Chaparral 2A

Chaparral 2 built and modified by myself from a M.A. Scale kit Ref.: 143; The kit was intended to represent the 1965 Sebring car (#3 or #4) but as already have one made by Proline, I decided to modify it to represent one of the early Chaparral 2A's that had the top exhausts routed to the back of the car. As a result the whole rear end of the car was modified, now being vertical flat with a rectangular cooling hole, a air deflector on top and new exhausts made from copper wire and aluminium pipe.
