Very cool. I saw a program, perhaps the same one about that car. Looked scary, but very cool. Very nice model.
well, probably not, because it was in a german tv-show where i saw it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBRjATOZUoA#t=01m36s
there also appear the versions with the ferrari and the lambo engine - but they are too radical for my taste. so i went for the prosche ...

bad ass!

a Kübelrod - a genius idea.
i think you should re-do the rollcage and the exhaust - can be done on the finished model and will improve the result a lot! -
not a band, but definitely australian:

interesting engine layout: a transverse mounted V12 - is this the Honda F1 RA 272 kit?

That is cool. I think I saw that on escale.
that is correct, but the site is down now.

I was going to say exactly the same. Great modification.
mille grazie ragazzi!

for those who are not so good in italian: its about a 911 Fiat 500
the story behind is quite simple: an italian mechanic put a porsche engine in an old fiat 500, i saw this on TV and wanted to make the same in scale.
i decided not only to use the engine, but to transfer also the complete interior, suspension, wheels and tyres.
and the rest was a lot of squeezing and cutting to make everything fit into the tiny fiat.
the wheel-arches were completely made of putty and the engine has "lost" its turbo due to lack of space and for optical reasons.
but later on the turbo will appear in a different project ...
here is the original: http://www.oemmedi.it/en/500_porsche.htm
my kits to work with:the engine, interior and suspension without the body-shell:
and the result:
-
Those are so beautiful racecars. If the weren't killing so many divers the would be perfect.

thank u guys.
here is another one of the interior (before hiding it behind tiny windows)
if anyone knows how this kind of steeringwheel customizing is called - pls. let me know. i could not find anything -

Love the chop
Looks so much neater than the Revell kit. Have you any build up shots of where you cut it please.thank u.
i havent documented my build, but i have "stolen" the chopping an sectioning procedure from this forum where James2 has made a lot of pics in his thread:

Nice ! As Richard would say " get you some of that " !

Welcome DaSpeedinger, very nice job on the Merc. Did you paint it with a brush? It looks very good!
thank u brizio. yes - its brushed. normally i do motorcycles, there not airbrushing or spraying is not really an issue. so for the few cars i made i did not start doing so.

i used to post my latest builds on eScale, but the site is down now. as i found this forum during my research works for my mercury project, i now decided to register here as well. so, thats why i'm here now. some of you already noticed that.
usually i build motorcycles in scale 1/12. but i have done 4 cars recently - 911 fiat 500, shelby gt350 turbo, '49 merc and porschrod.
all of these have one thing in common: none is oob.
i plan to share my favourite builds one after one here with you and hope you also like them as i do.
greez,
