My latest addition to the 1/24 Hachette WRC Collection: Timo Mäkinen's 1974 RAC rally winning Ford Escort RS 1600:

x 2: I generally think the Fujimi is more true to the original: the body shape of this Meng Mk II doesn't convince me - roof and back look too rounded, a-pillars too wide, windows miss the sharp edges and the wheels look too small. Best of both worlds would probably be to combine the Fujimi Mk II with the drivetrain of the Meng kit

Great looking model, Gary - I had no idea that you built this one, too...

Thanks, Trevor - you definitely won't see this kit built very often.

A big thank you goes to Gary (Gramps 46) who provide me with hubcaps which were used in almost all races on the front wheels - Thanks a lot, Gary !

x 2!

Thanks for the compliment, Cliff !

Thank you, Cliff ! Thank you, Sam - it needs a bit of more patience than modern kits.

Thanks, Cliff .

Outstanding work from you, Marco - and of course, your trademark photography: just perfect! But the body shape of this Meng Mk II doesn't convince me - roof and back look too rounded, a-pillars too wide, windows miss the sharp edges and the wheels look too small. Best of both worlds would probably be to combine the Fujimi Mk II with the drivetrain of the Meng kit

Very cool build of this awesome racer, Josh - the opened side windows are a nice touch!

Exactly, and the works P4 had new cylinder heads with 3 valves instead of 2 - this and the higher compression + fuel injection brought additional 30 hp for the 1967 season.

Thanks you, Gary - I think I will take your route some day.

F A N T A S T I C, Chang! A 300 SL in this rare factory color - it could easily been mistaken for the real thing (poster or calender photos!) - Photo # 6 with your fingers make it clear. I think I will my kit paint in the same color (not the ever-present silver !) Outstanding photos as usual from you - simply great !

Very sharp model, Gary - you gave me some idea with replacing/reworking the rear panel ( I have the ARII release of this one, and it is that primitive tht I wanted to get rid of it)

Thank you, Chris ! Thanks, David! Thanks, Larry !

Excellent model, David - I wish there was an affordable kit of this - the wheels are from the Gunze kit, I suppose.

Thanks, Alan! Merci, Philippe ! Thanks, Chris ! Thanks, Larry. Thank you, Bob - it was a little different to my mostly stock builds. Thanks, Carl. Thanks, Hector, I still do some brush painting on chrome details. Cheers, Gareth!

Thank you Gareth - all I needed is some patience and super glue.... Thank you, Michal - just try it, it is not that hard to build.

Very nice build of one of the alltime-classic Ferraris, Thomas. These racey, aggressive lines came out perfect!

Unusual color (for a 250 GTO) in high-gloss showroom quality with perfect photos, Anders - as we are used from you.

Thanks, Gareth !

Great looking Jag, Rich - especially the fine detailing and poseable front wheels.

superb, very clean build and excellent photos, John - seeing this one, I almost regret selling mine.

Nice detail and weathering …..Outstanding build, Jürgen - you seem to prefer Internationals....
