Here is a look at one I finished over the weekend.

It is modeled after the Eddie Kuzma Roadster driven in 1956 by Bob Sweikert which finished 6th that year. I cast one of my Curtis LEs and used decals from Patto's. One bad thing about a standard TJET Indy is due to its width you have to make the nose number larger than the sise numbers or it does not look right. To do this you have to buy two sets of decals. I got these from Patto's at 1/43 and 95% and 85% of 1/43rd. I use the 1/43rd number for the nose and sometimes the hood decals, the 95% for the rear end and the 85% for the contingincy and sometimes drver decals which I used on the external oil tank.

Patto makes a nice sheet that will do 14 cars

However to make them look right you will need one 1/43rd sheet and either a 1/32 sheet for the nose numbers.

Have a look...

I have a nice picture of this one in my refernce book. I have been thinking about how I cam make a TJET version. That nose will be tough to get it to look right.

I am reworking the Curtis LE nose to make it more rounded so I cam make some different Indy cars. I have a late Kurtis that has a nose similar to this one but it is open I will have to take another look at it.
