1959scudetto

Very nice and clean Cadillac, Jean-Philippe - excellent color choice and execution!

Fantastic work Pico, great model !!!

Very impressive truck-trailer combination, Graham - I also have this one on my want list!

Nice truckstop scene !

Many thanks for your tip - I will see what I can do with it even if I'm not quite sure at the moment what you mean with groove (I will check it within the next days together with the instruction sheet); the problem is that I have been over-optimistic having read excellent reviews for this - then brand new - kit back in 1999. I bought it then and spray-painted and polished all body parts without doing any dry-fitting before that: BIG MISTAKE !!! - after a 15 year-break I finally want to bring this neverending story (on and off several times: engine/frame and chassis/interior) to a good end. Adding plastic strips and re-painting the hood would be the very last solution for me, and I will try to avoid that if anyhow possible.

Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship, Sergej !!! Top model and photography !

Moreover, the middle of the 3 air intakes has been much larger than the left and right ones on the original Ulf Norinder car (pictured on the Targa Florio 1964)

Hallo guys, has anyone experienced fitment issues in final assembly of this kit? Especially when placing the hood ? When installing the main body on the chassis, there is a 1 mm-gap between body and firewall (I glued this before onto the floor pan, as opposed to the instructions) - whe glueing this down using cyanoacrylate, the rear comes up a bit and the bumper would sit much too low. Even if I can solve this problem there is still another one left: after installing the front fender/grill unit onto the body and frame, the hood is sitting too far forward, leaving a prominent gap of about 1,5 mm in front of the windshield ! On a German website a builder said that he added styrene strips to close the gap and re-sanded, re-primed and repainted the hood - is this the only way to overcome this? I am building one in commission for the owner of the real car and would like to avoid repainting with BMW 198 royalbluemetallic, as the real one. Anyway, this kit gives me hard times. In comparison, I had no problems with Fujimi Enthusiasts over-200-parts Dino 246 GT or with Jo-Hans complex Chrysler Turbine kit - htey went together quite easily (but that was also 25 respectively 35 years ago...) I would be grateful for any help.

very nice chain-driven old iron!

Great weathering and a perfectly fitting flatbed trailer !!!

x 2: Great family shot !

The best version of the Astro 95 I've ever seen ! Perfect paint and very nice details! of course very nice photography, too.

That was my first impression also - the roof looks like it has been chopped - it is definitely too low; also the tire diameter seems to be a bit undersized (at least for the time of the original !)

Geoff, do you know when this will be released and where it can be ordered?

This CLASSIC is really a Classic (beauty) - perfect truck-trailer combo!

Amazing - I like older Italian sports cars most - I too have this Alfa in my stash for about 20 years (still unbuilt), but you raise the bar once again to unreachable heights...

Very nice Porsche, Alex - good to see finally a new model from you - even if it's not from Maranello!

Hello Brian, I just happened to find a youtube video showing the engine and also for a few seconds the black leather interior; extra bonus: engine sound!!!

Very nice truck-trailer combo, Brian! Could be driven out of one of Ron Adams' fine trucking books! I'm gonna redo most of my old (mid 80's) truck builds to look similar (I've overdone it than with fancy paint and too much chrome) Is this a 3D-printed grille on the KW?

Exceptionally well done plain Jane fleet service truck - super!

First class !

Very nice looking Freightliner - awesome paint job!

Simply GREAT!!!

Absolutely my thoughts, Gary - William did a wonderful job - I never saw one of these built up (will save these pics as a reference, super details abound, f.i. the leather seats...) as did Paul Fisher back then (I have all the MRRN mags in my collection and wondered why Paul did NOT add this one to his own range of race car models, too) - Unfortunately, this was out of my wallet then...

very nice build of Larini's 1993 championship car! The upwards pointing exhaust tips were dropped for the following season so they must not have been succesful: my guess is that if under hard braking when the following car bumped an Alfa, the exhausts were squeezed which might have negatively influenced the flow of the exhaust fumes probably reduced engine poweer also. Moreover, it was necessary to protect the plastic bumpers with heat shields.This was only used in 1993 when Nicola Larini stormed the DTM and took the championship.
