Let me see what I can dig up on the cars.

Impressive work.

I have a few of the Tamiya kits if you would like to work out a trade.

Started modifying the interior panels and fitting the dash for the Abarth.

Good looking projects, wheels are a nice improvement.

Congratulations on your retirement. Hope to see you a MAMA meeting soon.

Great work Steve.

Couldn't resist having a go at the Abarth.

Mockup looks good.

Looking good.

Not sure, it was a gift. It's old as I understand it so I assume it is the ScaleKraft.

Haven't decided yet Maxx.

I have a resin kit of a Porsche 356 GTL Abarth. The kit provides the body, side window frames, seats, dash and door handles. I have started trying to build it. I was fortunate to find windshield glass (from a Fujimi Porsche 911 Speedster) that fits well enough after modification. And I have modified a Porsche 356B chassis pan which is what the 1:1 was based on.

Thanks Greg, hope this project helps your build.

The nose on the original post is exceptional long. I believe this is more representative of most of the cars produced. There was variations, note the rear quarter window shape in this photo.

I have a kit such that it is, the above appears to be the same as what I have. I was hoping there was a better option available.

Welcome Martin. I am race car builders as well. I look forward to seeing some of your projects.

I like yellow on a Ferrari, nice work.

Hey Steve. No I have not had any reaction from the detailers, I have used black, brown and gray. Black being the most useful in my opinion.

Thanks Bill. I though about doing the hardlines for the oil coolers but decided against it.

Here are the Porsche Rudge wheels I mentioned awhile back. Cast by Historic Racing Miniatures.

I assume this is the same kit, can anyone confirm? https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/straightline-competition/amt-mach-won-mustan/

Thanks Pierre. I replaced the plastic shaft of the kit shifter with with a piece of wire.

Very nice.
