1959scudetto

Thank you, Bill - you have a nice collection here - are there also some Cudas in between?

Thank you, Frank! Thanks, David - everything shows some signs of decay after some decades... Merci, Philippe ! Thanks, Craig ! Thank you. Larry!

Here is my contribution to the Challenger theme - one of the best looking muscle/ponycar in my opinion: Both are quick out-of-the-box builds without further detailing: amt's 1970 Challenger R/T Convertible was built from the '79 Matchbox/amt release - molded in yellow, it got only a clearcoat. mpc's 1974 Challenger Coupé was an annual kit I got from a pen-pal from Indiana in 1986. Impressed by the movie "Vanishing point", I sprayed it in white with a clearcoat and added the custom front spoiler - otherwise it is box-stock. Built in 1988, the following 2 photos are from 2008: Last winter, I sold both of them - whereas the Convertible was in a rather good condition, time has not been very kind to the mpc '74 annual: the clear coat showed very visible signs of yellowing - much more than in 2008, and the vinyl tires were eating up the wheels which were melting and showed kind of bubbles around the circumference - I cut these off as good as I could, but obviously those tire/wheel combos were not meant to survive more than 45 years... Here are some more pics (this time from Dec. 2020):

Spectacular model, John - I won't have the patience for all these decals !

Exceptionally well built model, Ken - for me, this is the best looking front engine rail dragster ever.

While there is no doubt about Anders masterful build of this car, Revell made a mistake with the wheels: my impression is that the outer diameter maybe right, but the inner (spoke wheel) diameter is too large and therefore the black sidewalls of the tires are a bit too low for the period (a few years ago I saw in a magazine pictures of the restored E-Type coupe of Jochen Rindt which sported the same non-period-correct low-profile tires).

Especially the Lotus Cortina (Jim Clark or Alan Mann/John Whitmore) would be great, or an Aston Martin DB5/DB6/DBS - what about an Abarth 1000 TCR (it was available from Tamiya as an R/C car) - the Gunze version leaves a lot to be desired!

Superb KW Coe, KJ - your builds are perfect !

I can't await the final result, KJ - the Thermo King unit is a model in itself !!!

Very nice KW - good looking color combination!

Great looking build of one of the best looking prototypes ever, Thomas !

x 2 !!!

A classic "Steven Guthmiller Classic" - awesome model Steve - as always !

Very impressive build of this group B monster, Dale !

Very nice model of the 250 GTO, Bill - could you show us more photos?

Well, as I understood it, Lee's question was for the availability of Opel models from 1968/69...

You did it again, Anders - supernice !

Pictures are from the modelissimo-website: https://www.modelissimo.eu/

as 1/24 diecast models are the following available at the moment: 1. 1967 Opel Rekord 1900 (this body type was in production from 1966 up to 1972) = grey model 2. 1969 Opel Admiral B (from 1969 to 1977) = white model 3. 1970 Opel Kadett B rally (from 1968 to 1972) = yellow model

Some more Opels on the modelissimo website, Luc !

When Fred finally wanted to drive away with Wilma, he came to the conclusion that it would have been better to keep his old flintmobile (or at least buy a larger limousine)... (1961 Renault 4 L from the 1/24 Quattroruote collection)

Thank you, Bill ! Thank you, Scott - It was the first movie I ever saw in a cinema .

Good looking International, Dan - and nice addition to your already impressive fleet !

Superb looking model of the greatest japanese sportscar !

Thanks, Gary !
