Hello guys, Time to start a project. About a year ago I decided I enjoyed building F1 cars as they typically show a lot of suspension, and in some cases, plenty of engine too. I went about finding F1 kits that were on sale and buying those that seemed interesting. There are many upsides to this approach including that I built a nice little stash and as I'm not really an F1 fan, don't have any favorite car/team, the kits were generally not too expensive, and the opportunities were relatively abundant. Most of the kits I found (I purchased six kits) were Tamiya and Fujimi, and when available detail kits too. These were the kits you see on web stores that shout out: "Marked Down!!", "only 1 left", "34% off!" etc. This kit was no exception. My sense is that an on-line hobby store was either reducing inventory or ending their sales of auto related kits. The site boldly noted "60% off!!" for a Studio27 PC4....so, it almost didn't matter what it was, it was worth looking at, and finally buying. I assumed this was a good idea because I've used Studio27 detail kits and like them. And, now I'm going to build it. So far, no progress. Only really looked at the parts today and they are pretty nice. Please take a look: Appearances suggest not bad at all for "60% off". The only weird part I've spotted so far is the distributor cap, which is rubber. I've built up some of these Ford heads before, using similar aftermarket rubber ignition wire boots/plugs and remember they were a headache to get the wires through, so I assume the same will be the case with the distributor. I'll worry about that later, and might even just scratch the cap. In the meantime, will get going on cleaning up the engine parts. So, off we go - Stay well, Cheers, Nick
