into the plastic, but once I did, I was totally pleased with how easy it was to fit the grille and how great it looks once in place.

Good to have another Badger on the Board!

You have two alternatives, I have some of both and you cannot go wrong either way: https://www.shapeways.com/product/CFBNYLH2M/chaparral-tires?optionId=112083132&li=marketplace https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/wheels-tires/products/wheel-and-tire-set-1-24th-scale-1 Both are going to look slightly underscale as I think Strombecker might have over-done the wheel wells.

Nice work. Cady decals?

Neat project. Go here for some really good photos of the frame and a fascinating story: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/historic-racing/birth-alfetta-alfa-romeo-158-made-spare-parts

Motor Sport did a story once, I forget if it was about Follmer or this Shadow, but it had full page photo of Follmer sitting in it, with the front body off. The front intake trumpets were right behind his helmet, the steering wheel over his knees and his feet scrunched up between the dashboard and the front suspension. The caption read: "George Follmer was a very brave driver."

My brother had one and said it was the first self rust-proofing car made, at for the back one-third.

Where's the picture with Brock? ?

How about a Devin SS?
