1959scudetto

Fantastic model, Matt - one of F1's alltime greats in probably the worldwide best known livery (as is Gulf in sports car racing)!

Do you mean these two: https://www.carmodel.com/de/mondomotors/mm51049/1-24/lamborghini/miura-p400s/27532 https://www.carmodel.com/de/mondomotors/mm51055/1-24/maserati/mc12-2006/29851 I don't have any of them so I can't comment on them.

Very fine model, David - a lot of work must have gone into this !

Nice photo collection, Pierre - but one mistake has occurred: # 19 is John Surtees in the 330 P 2 (1965 Le Mans) - see here:

From ebay Italy 2 Lancias from the 70's: 1/25 Mebetoys Lancia Beta Coupé (silver, first series 1973 - 75) and 1/25 Polistil Lancia (Beta) Montecarlo (green, first series 1975 - 78) - mostly complete, the Beta is missing its Giro d'Italia bicycle race equipment, but will be turned into a rally version, the Montecarlo is missing its wipers:

Absolutely fantastic model, Gary ! - my very first (and favorite) JoHan model kit.

Pierre, I was thinking in a similar way (I have this in my stash) and will possibly use the wheels from Academy/Minicraft's 250 LM (outlaced spokes at the front, correct wheel and tire size). The 1964 version had an elongated body (especially at the rear) and the windshield has a not-so-steep rake, IIRC. But Ferrari used this '63 body version also in 1964 - I can't await what you are doing with it - we certainly will see a marvellous model again.

The wheels are definitely too flat, but look at the other extreme : Monogram (ex-Aurora) DB 4 gluebomb (will be restored)

DMC decals of Denmark have a huge selection of Motorsport and sponsor decals - highly recommended ! Here is a link: https://www.dmc-decals.dk/41677918.html

Very nice, Janos - these Royales must be very impressive in reality - I happened to see one 15 years ago in Vienna at the "Chrome jewels" exhibition in the technical museum. I think it was on loan from the Mulhouse collection in France:

Exactly my thoughts, Pierre - I can fully dive into an object that ignites my passion (mainly sports and race cars from the 50's to the 70's) whereas finishing a model that does not really interest me can be a real pain (this is why it took me more than 20 years to finish that commission-built '48 Chevy). Running your imagination wild and then researching different variations of a car using various sources is also important and adds a lot to the fun of modeling.

Very nice !

Great save/resurrection of this splendid Group C racer, Justin - looks excellent !

I have sold off 26 of my 1/25 and 6 of my 1/24 kits in the last 2 weeks.

After carefully watching the pictures, a certain detail tops it off: those beautiful mesh screens on top of the intake trumpets - for me the icing on the cake!

Then there is hope for a reissue :-)

Very nice Rich - these are some of the best-looking F1 cars ever and you did them justice ! I would like to see your whole race car collection... I have the original Clark 49 (and Rindt's 49 C/ Monaco 1970 winner) in my stash, so at least I do not have to backdate a later version - I wonder when I will find time to get to them. Moreover, the original 49 should urgently be reissued by Ebbro!

Makes a huge difference, Tim - I was tempted to buy this model some years ago, but it was offered as Franklin Mint (?)

Much better than the original spoke wheels, Tim !

Congratulations for building this one - I had the kit and sold it off again.

Nice looking power beetle.

This is going to be one fantastic old truck. Can't wait to see the result.

You did it again, Pierre ! Excellent model which puts mine to shame (needs a heavy rework). Superb paint and decal work - as always - and perfect wheels and tires !

Released in the Hachette 1/24 newsstand series "Coches Inolvidables" in Spain: the little sporty hatchback with the black rubber bumper nose: 1977 SEAT 1200 Sport "Bocanegra"

Well done, Mario - it captures the spirit well, and the paint looks close enough for me.
