Afternoon Fellows, Been working last two weeks on 1/24 Mecom Hussein and Mecom Scarab. I just received an AMT 1/24 1963 Lotus 29 off eBay. Lost count of how many I've had of these but if I get a good price I like to strip the kit of suspension parts (namely rear axles) Hard to fit these in the rear engine race cars, too short on gearbox end, have to run a aluminum cross tube thru the transaxle to grip the stubs end of the axle.
The ONLY markings on the box Lotus 29 box are "Lotus Powered by Ford" THAT's IT! NO manufacturer name, scale, date, price, model number etc. It didn't have instructions and was partially assembled and cast in green plastic. I do know this is the AMT molds but green plastic is rare as they were mostly in white styrene. Appears to be a promo due to no retail info.
I don't need the box so if someone would like I will ship you the box which is in very good condition except for left corner tear and slight crush. Bottom of box has some water marks.
Thanx, John
