Monogram Indy car

[BIGTRUCK]

Another kit from yester-year is this Indy car by Monogram with steerable wheels,driver and mechanic with tool box. Decals are from Indycals to make this the 1956 Filter Queen car with Roger Ward as driver. They were out of stock on the tire set so I just went with what I had. Making and getting the glass to fit is an issue as well as getting the driver and steering wheel to fit in together. Its not an exact replica but Im having fun building these older kits.

Nice old roadster. These old kits can be a lot of fun. I had no idea this kit had posable steering, which seems like significant feature from a Monogram kit of this era (or any era). The Indycal decals look to be quite well done, and really bring this old racer to life. Good work all around.

Great looking Indycar.  Well done.

Very nice job on an old simple kit. Your attention to detail made this better than I usually see.

The steering wheel was actually made to turn the front tires but there is way too much play in the design. Posing at the tires works great.
