What a shame it never got into production, it's such a refreshing step away from all the Gilberns that were produced. Thanks for increasing my knowledge.

It's a beautiful looking machine though!

It's not what I first thought it might be but is very close, there must be some connection but I guess I'll have to wait for the answer!

Makes sense, Bill. Those were the days!

I only got one but this was a great quiz! Never imagined Oldsmobile would come up with such an awkward taillight design!

Looks good, Russell. I presume it's got a Hemi! PM sent, thanks Michael.?

The makers planned a Mark 2 version with more power and 100 mph top speed. Thankfully, they never built it!?

I bet the driver doesn't have a girlfriend - and probably not many friends either!? PM sent

I enjoyed this quiz and was on the right lines but ran out of time...

Interesting! PM sent.

Excellent! If this is a 'fun' build, what are your 'serious' builds like? ?

Hi Michelle I guess we're all different. I can overlook the cheesiness and see it as a 1960s idea of the future - and I love the idea that there are crew members out of shot opening and closing the 'automatic' doors. It's the ideas and stories that I like - also I grew up watching the originals first time around so to me the newer series is just not the same! Each to his or her own?

Nice! The first is still the best, with James T Kirk in command! They show the originals every weekday here in the UK.

I too thought it was a Pininfarina design but then got the idea it was a Michelotti styled car. Either way I never got close to what or when. Interesting!

Thanks Michael - but I had worked that bit out! It looks familiar but I haven't got it yet.? Cheers, -Don.

Yes = there's a good reason for this, relating to a famous tea party they had in Boston...?

Great modelling. I was watching a documentary recently about the supersonic airliner 'race' - with the Russian 'Concordski', Concord(e) and the SST and learned the SST swing wing design was canned due to the excessive weight of the wing mechanism. Shame.

Aaargh! This one was familiar to me but I just couldn't quite place it. Thanks for the fun I had trying. Cheers, -Don.

Interesting that this one has the rare additional seat option attached to the rear bumper.

Much harder for me anyway! ?

Agreed, nice and easy!

Absolutely stunning modelling, Francois, Your choice to include the two cooling fans is interesting as these were not original fitments and look to me like a much more modern modification. They are beautifully done and the model will replicate your chosen subject as it is now, nothing wrong with that! I love your choice of black as the colour. Well done! -Don.

? Pity about the 'tasteful' modifications ?

Well you live and learn! Thanks Michael

Indeed they were big. My dad (who flew Spitfires in WW2) always said the emergency drill in the P-47 was to undo the seat harness and run around the cockpit. He and the other pilots in his squadron used to refer to the P-47 as 'seven tons of screaming sh*t'. Nonetheless these 'planes and their pilots did an exceptional job and this model is a great tribute.✌️
