It's a nicely detailed model, looks great.

Nice build, Jim Clark probably the greatest F-1 driver in that era, possibly ever.

Well detailed clean build. Very nice !

Looks good, I had the same model when I was a kid. You don't see many models of this car built up so thanks for posting.

Very realistic, like the posed wheels, it adds a lot to the look. Nice work !

Great job on the latest issue. Good articles, nicely done by everyone involved. The cover was a knockout.

Interesting build, a lot of work went into completing this model, nice job.

Very realistic, nice photography too !

Nice ! Liked all the attention to detail in this model, well thought out.

Nice work on the frame. The car came out well, nice skills.

That represents a lot of time & effort, it came out really well, congratulations.

I like it, good job.

Thanks to all who replied and for the positive comments about the model. I will try to answer the questions that were asked. I wish the model was in one of the old publications but no it wasn't. I'm not on facebook so it wont be on that site. Someone did make decals for this car but it was years ago and I can't remember who it was. I have a lot of my early builds they are in sad states of repair having been moved around in the past years ,this one survived the best and only required a through cleaning and replacing a couple of parts. I will try and make some of the other survivors I have presentable and post them in the future.

Great looking car and a slot car too !

Nice, reminds me of cars I saw growing up in the North East, good work on the model.

Outstanding "T", engine detailing is very realistic, overall great build .congratulations on using the Cal Custom Scoops on a worthy subject.

Beautiful build on the red hot phaeton Misha, I can see a lot of thought and patience went into the model, you should be very proud of it.

To the moderators, sorry I posted this in WIP Drag race forum, meant to put in the drag race forum, could it be moved there ? Thanks.

This is a car I built in 1965 when I was a youngster. I thought it was a great looking car with the large cartoon. I had read an article in the old Rod & Custom Models magazine about doing your own lettering with a brush so I had lettered a few models before this one. At that time if you wanted to replicate a current race car that was your only option as aftermarket decals wouldn't come around for decades. This was a craftsman kit, requiring cutting open the hood, adding an engine, rear end and height adjustment. The model survived in pretty good shape, requiring some minor repairs and part replacements. Also a good cleaning. So here it is with all the modeling technology from 1965.

What a nice model ! I remember many '57's this color, my Dad owned one. Nice detailing.

They are all nicely completed, classics of classic box art. Great job on a nice theme.

Looks good.

Nice !

Nicely done & good photos

Attention to detail, sharp paint & decals, very nice build.
