  1. Here are some additional kits that would be candidates for a RHD to LHD conversion Aoshima Daihatsu Copen Aoshima Honda Beat Aoshima Suzuki Cappuccino Fujimi Fiat Barchetta Fujimi Toyota MR-S turbo Fujimi Honda NSX/NSX-R Most of these kits have had multiple re-issues (different box art, photoetch added, etc.) so I haven't included the kit numbers I have done one conversion of the Fujimi Honda NSX by resin casting the dashboard from the Tamiya NSX kit (24100), with some persuading to get it to fit. I have yet to take an existing dash and switch the halves. The other option is to find a 3D printer who would be willing to scan, flip and print out the LHD version of a dashboard. Would be quite a bit of work and would need to be able to recoup those costs.
  2. Falcon Scale Models is a 3D print company out of Poland that does 1:12 scale motorcycle parts (chains, clutch baskets) and some 1:20 scale F1 parts His eBay name is falconsm_1 and the website is https://www.falconscalemodels.com/
  3. Here's my story: I want to do the street legal Porsche 935 K3 that Walter Wolf contracted Kremer to produce after the Le Mans race (see photo), but there was no kit really close to it. Then Beemax/Aoshima produced the K2 and I bought it thinking that I could use that as a starting point, but it would require quite a bit of bodywork. Then Renaissance produced a resin kit (or you could buy the resin body alone). Many of the details matched the Wolf K3 (notably the front headlight/clip) and so I bought the body and would use the K2 chassis underneath. I have even got a guy to custom produce the logo and script decals for the car using metallic gold printing (ALPS printer, I believe) And now I see that Platz nunu produced the K3 Le Mans car which is much closer to the Wolf car and so I have ordered that as well. I guess it pays (or actually costs a lot) to be patient! (anyone interested in a Renaissance resin body?)
  4. This sounds like a great idea to honour a great contributor to sports cars. This fits very well with the theme of the upcoming Kingston Modelrama contest in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on May 5 - "Rembering Carroll Shelby". Most contests have a collection category - five or more models with a single theme. I've entered a few, "5 convertible sports cars that I will never be allowed to own" and recently a "Mustangs - Then and Now" collection. This last collection consisted of 6 Mustangs, in three pairs, with each pair being an older ('60's) version and a more modern version ('06 to '08). For the Kingston show I want to enter a diorama/collection of 6 Shelby cars with the same idea - an older version and a modern version. I already have 4 of them built: Shelby Cobra 427 - built out of the box The modern companion - Shelby Series 1 - also built out of the box with the same paint as the Cobra 427 For the second pair, the older version is the GT350R that raced at 1967 LeMans - lots of body and interior modifications and the modern companion is a 2008 GT500 street legal car made to look like a racer The final pair I started about a month ago - GT500KR's from the 1968 AMT kit and the 2008 Revell kit. They've both been painted with the same Testors Ferrari red and Alclad dull aluminum stripes. I'll post the final versions once I've completed the last pair.
