I'd do the Vanwall first, partly because I like them, but also because, with four of them, you should have enough good spare parts to make a whole one.

They are Vanwalls aren't they?

A question I have for builders of Merit kits....what wheels and tires do you use to be "in scale"?

I use Pendleslot PCS Vintage 1/32 Scale 23" Alloy Wheels - I think Penelope Pitman originally made them of for the Scalextric Bentley and Alfa. Pendleslot also do a vintage tyre the Vintage Autounion tyre (30mm x 9mm)  that works well size wise or you can buy MJK tyres to suit them as well. Wheels and tyre combo comes out around 30-32mm and looks around the same as the kit wheels.

Thanks for your reply.
I have some of those and thought they looked a bit on the small side…. No?

W196 would be my choice.   A good looker if nothing else...
