A Kurtis Kraft racer of 1956, the kit number is PC212M-198.
Its on auction & wondered what it is worth, anyone ever build one?
Thanks, Jay.

I have no idea what it is worth, but I just built one of the
non-motorized versions. It is a decent kit. The biggest problem with it
is that it uses a "steering wheel and steering front axle". To make it
steer properly, the fittings on the spindles are huge, equivalent to
about 3 or 4 inch Heim joints. If you file these down to a smaller size
it looks fine. The model also needs addition of the left side cockpit
upholstery panel and a firewall. But it builds into a reasonably nice
KK roadster.

Jay, I did a search and found one at
http://homepage3.nifty.com/Fleetwood/drag1%2002-04.html
its a Japanese site, they want 23,200 yen for it. Didn't give much
information.
Found a few non-motorized kits(reissues) & one motorized 1959 indy kit
on ebay. Just go to ebay.com & search for KK500C.

Thanks Don & Den for the info, looks like a fun kit to build, I love
the looks of the old Indy racers.
