Thanks for the update - wishing him the best.

Yes, but it looks like the non-High Tech version can be had for around $25.

Yes, but by '67 I imagine everyone had gone to alternators.

Yes, the oil fill would be through the valve cover; at least one breather per cover. On a side note, I'm not sure how far you want to go with this build and whether you're trying to be period/rules correct, but If you're really intending on going "full race" you could even do a Weber carb set-up like an FIA Cobra.

Good choice - I'll be paying attention!

"Under Glass" thread here - in case you missed it (sinking down fast):

Two years in the making - not because it should have taken that long, but mostly because I can easily make things more complicated, coupled with some real-life issues that mitigated against much quality bench time. Anyway, the idea is for it is to be a mid-bucks, practical street car with some style. Finally finished last night! A few representative shots below, much more at the link at the bottom: Full album here: https://public.fotki.com/Roullier/model_cars-1/moebius-1965-comet/ Build thread here:

It's done! I'll put a post in the "Under Glass" section a little later today - meanwhile, here's a teaser:

Looks like it's closely based on the Mondello & Matsubara Fiat:

Good thinking! That hadn't occurred to me. It's pretty hard to get much metallic red paint into those thin spaces.

Almost (finally) done, but meanwhile here's a little oddity - has anyone else noticed this? There are two parts on the "glass" tree that aren't shown on the instruction sheet: The only place they fit is in the rear panel: But the tail light piece covers all that: Stay tuned, should be finished any day now!

The Triumph TR3 comes in both stock and racing versions, and there's a TR2 Le Mans. There's also an Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV (both High-Tech street version and a racing version) and several versions of the GTA.

Outstanding build of one of all-time favorites! He really nailed this one. Great base & photos, too. Not to be greedy, but any shots of the engine?

There are also Gunze versions of the 2CV and Volkswagen Beetle with figures.

Yes, both of them in fact! Here's the Messerschmitt from the double kit, but it's the same as the one on your box, but without the figures: I also have the High Tech version, but un-built yet. And here's the Fiat with figures from the animated movie: Of course they're tiny (as are the real things), so they're fiddly and Gunze does things a little differently, but with patience they build up nicely. Not overly detailed, but well-proportioned to my eyes, and kind of a lark to build.
