1959scudetto

Thank you all for the positive comments on this kit (which has certainly its issues).

Thanks for the comments, Bob!

Excellent execution of your Mistral, Ken - it has definitely a French vibe to it - it reminds me a little bit of the 1937 Peugeot 402 Darl'Mat Roadster (pic from Ultimatecarpage.com):

Very nice Gary - cna't wait to see it finished!

Started working on body modifications of this old gluebomb...

I forgot my Teapot Graphics/John F. Johnson 1962 Ferrari SP resin kit (got this in 1993) and a very old (ca. 1966) FROG kit of a Lola T70 Spyder (was a half-built gluebomb snatched on ebay) which seems to be a kit made out of a slotracer = very crude:

You have 3 of my holy grails there, Scott ! Great !

This will be an awesome looking model - seems that starter has hit the contours and proportions of the car very well. It is admirable how you turn out such wonderful models in that small scale (I tried myself a few 1/43 kits more than 30 years ago, but gave up on it - much too tiny for me).

Jason of Jackmodelling makes excellent 3D printed Borrani spoke wheels in several sizes (even with matching Dunlop racing tires) - highly recommended ! Below, find 2 pics of this wheel/tire combo on a Ferrari 250 GTO (Italeri): He is on holiday now, and will be back on July 30 - here is his e-mail address and e-bay shop: contact.jackmodelling@gmail.com https://www.ebay.com/str/jackmodelling

Finally finished this one: started around 1990 and finished it today. Mostly box stock apart from some detailing. In comparison with its civilian brother (also Italeri): "Winged warriors" - Italian style: Here is sort of a WIP if interested:

Absolutely wonderful model, nice Ferrari collection !

Very nice model, Gary - compared with the 64(?) Grand Sports in the background of your last pic, it looks almost tame and innocent (like a wolf in sheepskin)

Thanks, Gary - hope to get it finished this weekend.

Last update: tires almost ready mesh panel with rear lights almost done rear view mirrors almost done (made from a Bburago Alpine A 110 rear light housing with plastic sprue and putty) the rather complex drivetrain (with several fitting issues) using the original Italeri F40 partially as a reference : Next time in "Under Glass" !

Fantastic !
