    What the others said, Ray - you did a very fine job in building this kit that obviously has its issues. The yellow Whitmore/Gardner entry had a very attractive livery and it looks very much like the real thing. Remember, race cars back in the 60's were not at all perfect so don't worry about fitting problems and some other issues that only you know - it might even add to reality.

    Excellent execution, als always, Dave. The cooler in the nose is the oil-cooling device.

    Interesting conversion, Ray - that's what our British friends would call "Shooting Brake" (cross-over cars combining sportscar and Station wagon like David Brown's personal DB5 or the Jaguar E from the movie "Harold and Maude")

    Good looking Petes - especially the outdoor shot of the blue/white rig.
  5. 1959scudetto
    Why am I not at all surprised ? :-)

    Very well done, Bruce - looks great! What were the main obstacles in building this one? I have the very same in my stash and want to turn it into Nuvolari's 1930(?) Mille Miglia winner (got decals from tom Tanner).

    Very nice, Joe - the covered wheel wells were supposed to bring aerodynamic advantages on the long Le Mans straights.

    It is my personal favorite from the "classic" 911s.

    Another iconic Porsche for the aficionados: the legendary 911 turbo, this time a cheap diecast made by Welly in various colors: Here is mine from the Porsche Museum Collection - well executed, with good proportions. With a little Snake-Fu you can certainly dress this one up - I only added period-correct Austrian licence plates, everything else remained yet untouched.

    David, as far as I know, at least 5 different models have been made (some in 2 or more different colors): the iconic Toyota 2000 GT (ca. 1967), the Nissan (240) Fairlady ZL (ca. 1971), the 1990 Honda NSX, the 1994 Nissan Skyline R34 and the - only non-Japanese car - Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2,7.

    Here is a highly detailed Ebbro die-cast.

    Thank you all for the nice comments on this hastily built old kit !
  13. 1959scudetto
    x 2: perfect harmony between cab and rear wheels, frame and body striping. The trailer looks also much better with 2 than 3 axles (will convert mine someday also from 3 to 2).

    Exceptionally well done model of the best-looking Lancer Evo of Tommy Mäkinen's 4 world championship rides.

    I guess MPW is for Mulliner Park Ward ?
  16. 1959scudetto
    IIRC, I paid around € 40 for it (without original box or certificate - I don't care about the paperwork - but with a bent antenna, a small paint chip and some damage on the trunk mat/above the spre wheel) Helmut

    Thanks, Tim and Gary - the dark red/brown and gold color suits it well, too. Zinc pest is awful - I experienced that with some (forutunately cheap) die-casts that literally fell apart.
  18. 1959scudetto
    Very nice collection of T1 and T2a (Welly?) vans and buses, Gary.
  19. 1959scudetto
    Excellent model - too nice to be used in races.
  20. 1959scudetto
    That is indeed a survivor, Gary, with a certain amount of patina - old VWs offered technical simplicity combined with reliability.
  21. 1959scudetto
    If I ever would win the lottery, this one would be my choice (Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV): pictures from original Alfa Romeo advertising/press phtos: or this one (1969/70 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 junior):
  22. 1959scudetto
    Good looking Mopar, Tony - it has that classic 70's street machine look.
  23. 1959scudetto
    The same here - Yuri this is a fantastic model that looks as real as it gets!
  24. 1959scudetto
    Thanks, Keyser - I've just corrected the title (name was taken over from the Car Model homepage)
  25. 1959scudetto
    Now something unusual (at least for me) but when the opportunity was there, I had to take it (for little money, because of some small issues) - I think it is one of the best detailed Franklin mint models: very big and heavy, highly detailed, but take a look at the photos! Weakest point is the gap around the doors - but hey! 4 opening doors!
