Post by vectrex »

Hello again !

Some may remember i was able to aquire a NewOldStock New Era Dragster some years ago .... now its time again .... after about 8 months of talk and wait i was able to aquire a NewOldStock MF40 1:4 scale from the manufacturer ... which sometimes went falsely under the name DWA 2 or 3 or BLU2 or whatever ;) however this is almost complete car missing some minor parts that i have to manufacture it comes standard with 2 manual front brakes and will take a zenoah or mathe engine .... body will be a RACO IMSA GTP body which i also was able to get .... more pictures to come ....

it will take me busy atleast for some months
