      Bearclaw, I think you will need to decide on a year to model. Strega has had several distinctly different configurations over the years, two very different basic paint schemes, and an eternally shifting set of crew, engine builder, and sponsor names all over the airplane. She's been racing for over 30 years, with at least 5 pilots. Lots of history means a lot of choices for you to make.

          Are you talking about the Airfix Kit? That's the only one I know of in 1/24 scale...that's a good one to modify into a racer because it needs so much work to make parts fit, and things to look right anyway... a little more work won't matter much...

            Too bad they don't make it in a 1/32 scale...1/48 is just too darn small!
