1959scudetto

60 years later - 1959 Mopars, anyone else ?

Very good-looking station wagons, Paul !

Excellent execution of a very interesting piece of trucking history, Jürgen. I' m always looking forward to your next fascinating truck models !

Fujimis Enthusiast Model kits are a challenge - but definitely worth it (as proven by your flawless execution)!

Nice way to try to pizza HOT to the customers...

Absolutely - very nice car!!!

x 2 - extraordinary !!!

Very nice build of the Dino in "yellow fly". I built one for the owner of the real one in about 1990 in the very same color.

Very nice build of Hans Herrmann's great little race car in its colorful livery!

Exceptional model of one of the best looking sports racers ever !

x 2 - awesome !

old - but strong - and very realistic looking!

ABSOLUTELY !!!

Very nice model, Warren - that gives me an idea what to do with my ugly Dodge (seems to be the ideal donor for the White 3000)!

Matches perfectly with your 352 Reefer unit - with some more rigs from the same era you've got a perfect truck stop diorama.

Absolutely - this rig cries "early 70's" - it looks fantastic: the grill shutters, the smaller bumper, the paint scheme etc. etc. Especially on pic 3 or 4 you hardly can tell it from a real one !

Looks like the factory prototype: open Weber carbs, glass roof insert, missing rear hood vents.

Hi, Jeff - I see your point, but I have the Major Pack Cooper-Jarrett from Lesney Matchbox (see link enclosed) and I am sure its color is not correct (the pics of the original look to be (almost) black.

Can anyone help with the correct colors? I intend to build the Hendrickson double freighter in 1/25 in the not-too distant future which Matchbox did in 1962 - this was dark blue and yellow (I have one) All pics of the real truck that I know (books or internet) are in black and white. Fred Gruin who made some pics in the 60's of this vehicle has built a 1/87 model in black with orange accents - as he has witnessed the original one, I think this should be correct. Has anyone other informations about that topic? I appreciate your infos!

Two especially nice Welly models are the '63 split-window Corvette in red or light-blue metallic with realistically opening doors: https://ck-modelcars.de/de/welly-1-24-chevrolet-corvette-baujahr-1963-hellblau-metallic-24073b/p-48877/ and their 1976 Porsche turbo which has been done in - I think - 6 different colors (4 of them in Porsche museum packaging): https://ck-modelcars.de/de/welly-1-24-porsche-911-930-turbo-baujahr-1975-hellgruen-map02493014/p-26184/ I have both in my collection and find the proportions spot-on; the detailing is also not bad and offers some upgrading possibilities.

Everything you said about the kit is true (I built one over 30 years ago) but you made a very nice looking model out of it and I'm sure that your father will like it!

While 2018 may not have been your most productive year, Steven, it certainly is on top (as always with your beuatiful models) when it comes to building Quality - the 1960 (?) Imperial is mind-blowing !!!

This IS the stock version!

Outstanding replica - I have to get me one of these - very nice build and perfect paint job !

I have got a 1/24 Nakamura kit of this very same car via ebay last year. While it is a simple and rather crude kit, I think one can achieve a presentable result with some detailing and replacing the engine which looks like a truck diesel - this is due to electric engine and battery box (obviously a must for all Japanese manufacturers at hat time!) - which detracts a lot from the appearance. Another possibility would be to glue the engine cover shut and build it as a curbside. And yesterday I won a 1/20 Bandai Lamborghini Marzal kit on ebay.uk !
