AMT Newman Haas Lola T-8800

Bought a half dozen or so many years ago in different guises. These are sweet kits and I have used a few as a basis of my hot rods and race cars.  I wonder if Mario ever was that thin though ..... Still looking for the fuel inlet

Nice work.

These are cool kits and a lot can be done with them.  Your paint and decal work is real sharp and you did a nice job overall.  Mario and Michael are not that tall. 5'5" would be pushing it.  The driver figures were not the best feature of these kits.

Nice job on the model. These kits seem pretty simple by todays standards.

I bought them all way back when they first came out. Couple years ago I saw them at a swap meet for $5 and it killed me to not buy them but didn't make any sense for me since I already have or built them all.

Great looking Indy car.  Well done.

Great to see Indy cars on here.  Well done!

Wish someone would tool up a new one.

Nice job on this.  I thought AMT did a decent job on these, and I've got a few waiting to be built.  I only got some basic assembly done on the first one (March 88C Dominos car) because there didn't seem to be a lot of pics/info available about the engine etc.  

Curious if you had any similar issues.

Hi Monty

Yep it's the usual problem with any race car. Engine, suspension and body mods are carried out throughout the season so it's hard to nail down the particular engine setup used for a particular model. I got close but never managed a shot that matched the inlet setup or rear suspension

Very nice!
