Batmobile
1959scudetto replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Pierre, I would go on with the Otaki first and keep the Airfix up for later. You could build them in 2 different liveries : a white works car and the green Gösser Beer Schnitzer team car for instance. I would not have guessed that there are such differences in dimensions... -
Ferrari 250GT Barn Find!

This neglected interior looks so real, Jason - simply unbelievable : especially the worn leather seats! -
Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari 641/2
1959scudetto replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Do you mean this one ? Got it from ebay some years ago very cheap - it is missing the windshield and one wheel. Jack modeling has awesome spoke wheels (and period Dunlop racing tires) - I know, in 1956 Ferrari used Englebert tires but these would certainly pimp the model up . -
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
1959scudetto replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Matt, check Jason's wheel sets (he has a set for the Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm available, which looks very similar) : https://www.ebay.de/itm/185976415183?itmmeta=01J80QWZCHTDHKJRX3GQXN46BS&hash=item2b4d0ee3cf:g:JU8AAOSwexlkzOXS -
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
1959scudetto replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Dave, not all the 33 stradales were red - one single car had been painted blue at the factory (shown in my 1992 book "Alfa Romeo street cars since 1950") - here are the pics - a street-legal race car: Could be possible that it has been restored in the meantime and repainted red like all the others... Here is my photo of the original 1967 prototype (shot in November 1983/ Niki Lauda racing car show, Vienna): -
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
1959scudetto replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Rich, 18 chassis were built in 1967/68 - 1 prototype and about 12 "stradale", the remaining chassis were used for several dream cars like the Carabo, Coupé 33/2 Stradale, Cuneo, and Iguana among others. Here is the original prototype: -

1959scudetto replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I saw the original prototype (with 4 headlights) at the Niki Lauda Racing car show ca. 1983 in Vienna (must have a color print somewhere...) -

Interesting method, Rich - has its advantages. -

Wow, Rich - I will certainly follow this one - I guess you will hit the 1000 in 5 years. -
Finally – ready for painting. After endless seemingly days of sanding and correcting small issues – again applying putty and sanding and priming over and over I finally give up and let it be. Several mishaps occurred when trying to make things better, so sometimes they came out worse. The hardest part was the concave deepening in front of the rear spoiler: it was uneven and had to be redone 3 or 4 times till I found it acceptable. The NACA ducts also have been reworked several times and crumbled out when reshaping them. A cut in the nose had to be filled and a small piece of the rear spoiler’s left corner broke off which was replaced and blended in again - replacing the whole rear spoiler would have destroyed almost everything). I certainly cannot see any putty for a long time ! It may not be perfect, but I cannot do better, so I called it a day...

T41 Bugatti sport coupe
1959scudetto replied to charlie libby's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Charlie - this is for me kind of extraterrestrial model building - in the class of Antonietti/Bossac or Wingrove - working with metal like the Italian carozziere of the 50/60's or the French coachbuilders of the 30's. (I'm already happy when I can handle styrene and putty for achieving acceptable results) -
Beautiful GTO - these EM kits are quite a challenge to build, but definitely worth it - a rewarding experience in any case.

Brilliant, Pierre - major surgery again! -
Ford C100 Group C
1959scudetto replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
this looks very good, Dave, and quick, too - while I am struggling with one kit, you have almost done 2 racers in the same time. -
Charles, you could easily make a tutorial about realistic weathering/wear - the result is plastic looking like REAL metal !

1/24 1955 Mille Miglia 300SLR, 300 SL and 180 D
1959scudetto replied to smartdriver's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Compared with Stirlings "722" SLR, the car of Fangio looks almost if it was before and not after the race (no visible dents here on car "658") ! -

1/12 tamiya RA 273
1959scudetto replied to Brudda's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Thanks, Bruce. Then it must have been Tamiya's big Lola T70 Coupe with Bridgestone on the sidewall.
