Ken H - mentioned the " Old Irish Racing " site - and a collection of Austin Healey models Diecasts and Resin - the Owner of the site Jerry Liudahl - whom I met, as mentioned in the USA in 1982 - is also into Kitsets and even has a few tinplates.
Here is Jerry's making of the Revell Kit around 50 years ago ..
** Jerry based the colour scheme and details on a car he knew of at the time.
I thought it looked a bit like Richard " Dick on Wheels " Mayor from Portland Oregon -met him in 1982 in Oregon and saw him Race at Portland International Raceway - PIR - in August 1988.
- Raced by - quote from Jerry -" Way before Dick Mayor Its Monte Shelton's car. "
Dick Mayors car at Portland - [ posted before ].
The Green BJ8 following is also a well known Pacific North West Car
Meanwhile in 2020 in Auckland another modeler has got this far with his recent purchase of the 50 year old kitset by Revell.
Thanks to Jerry and Nic Butterworth for the images .. Chaindrive knows who Nic is ..
