Great paint job. I like the idea of drilling holes to help the PE. I will be keen to see how this works out.

That looks great. I’m looking forward to seeing it under glass.

Great work on converting the dashboard.

This is fantastic. I first saw one of these in a book at Junior School. My 8 year old self was blown away. You done a great job with that 3D printed shell.

Very well done. The paint job is perfect.

Fantastic job. I watched your WIP thread with interest, and the finished result is stunning.

Amazing job. I literally thought I was looking at a 1:1 car at first. Photographed perfectly too.

Nice paint job and foil work ??.

Great job on filling the roof in.

You’re doing a great job on this kit. I especially like the fix on the fins and the windshield replacement looks 100 times better.

I think they’ve just added pictures. Click on the link in the first post then scroll to the bottom of the page.

I have the MFH Cobra 1/12 in my stash to build some day. It’s a super impressive kit. If the C1 kit is anything like this it’ll be very tempting, though I see that prices of more recent releases have crept up.

Well this is unexpected from MFH... https://www.modelfactoryhiro.com/hpgen/HPB/entries/511.html If money were no object, I'd definately buy one.

This is a great kit, and you’re doing a fine job. Despite your problems, the red finish looks great and looks just like Guards Red to me. I prefer using pink primer for red cars, as I have had the exact same problem in the past. I used to own a 1:1 of these about 15 years ago. They hit rock bottom prices back then. At that time I picked up a few Hasegawa kits, and the Revell kit (which is the same tool as the Hasegawa). The Italeri kit is a different tool. Hasegawa also make a 968 Porsche (which is the later version of the 944), and many parts are interchangeable. I intend on building a 944, with 968 wheels as a replica of my 1:1 car some day. One thing I learned from the 944 community at the time, was that the non-sunroof cars were preferred as track cars. If you are building as a track car, then you have the best kit to begin with, but if you’re building a street version you can ‘pinch’ the rear seat from Hasegawa or Revell kit.

Sounds like you have the same problem as me. Too many projects on the go at once, and I just want to do to work on them all now. Great paint job on all those. My favourite is the blue/white Hornet.

I saw a 1:1 Liberty Walk Aventador at the Goodwood Festival in the summer 2022. That was a truly awesome car to see in the flesh. I had assumed that the Aoshima Huracan kit would be their full detail kit with add on parts, so I’m surprised to see it’s a snap kit. The coloured body shell looks pretty good. I hope you can still use those PE grills despite the plastic thickness. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Urs, you have done it again. That is stunning. Very nice build, and beautiful photography too.

That's a beauty. The paint finish looks great.

I’ve never seen one of these kits built up before. This looks stunning. Very nice indeed.

Love that tough looking stance.

That’s a beautiful Caddy. I’ve never seen this colour scheme - it looks great.

Very nice build. The paint finish is stunning

I love the engineering. It’s like seeing a 1:1 race car come together.

Amazing craftsmanship. This will be a masterpiece.

Very nice work.
