Placing the moulds very roughly, it looks as if the shell will fit a Spitfire/Herald chassis and/or tub quite nicely, plus options of longer wheelbases.

Maybe you will need a bigger van when you collect your kits!!:lol:

Hi Chris, Thanks again for the loan of the moulds. I notice this image has "Drag racer" in the file name, do you have any info on it?

Hi Rocker

The car in the photo



is the same shell that we have the moulds for but it has the twin side vents, headlight openings and cockpit opening enlarged, all of which we can do. The first body out of the mould will be offered up to a Herald chassis and we will report back to you about fit.

Thanks for the link Pops. I like the "distressed" race car look :biggrin1:
