Dave, you make me wanna start mine much earlier than I had intended originally...
Tread and dimensions of the tires look pretty good for a late 60's racer.
Very nice build of this iconic Ferrari, Bruce ! Good to see a non-red one.
These crude tires are the typical Italeri Dunlop racing tires they have been using since the 80's for all of them classic Ferraris (and the Mercedes 300 SL, too)
Well done, Dave - very interesting car and history: with its elongated nose it looks almost the same front and rear in the side view.
I followed your WIP and was mostly impressed by your creating the grille - fantastic !
Dave, I will be following this one - the 3L/P68 is one of my favorites - I have the very same book in my library and a 1/24 built kit that I will disassemble and re-do with correct colors and markings (BOAC 500, Brands Hatch 1968) - I will take yours as an inspiration. Here is mine (as it came via ebay Italy, bought 5 years ago) :
There is quite a bit of work (dealing with that metal body) up ahead for you, Pierre.
But I can assure you, the styrene body kit shows the very same heavy parting lines... Anyway, the outcome will be great - of course, I will follow your WIP.
Very good looking Porsches, Pierre - good idea to build some simpler kits after these exhausting SWB/SLR work !
I'm looking forward to your XK-120 (I have it in my stash too, but the full plastic version - no die-cast body)
Very nice collection, Phil - Dan Gurney was one of the all-time greats in motor racing history.
The Gurney display in your cabinet shows some awsome models!
