Tameo kit. Hans Stuck's 1976 German GP entry. Stuck had a one race sponsorship deal with Jagermeister. This is probably as close to a nostalgia build as I'm likely to get. I was a GI stationed in Germany in 1976. Many of my fellow GIs regarded Jagermeister as some kind of magic elixir. I regarded it as the most disgusting liquor that I have ever tasted. Someone gave me a bottle of it about 25 years ago and it still sits in my cabinet unopened. I guess the model is my tribute to my Army days. Note: the yellow bands are intended to replicate unevenly applied strips of tape on the real car.

I love 1/43 kits, but wiring and plumbing them is byond my eyesite. Great work!

The engine and suspension certainly have the finesse look to them of a larger scale. Joel

I am liking this build very much.. Chris

Rob,
I only have one word to describe your finished March: Outstanding !! Just a truly impressive build.

Nice to see that Ernest T. Bass is also an active member here. I would have thought he'd be more of a Nascar kind of guy.

I've been online for almost as long as there has been a online, and this is the 1st time I've ever heard that. I should download, print it out, and frame it.
