This is the third and final installment of the Hall of Fame Indy Combo kit boxed by MPC (AMT kits)

I used the kit decals which were old and brittle, parts box tires and added some PE seatbelt buckles and Dezus fasteners.
The kit tires were two piece hard plastic and looked like something from a toddlers toy car.

I started this about 4 or 5 years ago and just finished it up in time for the Indy 500.

They aren't too bad. They don't just "go together" out of box but there is good detail in all three. The tires for the Clark and Jones cars are terrible. If you want to be extra accurate you can get aftermarket parts for them from Indycals.

This has always been one of my favourite builds from you Mitch. Nice job.

I have the triple kit, which I must build someday.!!

All three are beautiful builds ............ but the Lotus driven by Jimmy Clark is special ............ the quiet Scot was my favorite, and it was a tragedy to lose him so early ............ great work sir 1963 Ford Lotus 29 Indy Car  1705482731
