  1. Sorry for mixing things up - but this is the Airfix reboxing of the Heller kit (for some time the mother company was Heller-Humbrol). I too have several Airfix versions of Heller kits (Alfa Romeo 1750, Ferrari Dino 206 S, Jaguar E racing...)
  2. Very good looking Chevy, Mario - your model bases/photo backdrops are very cool as well and add very much to the presentation of your wonderful models.
  3. Same here - just took note that I had answered on Jan. 3, 2016...
  4. This is the best model of that kit that I've ever seen ! Small mistake at the rear: the lights should have been flush with the body - mounted from the outside (but Heller's instructions are not always clear, leave always some room for interpretation ...) - other than that: very cool !
  5. Thank you. Samuel.
  6. Quite a good solution with these wheels, Pierre (Jason always delivers).
  7. Thank you, Carl !
  8. Very nice model,Misha - I followed your WIP last year. I wish you a healthy New Year and that you will overcome your health issues !
  9. Well done, Bruce - especially the Surtees Honda F1 - even not historically correct - is awesome !!!
  10. George, I think the model was first released in 1972/73 as the 1972 Monte Carlo winner (1967 was the first appearance of the real Fulvia HF) - Polistil was not existant then - Politoys was the predecessor in the late 60's/early 70's.
  11. This is the Polistil 1/25 fictitious polar expedition version: https://www.carmodel.com/politoys-polistil/s19/1-25/lancia/fulvia-1600-hf-spedizione-polare/10927 For all 1/24 fans: Hachette released in Italy few years ago a fantastic, highly detailed diecast version of Sandro Munari's 1972 Monte Carlo rally winning car in their WRC series collection (made by Ixo):
  12. No race car this time, Rich ? Anyway, pedal to the metal: just a week of 2025 and you take the chequered flag already. Looks good with your signature steering wheels. I thought this is a Monogram kit (or is it a Revell reissue?)
  13. That is true craftsmanship Donald - turning this awkward kit into a model that does really look like a 356 Speedster! Awesome lighting, too !
  14. I re-entered the hobby in 1982 (after a long break during my teenage years). My first model was amt's Peterbilt 359 Wrecker - here is what it looks like today ( I only re-glued a few fallen off pieces 3 years ago - my oldest surviving build therefore is a truck):
  15. Many thanks for the nice comments, guys - I wish you all a happy and prosperous year 2025 !
  16. You maybe right, Peter - on bare metal I would also use primer first. My next project will be a Alfa 1900 Carrera Panamericana made from a die-cast - has already been stripped to bare metal = ready for priming.
  17. Bill, I will use a Fujimi 356 for the Abarth-Carrera (have several kits + 2 junkers), the Abarth 205 Vignale will be built curbside with a scratch bare racing interior (for chassis # 102, see pic below) and wheels from Jack modeling: For the Pegaso I have the idea of turning it into the Z 102 Thrill of 1953 ( I have 4 diecast Z102S for interior/chassis etc.): But this will not be done in the immediate future, I just wanted to secure the bodies for me - a German slotracer was selling off part of his collection ...
  18. Plastic looking like metal - fantastic, Pierre !
  19. Received 3 resin bodies today from a German ebayer: Abarth-Carrera GTL (Porsche): Abarth 205 A Berlinetta GT Vignale: Pegaso Z 102 S Touring:
  20. Tamiya TS red sprayed directly onto a Welly diecast without primer ! I just masked the rear fenders and sprayed Italian red directly onto the silver body: the color is very hard and cannot be scratched with fingernails!
  21. Here are the other ways: 1/24 diecasts from Italy (made by Ixo): 3 basic versions from 1972 (the weakest with 63 hp): and 2 ti versions from 1982 (the strongest, with 105 hp):
  22. Very good looking models, Geno.
  23. Excellent weathering on a perfectly built mixer !
  24. Bought several kits (some diecasts too), made lots of plans, started some builds/conversions, but finished only these (all 1/24 scale): Diecasts: Reworked/repainted/modified a 1967 Citroen Ami 6 Break - as a present for its owner: Refined a Welly Porsche 550 Spyder: Model Kits: Optimized my old Monogram Cobra 427 S/C: Repaired/restored my old Gunze 289 Cobra Daytona Coupé: Finally started and finished my Ford P68 project (rebuilt and modified a very old gluebomb, kept me busy from June until November - see WIP):
