This is a simple build, given the total lack of chassis or engine detail. Decals were very nice and went on very well.
Getting the number to lie down over the rear deck took some doing; minor cracking was fixed with a very fine brush and some black paint.
The interior is basic but includes door handles and pulls as well as window winders.
As always, my least favourite part of these builds is the vacuum formed glass.
The body has a dimple in the door for a mirror, but there was no mirror in the kit. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a suitable bullet-style mirror.
Presumably this is the view Dan Gurney and Phil Hill would have had from their Ferrari 250 TR as they overtook the little Fiat Abarths. Three were entered by Team Roosevelt for the 1959 Sebring 12 hours, finishing 28th, 29th and 30th and thus taking the first three places in the GT 750 class. This one models the first of the three to finish.
The Abarth fleet at rest, both Lightweight kits from MFH. The OT 1300 kit did have a motor, however.
So what's next? Not sure but I am getting used to the new Blogger interface and not liking it much so far.
