Fiat Abarth 750 Record Monza: overview

Looking for a quick build while waiting for the mail on some other builds, I dug the simplest MFH kit ever offered out of my stash: the Fiat Abarth 750 Record Monza. Kit LK001 has decals for cars finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd (28th through 30th overall) in the GT 750 class at Sebring 12 hours in 1959, and has grand total of 61 pieces, including the decal sheet (63 if you include the instruction sheet and the box).


One thing is for sure: venturing out on a race track for 12 hours in a 750 cc Fiat Abarth, when the leaders are all hammering along in Testa Rossas, takes a serious amount of cojones, even if it has a slippery Zagato body. 

This will get built up as car #64, painted white, which finished first in class, 28th overall. Stay tuned!

For the record: 
Resin pieces: 8
PE pieces: 9 (one sheet)
Axles: 2
Screws: 3
Metal pieces: 21 (4 sprues)
White metal pieces: 4 wheels, one handbrake lever
Rubber pieces: 4 tires
Decal sheets: 1
Vacuum formed pieces: 8 (one sheet)
Headlights: 2 pieces

CORRECTION: 63 pieces plus instructions and box as I had missed the two headlight lenses.
