Though the kit is moulded in black plastic it still requires painting to get a nice finish. The decals were a nightmare to apply, but with a little bit of luck I managed to get them to go more or less where I wanted them.

The kit is fitted to a PCS32 chassis with plenty of lead weight. The Batmobile is very quick on my track, but I now realise the motor I used from my spares box is actually a Scalextric 30K sport motor.

I used Penelope Pitlane alloys and the inserts supplied with the kit.

A very nice kit and always good to have something a little different.

But having seen the prices of the recent Ninco E-Types, I decided to have another attempt at converting one of these into a slot car using a kit I got a couple of years ago.

I'm pleased with the way it's turned out and this means that I won't have to attempt to do 4th one.

I've used a PCS32 chassis which does fit nicely, it's certainly low and the Revell E-Type I have towers over it.

With lots of chrome foil, sporty rims and a low ride helps to give it a custom look.

I've used the chassis (extended by an inch or so) and running gear from an HPI Nissan Skyline R32 which I picked up from TK Maxx last year for £5. I've heard mixed reviews about the performance of these HPI cars, but I'm rather surprised how well this big car goes and the amount of grip the tyres have on my wood track. It certainly gives the Batmobile a run for its money.

Fantastic quality kit and one of my favourite cars, great fun on the track as well.

The wheelbase and body mounts fit the GOM chassis so it makes for a trouble free build and pretty good value.

The gold hubs will be changed for a set of wire rims when they arrive.

The GTO LM is certainly a stunning looking car.

The shell is fitted to a PCS32 chassis with additional lead ballast and I've then added a simple Carrera Panamericana style livery.
