Mike Klessig
West Bend, Wisconsin
This 1/43 scale Penske PC-18 Indy car is all white metal and has the heft to prove it. This was the first time Mike built an Indy car in this scale, and he finished it as the car driven by Rick Mears to win the pole position for the 1989 Indy 500. After building the kit box stock, Mike airbrushed the car with Tamiya Pure Yellow lacquer over white primer.
