1959scudetto

Arrived today via mail (ebay Germany): I stumbled over this fine body kit (made in Italy by BRM, intended to become a 1/24 slot racer) with crisp details and even photo-etched parts which will be turned into a static model using the old Heller 512 S as a donor kit for chassis, drivetrain and interior: It comes with 3 different versions of rear wings and compares very well with Fisher's Sunoco 512 M:

Well done Pierre - I'm glad that I took a last look into the forum before going to sleep. This one has the definitive "end-of-race" look without being battered or damaged - the wheels turned out fantastic - did you use the kit tires (or are these amt Firestones with rubbed off side lettering) ? IIRC, Mercedes used Continental rubber back then.

Thanks, but these are not builds, but die-cast models. My only work here was taking pictures.

Excellent - a truly fantastic model - the F1 cars of the 60's and 70's had character and each one had a different look - superb !

Looks great ! More pictures, please !!!

Though I'm not a fan of these ultra-modern extreme hypercars, you have created a marvellous model here - paint finish is outstanding, too!

Thanks for reviving this old thread - If you want to see more of the California Spider, you may look here:

Thanks, Noel - yes, they are all 1/24 scale - the Simca has been released about 15 years ago in the Italian Quattroruote newsstand series with opening hood, doors and trunk. It has been reissued several times in different series (all made by Ixo) but without opning panels. For instance,Modelissimo (Germany) has it for € 17,96 (stock version) and for € 19,95 (rally 2) - click on the following link : https://www.modelissimo.eu/ and then choose scale 1/24 and "Fabbri Editori" for the stock and "White Box" for the rally 2 .

Fishing for compliments, Steven ? I would say, this Dodge is as good as it gets - excellent model !

That is one tough workhorse - excellent weathering !

Very nice transformation of the 007 car into a normal street version, Mario, with your usual great photography. I will pass this on and wait for the standard version (I'm sure this one will follow sooner or later)

Excellent models - the Ferrari looks like it was a bigger scale with its very fine details.

Jason did it again - these will be the icing on the cake of your model, Pierre! I will order also several sets of these.

I'm with you, Pierre - after the GTO and the Lancia turbo which gave me more headaches than expected, I need a simple one in between.

Is this the Jägermeister 934 from Tamiya or Revell in the background?
