Allan, That looks like a Mac Pinches 1934 Mercedes W25, since Mac Retired from Slot Racing (but I think he's running Earlybirds this year) his Pre-Add bodies have become quite desirable. Cool car Chris The National Rail Racing Association site is still up, and it has all of Mac's series 1 cars, including the W24, visit it here: preadd-bodies.tripod.com/NOTE NONE OF THESE CAR ARE AVAILABLE ANY LONGER, UNLESS YOU FIND THEM ON EBAY

I've just been comparing Allan's pictures with some originals and like Chris's Maserati 8CTF, Mac has captured the shape very well indeed.
The detailing is great, especially the driver. I've been trying out Taffy's idea of filling goggles with cyano glue after painting the eye detail I'm getting there, several thin layers are in order.
Any projects on the go Allan?
Peter.

Peter, you may also want to try 2 part 5 min. epoxy for the goggle lens........it dries clear and smooth, has a semi to gloss finish, and if you support the helmet/goggles so that they face the ceiling while applying the epoxy, the epoxy will level itself within the goggle frames....a small drop or two will do, and in 5 mins. you will have a finished lens, that needs no further finish work. I have used this method on several drivers, and have been delighted with the results. Cheers Chris Walker

Yes Peter, a couple. Will find some pictures. I have a few pre war cars such as the K3, SSK etc too.Most not built by me but interesting I think, all the same. For goggles I use the same idea as the cyano and 2 part epoxy but use a proprietry canopy glue from the R/C world. Probably just PVA but also sets hard, smooth and clear PLUS it has the advantage of coming away easily should it not look right.
