Hi,
I am just building up a vintage Strombecker 1/32 BRM - F1 body kit #8135-129 and wondered if anyone could tell me the width of the front and rear axles, or the track, measured at the centre line of the wheels or the width of the car measured at the outside of the wheels , so that I can use the correct axles. I will be using the Porsche wheels, kidney shaped hole design, which I think were used on this BRM.
This body was missing a rear cover plate, if anyone has a spare.

OK here it is with original decals which were included in the kit. I had to coat them with Microscale Decal liquid to try to salvage them since they were already starting to break up.
