bbowser Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 AMT-Ertl kit I enjoyed this build. Not a curbside but not too many fussy parts. I did glue the front body parts together to remove the seam which made some things a little more difficult but all in all I think it looks good on the shelf. For the back story: Danny Ongais crashed a Penske PC-16 during practice putting them both out of commission for the race. This '86 March was on display in a shopping mall in Pennsylvania without an engine. Penske fitted a Cosworth engine and turned to Al Unser Sr to drive, he qualified 20th. After dominating practice, qualifying, and most of the race, leader Mario Andretti slowed with mechanical problems with 23 laps to go. Al took the lead 5 laps later and won his record-tying 4th Indy 500. Comments welcome, thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1971 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Strange story, and a nice build. Did you paint the body ? If so, nice paint job ; if not, the bare plastic looks marvellous ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
