Group 5 Special Production Cars
1959scudetto replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Pierre, Gary's BMW 3,0 CSL (Tokyo Maruii) looks great, but the 3,5 CSL from ARII/Micro Ace only looks good on the box lid, but is really awful - body distorted (grill and headlights too small, front spoiler huge!, wheels too tiny, tires too fat ==> it looked like the box of the US Airfix version in your post(could have been the same kit), the decals are junk, the whole kit is a mess - so I sold it a few years ago. The Gunze 365 GTB however, is a toy and not a model kit in my eyes with a very shallow stock ( !) interior and a sheet with racing decals - the body shows similarities with the real car, the rest is totally useless (eventually for slot racing). I wanted to take some pics, but could not find it anywhere. -
This looks like a well-used racer from back then - very nice details and weathering (and of course, the base-plate, too)!

Excellent manufacturing of the grille, Dave ! -
Similar with me: I started ca. 1969 with sailing ships and 1/72 airplanes from Airfix, moved on to their 1/32 car kits (in plastic bags!), in the mid 70's a few Matchbox 1/32 cars. I really started in 1982 with 1/25 American trucks and cars and have now moved to 1/24 (mainly) sports and race cars.

Very nice model, Rich - I was thinking the same as Gary (NO race car this time?) but I now remember other non-racers from you, f. e. the Jaguar E's and some more...

Looks good, Rex - I guess this is the tilt/Maruii kit ?
-
Super-clean build of anAmerican icon, Anders - excellent paint and detailing/foiling!

Arrived today via mail (ebay Germany): I stumbled over this fine body kit (made in Italy by BRM, intended to become a 1/24 slot racer) with crisp details and even photo-etched parts which will be turned into a static model using the old Heller 512 S as a donor kit for chassis, drivetrain and interior: It comes with 3 different versions of rear wings and compares very well with Fisher's Sunoco 512 M:

Well done Pierre - I'm glad that I took a last look into the forum before going to sleep. This one has the definitive "end-of-race" look without being battered or damaged - the wheels turned out fantastic - did you use the kit tires (or are these amt Firestones with rubbed off side lettering) ? IIRC, Mercedes used Continental rubber back then.

Alfa Romeo Giulia - old and new (1965 - 2015)

Thanks, but these are not builds, but die-cast models. My only work here was taking pictures. -
MFH Tyrrell 006
1959scudetto replied to 2whl's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Excellent - a truly fantastic model - the F1 cars of the 60's and 70's had character and each one had a different look - superb ! -
Though I'm not a fan of these ultra-modern extreme hypercars, you have created a marvellous model here - paint finish is outstanding, too!

Thanks for reviving this old thread - If you want to see more of the California Spider, you may look here:

Thanks, Noel - yes, they are all 1/24 scale - the Simca has been released about 15 years ago in the Italian Quattroruote newsstand series with opening hood, doors and trunk. It has been reissued several times in different series (all made by Ixo) but without opning panels. For instance,Modelissimo (Germany) has it for € 17,96 (stock version) and for € 19,95 (rally 2) - click on the following link : https://www.modelissimo.eu/ and then choose scale 1/24 and "Fabbri Editori" for the stock and "White Box" for the rally 2 .

Fishing for compliments, Steven ? I would say, this Dodge is as good as it gets - excellent model !

Another Autocar DC9964B .. with a twist
1959scudetto replied to Biggu's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That is one tough workhorse - excellent weathering ! -
Very nice transformation of the 007 car into a normal street version, Mario, with your usual great photography. I will pass this on and wait for the standard version (I'm sure this one will follow sooner or later)

Ferrari 156 "Sharknose"
1959scudetto replied to Bilingham's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Excellent models - the Ferrari looks like it was a bigger scale with its very fine details. -
