Wonder if the ones from the Traxxis villain would fit they had similar sized one for the outdrive also might want to check ones for scale crawling trucks for size might find something close

MISS ENFIELD

After I had already found the Martini, it was now time for the Miss Enfield. Well yes I have found one but look for yourself.
I am already started cleaning the hull
Is still a bit to do but it is doable

Really enjoying the pictures of the old AMPS
Nice to see there are still a few survivors out there.

No,
just KOOL, and Benson & Hedges.
Marlboro was most likely this dudes favorite flavor.

The cowl is a DPI

This thread needs a boost of pics. Been way to long! Here is my current collection.Just picked up a new SR1 Formula 402 and outdrive last week. I have been doing some restorations recently too. The Nordica, Kool, and International Hobbies tunnels are all some I just painted, and drew up and cut out the graphics for. I have about 5 hulls still to do restorations on soon. Enjoy, Mike
