Thank you very much guys. With this post I've caught up to where the build is presently. Radiator shroud and center console were added to the chassis. Other than the seats and belts and some small details, the chassis is done. Now updates will slow down as I start doing bodywork. 280

WOW! My guess was not even that close... I assumed $300 or so. Now I understand better why the kit is far superior than any that I have seen so far.

This is a 1/20 BRM P83 Jackie Stewart 1967 that I built. Man Paul...THAT dash LOOKS fREEK'IN AWESOME! The whole chassis is off the hook. Thanks Gary.

That 1/20 P83 looks GREAT, Paul. I have the same kit waiting for me to get to it. Seeing yours makes me want to jump on that build right now. MFH kits are really detailed. I have a few 1/43 kits that I also have waiting for me...they as detailed as the 24th and 20th kits.

I have a few 1/43 kits that I also have waiting for me...they as detailed as the 24th and 20th kits. Gary, the BRM is the first MFH that I built. I got it to get my feet wet in these kits because I had purchased a 73 Tyrrell 006 which I saw live at the Nurburgring. I wanted something to practice on before tackling that kit. Since then it has snow-balled into too many 1/12th kits.

Looks absolutely real! Mr Shelby worked with Ford to wind tunnel test the body (probably one of the first aero tested) and found the flush glass added a few mph and directed the air to the spoiler smoother and more uniformly. The buggy springs eliminated the need for sway bars and could have wedges put into the center pring mount to pre load the spring for different tracks. The ran a large set of wedges front and rear a Bridge Hampton in the 60's. It was legal cheating with the buggy spring wedges
