    Sounds like this, Maybe?

    2020 Iso Rivolta GTZ. Who cares if anyone's ever heard of it? It's beautiful.

    Oh, I'm well aware of its origins. It was just nice to be able to get one without having to pay speculator prices.

    I picked this up from the LHS. Love these speculative designs because someone actually tried to figure out how to make a spacecraft. I got these off the clearance table. I have no idea what the story is on these, but they looked interesting, and the price was right.

    I might want to take another try at that Mustang II.

    Apparently the '70 GT-500s were just unsold '69s fitted with a chin spoiler and some new emissions equipment, so it's possible that it's the same kit.

    I've been collecting references to model one myself, so I recognized that chassis.

    Nice start on the Wasp.

    They do build up nice. Revell really needs to bring the stock parts back.

    For me, the big clue was the car int he background. It looked like some sort of manufacturer's display, so if you know the one if the back is a TVR Trident, so if you Googled "TVR" and "Fissore" (the coachbuilder responsible for the Trident prototype), this is one of the first results.

    That's pretty much what happened. They redid the nose.

    I think you forgot me.

    I got a copy of The Speed Seekers, by Thomas G. Foxworthy. It's a deep dive into air racing during the 1920s. So much reference material for the airplane modeler.

    Nice engine. Almost a shame to cover it up.

    When the attachment is that thick, I'd just as soon take a saw to it.

    The top one is a 1941 Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet rebodied as a fire truck after the war. https://bangshift.com/general-news/car-features/the-oh heaven's to Betsy!-files-the-horch-853-sport-cabriolet-fire-truck-conversion/

    With what kits are going for, I think I'l have to pass on that. I think there is a happy medium, though.

    A set of Lyon hubcaps for the vintage custom/hot rod crowd would be nice, sized to fit the Revell '40 and '48 Fords, or even the big & little tires Revell uses on their hot rod kits.

    They are a struggle, but you did a nice job on yours.

    I took a closer look at the second one, and maybe it's a 1928 Chevrolet?
  23. Richard Bartrop
    If you blow up the pic, Stutz is right on the radiator. That is a nice set of wheels. No idea what the second car is. The third one looks like a 1936 Chevrolet.
  24. Richard Bartrop
    Scalemates says 1965, which sounds about right. The ad on the instruction sheet shows the Duesenberg, Rolls and Mercedes 540K kits, but not the Bugatti.
  25. Richard Bartrop
    Nice. I have one of those that's nearly done. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it
