Looks great! the paint and decal work is outstanding.

40's today and 50's tomorrow. Then back in the teens and 20's for the next several days. The roller coaster continues.

Great job! I like the color also.

Very nice looking truck.

Looks very nice!

Great job. Love the conversion.

Geoff, it would be very easy to get his supplies. He could get a third party to order for him or he could even setup a shell company. It would be very difficult for a small company in Spain to track this activity.

Looks great Wayne!

Great job!

Great job! I really like the color as well.

All three look great! I particularly like your choice of color on the 2nd Ferrari.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I appreciate it . Thanks for the link to the video Dale. It's amazing to see that car run.

Looks great Pat. I think the camo looks quite realistic.

Looks very nice! Great work with the paint and decals.

Very nice! You did a great job.

Great job! Looks stunning.

Thank you Bo. I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you Dave. I find it amazing that it won at least one race and that the only reason the project did not go any further was that Goodyear would not produce the front tires after the 1977 season.

Thank you Bruce. Yes, it is the Tamiya 1:20 kit.

Looks great! The decal work is really superb.

I bought this one about 15 years ago and the fiddly construction and the lack of Goodyear markings for the tires made me put it back on the shelf. Last fall, I finally decided to get this one done. I figured the only way to get this one done properly was to follow the instructions step by step. It turned out to be a three month project as there were times I could only glue a few parts together before I could move along no further. I will say though, the kit is a bit of a marvel for the level of detail given its age as it has a number of the pieces to make the car a motorized toy, which, from what I understand, was fairly common for Japanese models of the time. Along the way, I found a decal sheet from Studio 27 and painted the car primarily using Tamiya paint. I had some struggles getting the front four tires to sit correctly and the getting the rear wing to sit level. But, I finally got it done and am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. It is one of the most unique race cars ever made and will look good on the shelf. Thanks for looking.

Often when people lash out like this, and it is out of character, it has nothing to do with you, but something else he may be going through. If the friendship is worth saving, it may be worth the time to see what caused the over reaction. If not, there will always be others that will appreciate your generosity.

Great job! The AMT kits can be tough to get to look right.

Great job Tim! Outstanding work.

That is nice! Looks really outstanding.
