1959scudetto

A really beatiful model - looks like from a ATHS truck show/meeting.

Awsome couple, Brian - the longsleeper 352 looks just excellent! The poor neglected dumper is the ideal object for towing here. Very nice!

Dave, I found a small video clip from a 1969 Italian movie featuring the Alfa 33 stradale (prototipo!) - beautiful sight and incredible sound !

Another winner from your bench, Rich - I always liked the Martini livery. Many, many details here to watch.

Very well done Gerald, I intend to do something similar with a Tamiya 1/24 Ferrari 275 P 2 slot body using a 250 LM for poarts.

Must have been in 1969 (in Nov. 1968 we moved from a village in the Tyrolean Alps to a small town south of Vienna, which had two toy/hobby shops!) - my new schoolmates brought me to styrene models, mainly Airfix plastic bag kits: 1/72 WW2 planes, sailing ships and 1/32 car kits which I can remember some - glued together with tube glue, partially painted with Humbrol enamels, and bought another one when pocket money allowed it (NO stash back then!). I found some pics on the internet: This is where it started....

Mine too - it was my first resin kit I ever built (more than 30 years ago as a commission for a modeling shop in Vienna) - now I have one for myself !

Not today, but last week: 1969 Ferrari 312 P Spyder from Dragon Model and Pattern (= Paul Fisher):

Small Update: Now with paint from the can : rim silver (car laquer) and Tamiya rubber black for the tires (compared with the Gunze TCR 1000 wheel): A mock-up with a Hachette Die-cast Fiat 850 Coupé:

Jason / Jack modelling makes 5-spoke wheels for 365 GTB Daytona stock and racing versions: stock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186190606331?itmmeta=01JWZZH1HNWHD0TMCYQE76V6F0&hash=item2b59d32ffb:g:GZIAAOSwz2Nlalkb racing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186190604641?itmmeta=01JWZZH1HNKF4AM9935BCZK8W2&hash=item2b59d32961:g:bikAAOSwF8Flaliw

You are right, guys. Jason always delivers !

How could I have missed this? A typical Eastern truck from a long gone era - exceptional !

Excellent work, Matt - I neither have the patience nor the ability for making wire wheels like you do here - brings the whole kit to a new level!

Outstanding model, Ismael ! You really did this vintage racer justice in every detail.

Excellent execution and a very nice tribute to your father, Jeff !

Once again you created a marvellous model of a legendary racecar, Dave ! Thanks for showing us all these gems !

Very nice !

Donald, this is an outstanding build - period-correct colors, excellent overall execution (not to mention the lighting!)

Very cool rod !

Excellent truck - this one could easily be mistaken for the real thing !

He almost always posted ultraclean cars with high-gloss finishes in the Model cars/Under glass section. His last visit to the forum was on December 7, 2024.

Wow, Rich - excellent model with so many additional pthotoetch detail parts ! This was the ultimate Group B car - Lancia took it to the extreme with 4WD, supercharger AND turbocharger.

Chris, these wheels are not sized specifically - you may order them with the dimensions that suit your needs: you must determine the diameter of the wheels, the width and the offset (if you want to have wider, deep-dish rear wheels). Jason will print them exactly to your wishes. By the way, you are right concerning the Gunze Abarth 1000 TCR: I have only one of these (paid too much for it, and was very disappointed when I got it finally: seats and steering wheel bone stock, no roll cage, front fender flares wrong, wheels toylike)

Very nice looking Alfa, Larry ! I remember this one building as a 11 year old around 1970 - a brush-painted glue-bomb (was in clear plastic bag back then - no box). You show what can be done with a bit of TLC with these old kits.

Received today some Campagnolo Abarth wheels I ordered from Jack modeling. Jason custom-made them for me and they look perfect ! Just the right rims for my B.R.M. and Gunze Sangyo Abarth 1000 TCRs and the Nakamura 1969 Abarth 2000 Pininfarina prototipo: . First a pic of the original wheels: Here are Jason's 3D printed wheels: Very crisp and highly detailed (as always) - I recommend them to all fans of Italian sports cars ! If interested, please contact Jason via e-mail: contact.jackmodelling@gmail.com I'm sure he will include them in his range as he did with the Alfa Romeo 1900 and the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 (412 P) wheels I ordered from him. if there is enough interest.
