I don't think i will have time to do a new mold before 10 or 20 years! :D
3 fiberglass ones should arrive next week but i found another one that is unique i think... this model was made by Laro in late 90's, but 1/4 scale officialy disapeared and they focused on 1/5th scale... so it was never sold... but keeped somewhere in a workshop....the workshop has to be cleaned...so good day for me! :mrgreen:

FuNkY mOnK wrote:Nice body! are these fiberglass and lexan and will these fit the GT40 chassis?, also, do you know anyone who may have a twingo body?
the GT 40 is 640mm wheelbase, the fiberglass Mc Laren is longer 670mm, but shorter than the Jaguar...
wheelbase of the real is 2718 mm so 679mm at 1/4th scale
the lexan Mc Laren is a different model, with more simple shapes, its wheelbase is 640mm and is the same as bugatti eb110,venturi 600 lm,gillet vertigo, etc...
i plan to build a mould from it but not for tomorrow, i must work on 1/5 th scale first!
Lexan twingo and ABS twingo should be available at yankee-shop, just mail Bruno, he will answer quickly.
