Fujimi Ferrari 250gto
1959scudetto replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Pierre, I think you matched the desired color quite well. This is the problem with pictures from back in the day: they show the details (if they are of good quality), but they are either black and white or the colors look different on every picture depending on the lighting situation - additionally some may have bleached out over time, colors have faded or altered. So the best way is to rely on your feelings and find a good compromise (Pictures of restored race cars do not always sport the correct color) -
Carolina Freight B-61 Mack
1959scudetto replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Fantastic work, Brian ! These fleet trucks look a lot better than those pimped-up, customized "truck-rods" to me - a very, very nice and realistic build! -
Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe 1:24

Very nice 911, Mario - veyr fitting color for this classic! -
Kits you can't seem to have enough of.
1959scudetto replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just checked my excel sheet concerning my stash - the most - still unbuilt - kits I do have are: 13 Mini Coopers (stock, racing and rally versions, Morris and Austin) from Tamiya, Revell andFujimi 11 Ford GT40 (including a Ford Mk IV) from Fujimi, Revell, Arii and LeMans Miniatures) 10 Lancia Stratos (rally, road racing and stock versions) from Hasegawa, Revell and Tamiya 22 Ferrari 250 GTO, 250 SWB and 250 California Spider from Italeri, Revell, Protar and Gunze Sangyo (including 4 transkits from Umi, Mini Exotics, Tecnomodel and Carrera) -
Very nice model, Janos - the Figoni & Falaschi creations are the epitome of the Grandes Routières from France in the 1930's.

Rennsport Porsche Race Tractor
1959scudetto replied to Phildaupho's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
This is the real Gulf-Porsche :-) In Austria there is even a 24 hr-race with (modified and tuned) oldtimer-tractors (up to 1975) - 84 tractors start in several different classes - you can see them drifting, sliding and jumping around on muddy surface and on asphalt... (start is on Saturday, 2 p.m., the finish on Sunday, at the same time) -
Thanks, Dave - I tried to get the details correct as far as possible, but after painting I realised that the ventilation slots behind both side windows should have been closed (they do not exist on this very car). Unfortunately, I had almost run out of the color (can was used up), so I let it be like that.

Excellent build, Phil - this model looks aggressive and shows the untamed force of the original - even more so when standing beside its siblings which look harmless in comparison. I also like very much your group shots - excellent work in turning the Daytona version of the 2 D into the Nürburgring winning car of '66.

Fujimi Ferrari 250gto
1959scudetto replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Pierre, you are going to put most GTOs to shame (at least mine!) with your new build - I can hardly await the outcome. You started with a joke: build a kit OOB - this is something that you are simply NOT able to - it's not on your agenda ! The engine is evidence enough that even "out-of-the-box-builds Pierre style" means attention to the smallest details and lots of improvements - this is what makes your models so special. -
Old school or not - this is my favorite BMW, too - you did a marvellous job here, Mario - very nice in this orange (a typical '70s color which suits this car excellently) !

1968/69 Porsche 908 Longtail
1959scudetto replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
This is how a 908 longtail should look like ! Very nice model, Rich - simply perfect: the graceful body lines, the stance, the color and your trademark steerable front wheels. That windshield wiper would drive me nuts... -
Nissan r 390 GT Tamiya
1959scudetto replied to happy grumpy's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Very nice build, Mario -might not be your usual cup of tea, but shows (as usual) excellent execution in every aspect. -
Italeri 1/24 Ferrari 250GT California Spyder
1959scudetto replied to Justin Porter's topic in WIP: Model Cars
You could use the seats from Protar/Revell/Italeri's Giulietta Spider (look very similar) or from Bburagos die-cast California Spider. -
Thanks, Pierre, these wheels are definitive worth it - can't wait to see what excellent GTO you're going to build next. I need a quickbuilder now - this was giving me endless troubles I had not expected. My skills have rusted a bit and I don't have the patience for super detailing like you and Ace and Andy show in your WIPs - there is some competition going on, raising the bar always higher...
