VW Karmann John Player Special

[_TRF_]

This is my 1/24 RC-car version of a VW Karmann Ghia built as racing version 'John Player Special'.

It's a Tamiya kit combined with a modified Kyosho MiniZ MR015 chassis.

For better look and better fit on the chassis, i widened the fenders with putty. The car is in use

and will be raced on my Kyosho hometrack system against it's contrahents like Alfa Romeo's,

Ford Escorts and BMW2002.

widened fenders

Hope you like it

The BMW is from my Resine mould. Yes it's 1/24 and will be raced, too.

Not to sure exactly when but it was around the mid 1990's I saw a ghia racing around brainerd international raceway in MN. It was a vintage road race so yes the car was raced all be it privately. Sadly I don't have any pix I do remember it was a redish orange with black numbering
