This is awesome!! I’ve never built one of the kits from this manufacturer but it reminds me of a couple of the old garage cast Indycars I do have. Pretty rough stuff. I’d say it’s normal for the lower quality kits I have. But I have a few really nicely cast examples too. I think you pink looks close enough for Zink pink. On my 1/25 1956 Kurtis I just used straight Tamiya titanium gold and I think it looks about right from the real cars I’ve seen here in the museum. Beautiful work getting through this one. What a glorious collection of Indy cars you have too!! So glad that I was introduced to your channel.
It was nice to hear there was a story behind this indi car, and mentioning the drivers name, Pat Flaherty. The old model cars have this unique look. It's easy to be addicted to Musk Sticks, I used to eat them as a Youngster. Thanks Wixy 500 it was great viewing 👍
Great job with the build Wixy!!! Also wanted to inform you that Bburago released the F1 Vegas cars in 1/43 for Redbull and Ferrari in Europa. I ordered my already at CK Modelcars in Germany 🛞 Many greetings from EU
Thank you! And thanks for the heads-up on the new Bburagos. I'll be keeping a watch for them, but here in Australia it feels like we are typically a few months behind the rest of the world lol. Cheers.

Awesome work, looks like a challenging kit. Iconic car from the era. Thanks for sharing your hard work and tricks and tips you learned along the way.

Cool
Great build of a very poorly cast MA Model. Looks great!
Thanks!
Great build, it looks fantastic…..especially considering the poor quality of the kit. “Silk Purse from a Sow’s Ear”….as they say.

FYI what is a "Musk Stick"?
Musk Sticks are a sugar confection. Very unhealthy lol
Well I’ve seen some very BAD resin kits i my time but that kit is I must say is another level. But you did make an excellent job of it. Well done 👍
Thanks. It looks ok from a foot or two away lol. Cheers.
