                        BUILD IT!

                        The John Player Specials were to racing and Lotus back then as Marlboro was to McLaren for so long in the 70's and 80's. The 1/8th Kit is awesome, even if it is for Emerson. . .Whistling [:-^]

                        I built this kit when I was a kid. Then it was issued by Entex. Revell later reissued it. Its a great kit with lots of superdetailing possibilities. It also looks great out of the box. I think I still have a few parts of it laying around. I used to be in the Emerson Fittipaldi fan club and even had him autograph my Tamiya build.(1/12). This is by far one of the most beautiful looking race vehicles of all time!!

                        Don't know much about this one John (the 1/12 Tamiya version is more common) - this must be an increasingly rare kit.  This trader is asking over $650 for one!!!!

                        Now you only have to decide whether to build her or keep as an investment!!  I wish I had the same choice.
