Your trailers (as do your trucks) always look like the real ones, KJ - and not like models! Impressive ! -

Thank you, Ray ! Thank you, Benton ! Thank you, Lee ! Thank you, Bob - I saw one decades ago at a US car meeting. Thank you, Glen ! Thank you, Chris ! Thank you, Bob - though it is very crude, surprisingly it works! Thank you, John - I too was skeptical during building if it would work, but it does! Thank you, Gerald ! -
Not included in the above pics is the Renaissance '67 Mark IV Le Mans winner resin kit and Mini Exotics' 1967 Mirage Mk I resin transkit...

one thing is for sure: you can't have enough GT 40 kits... some builts: a few unbuilts: and even some die-casts (in the right scale):

Very nice model, Rich - what a sleek machine compared to those ugly racers of today (hard to believe that this is almost 40 years old...) -
1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner Rectractable Hardtop
1959scudetto replied to 1959scudetto's topic in Model Cars
Thank you, Anders - I don't want to bore anyone with my old builts, but I have hardly time for building at present... -
Here is another of my old builts: dates from 1988/89 - built from the 1988 "Skip's Fiesta" issue (probably because of the Olds Fiesta hubcaps ?) - therefore it could not be built strictly stock (wheels look like 1/24 - diameter a bit too large for my taste, stance also too high). The kit dates back to 1959, and it shows: multipliece body which needs careful and exact positioning and test-fitting of the body parts before gluing, then some filling and sanding before painting. Spray-painted from the can, trim is silver paint, rear lights transparent red (on chrome), license plates once again from the 1961 auto world sheet. The crude mechanism ("Fred Flintstone type") of the folding top gave me something to think about, but the problems could be solved with the help of cyanacrylat super-glue: to my surprise, it works quite well (needs careful handling, though), but leaves a noticeable gap in the roof. The photos are from 2005, but I still have this one in my collection. Pic of the kit (from ebay.com): Now the model - don't ask me about the name of the color (automotive lacquers from Duplicolor or Auto-K) - I cannot remember anymore...

Looks good, Ken - have these white wall tires ever be used on a working truck or just for shows? In my trucking books are some advertisements with such tires, and Tyrone Malone's KW pulling Irvy the whale had some also. -
Looks good, Carl - this is the Revell kit - where are the wheels from?
-
Well done, Clive -it must have been a lot of work to lturn this kit into a replica that nice.

Thank you, Anders ! Thanks, Bob - if built today, I would make the dark green version from Eastwood's movie.

Thank you, Anders! Thanks, James - the Bel Air in the background is the old (original) amt kit.
