Dave, your model inspired me to search for a _Cheetah - I found this (in Australia): https://www.thepartsbox.com/shop/the-parts-box/slot-cars-parts/1439-cheetah-body-pack/ Do you know anything about them and their quality? They offer a Lotus Cortina, too. From their website, the models are looking quite good. Have you any experiences ?

Dave, you (again) created a very impressive model here! It certainly must have been a handful to drive this car: sitting almost on the rear axle trying to handle the brutal power - probably like bull-riding at a rodeo!

A very convincing replica of the '64 pace car, Ismael - love the detailing !

This is one fabulous model, Mark - it captures the lines of the original perfectly and could certainly be mistaken for a larger one.

Very nice looking model, Thomas !

A fine collection of rare GT40 classics you have here, Gary ! Thanks for showing them to us.

Very nice conversion, Tim - great to see something from you again. I have been thinking about the use of the Pegaso wheels for this one, too, keeping the cream version with the steel wheels and converting the silver one in a similar way.

Nice model, Rich - you are cranking the models out in a real racing mode: the P68 and 3 days late the XJ220... How is the quality of this kit in comparison to the old Italeri's (Ferrari kits of the late '80s) ?

Well done, Gary - this would surely fill a gap in my collection. Your GT40 group is very impressive to look at, Gary - I can see lots of great racers (and very rare models) here!

Awesome model of this iconic racer, Tony ! If I had to choose one NASCAR model for my collection, it would be this one. Excellent photography, tool

Fred Cady decals are very good to work with - I recently used a set which was almost 35 years old without any problem. They only demand a little more work, as each color is a seperate layer and you have to apply it one after the other. They lay down smoothly without setting solution.

Very nice replica, Rich - this is one of my absolute favorite racers because of its sheer beauty. You did this kit justice and the profil 24 kit has the correct proportions. Well done !

Just came upon your WIP - this will be interesting to see - Jason's wheels are great and the USCP engine parts look excellent (I was thinking about getting a set, too)

That is NICE !!! A wonderful model of one of the best-looking classic Ferraris ever (and there are lots of them) - very well done, Thomas !

You're welcome, Gary. In Italy, there is a F1 collection (IIRC 120 models) and a Ferrari F1 collection (80 models?) on the run - all in 1/24 scale. (A guy in Vienna offered the 2 above for € 19 each so I drove there to get them (only 10 miles from my home)

Lucky guy, I have only seen photos of it online. Exactly my words, Dave - though I also do have the later F50 and Enzo kits in my stash, I find them not as esthetically pleasing as the F40. Correct, Thomas, I cut it into the body with a hobby knife.

Thank you all for the positive comments on this kit (which has certainly its issues).

Thanks for the comments, Bob!

Excellent execution of your Mistral, Ken - it has definitely a French vibe to it - it reminds me a little bit of the 1937 Peugeot 402 Darl'Mat Roadster (pic from Ultimatecarpage.com):

Very nice Gary - cna't wait to see it finished!

Started working on body modifications of this old gluebomb...

I forgot my Teapot Graphics/John F. Johnson 1962 Ferrari SP resin kit (got this in 1993) and a very old (ca. 1966) FROG kit of a Lola T70 Spyder (was a half-built gluebomb snatched on ebay) which seems to be a kit made out of a slotracer = very crude:

You have 3 of my holy grails there, Scott ! Great !

This will be an awesome looking model - seems that starter has hit the contours and proportions of the car very well. It is admirable how you turn out such wonderful models in that small scale (I tried myself a few 1/43 kits more than 30 years ago, but gave up on it - much too tiny for me).
