Lancia D20 C Le Mans 1953

Hello All,

Again a new slot car model for my collection of historic Le Mans racing cars.
In 1953 the -Scuderia Lancia- entered race with 4 identic built up racing sports cars.
However no one of them could finish the race.

The french manufacturer -BSR- developed this kit some times ago.
My slot car runs on a selfmade chassis for front motor position and rear wheel drive.
Motor amount is taken from an old -Fly- base. This part is built in between two longitudinal chassis frames
which are connected by a floor plate. ( polystyrol sheets, thickness 0,5mm and 1mm )



Therefore you can do a tri-dimensional cockpit insert instead of a horizontal motor covering plate.



Front and rear main window glazing is taken from the kit (cut off from vac-form part)
The side windows (slide function at the original) are composed by two single glazing sheets ( thickness 0,25mm)
and a metal (fotoetched) window frame part taken from the kit. Both put together and built in the body aperture.



...and here is the result:........














I hope you like it......
