As I posted in the 1:1 cars/Your Golden Epoch section recently, I just had to add this to my Can-Am collection. A slot.it 8E white kit arrived and the conversion back to the 8B/C has begun.

Decals are on the way from Pattos and the paint arrived today.

A great car, fab livery.

Do you have the decals for that?

On the way from Pattos, he said 🙂

PSLOT, you are a true modeler; I am not. I get bored with filling, sanding, priming, sanding and…more filling, priming,…… So this will do for me. Besides, all my cars are fair game for racing when the granddaughters visit. I’m still picking up bits and pieces from this past weekend’s free-for-all.😄

thanks for that.
I never did put that car on the track.
Its still on the shelf.
the rear and the lower sides were pretty simple.
Just a bit of plasticard and a very sharp knife.
Most tedious part was getting the front section right.
like you say cutting filling and sanding
cheers

I wouldn’t even think about tackling the nose! LOL. Talk about a tedious challenge.😱

for the rest of us, Vanquish did this car a number of years ago. So, if you're search skills are better than your modelling skills. . .

Well, my modeling skills are nowhere near pslot’s, but mine is a good conversation starter for talk about Oscar, Auto World, Can-Am privateers campaigning last year’s hot cars, etc.

Next to the RTR 8D.

Pretty quick with only a wood track guide, front axle height adjustment, silicone tires and a little lead. Track record is 3.896 by a slot.it Porsche 917 with SW ball bearing pod and 25K NSR Shark.
