Not new really, however, some much needed improvements to this Mclaren M8B.

The width at the front wheelwells is now wider at 3.125
A special feature has been added to the front of the body to provide strenght of the nose on this body.
It is now .375 longer than the original

The biggest improvement is the strenght of the front. I’m very pleased with it.

The McKee body is one of the most asked for. It was simply not wide enough for the modern Retro chassis.

This body is now 3.125 wide at both the front and back.

After many requests, here’s the new cast for 1/24 Retro McKee bodies for SCRRA  CanAm racing.

Width at rear wheelwell = 3.125″
Width at rear wheelwell = 3.125″
Length about the same as the TI22 long

Let’s hope the SCRRA approves!

Years before Pete passed away, he would often give me his input as to what bodies “needed work”.

Both he and John Cukras told me about the problem with the Kirby M8A body. After Pete passed away I felt it was time to fix the Kirby M8A, and here is the epoxy cast for the new M8A.

Width at rear wheelwell = 3.125
Width at front wheelwell = 3.125
Body length = about the same as the TI22 long
Added “Zimmerman” features!

I’ve always felt this was the best looking Retro M8A body, it looks (and may work) better now. Let just hope the SCRRA approves.

1/32 Mclaren M6A with driver insert. Not a TSP original works body. A replica.

Last October, I was contacted about making 1/24 V8 Supercar bodies. I agreed to make them however have lost contact with the person who ask me to produce them. But I’m pressing on!

They were to be completed and ready by March 2012.

At this time I only have the master pattern for the Holden in progress at about 95% completion. My best estimate for the release of the bodies is about June this year. I am sorry for the delay.

I changed my desktop photo today to this:

See how I get distracted! Nice idea for a new TrueScale body.

Recently TrueScale was informed of a “very serious concern” about maintaining the approval of TrueScale bodies on a approved body list, in regards to a form of Retro racing. One of the reasons being the availability of TrueScale bodies.

My understanding of  the “real” reason, this email was sent, is why my reply was as follows:

“Its probability a great idea you have to remove all TrueScale bodies from the approved body list. All the best,”

TrueScale is using new packaging

Much like the original TSP packaging was, through the 80’s and 1990’s.

This new packaging should save on higher shipping cost’s the TSP boxes create

Chris Walkers March 717.

Here’s the latest.

“You already lost your first chance to settle with me.  I hope you will treasure the 2^nd chance.”

That was an offer of $3,000.00 to give up the name TrueScale following chou’s comment to me.

 Was I intimadated by this comment? It was an attempt too intimadate but No. Were going to trial!
