  1. Great work, Ive just been watching the 1981 Daytona 500, though as i am sure you are aware Darrell Waltrip didnt finish that particular race. His car had been smoking from early on and started to leave sparks later in the race. Junior Johnston when questioned was unconcerned but Waltrip retired the car soon after. As a European (Irish) i have tended to view NASCAR as inferior to 'Road' type racing but but I was spell bound, Running at those speeds, at that proximity to other cars for that length of time, Impressive stuff. My youngest son is dating a girl from the States so hopefully I will get to a race live sometime soon (It looks serious).
  2. Great Work and nice period look unfortunately these kits are not easy to get hold off here in Ireland
  3. Colour blocks in on the chassis, maybe detail the shocks in Orange, the owner having gone for a Koni Upgrade?
  4. Oh Well, nothings perfect, you are lucky to have a real one to study, they would be a rare beast in this part of County Down ;-D
  5. Great work, im enjoyin the Bronco myself at the minute
  6. Occasional poster here, I mix cars with Aircraft and Armour. Chassis from Revellss Early Bronco detailed with a few bolt heads where it would seem appropriate. Liking the look of this 2016 Revell Production, good detail, reasonable parts fit and a great subject
  7. Looks great, This kit (COPO version) was my first American car build and I loved it.
  8. Appologies, I was working on (it would seem flawed) general knowledge Il remember to wiki next time. On the point of a model engine, im not sure that you will find a Ford Zephyr larger than 1/43, maybe try a modifying a straight six from a Mustang or Thunderbird?
  9. Superb, makes my chopped and channeled 32 Five Window seem very simple (and ive been filling and sanding that for what seems like weeks)
  10. Sorry to take you to task over this but the BMW engine was derived from the Bristol Unit, not the other way about. Nice work though, an interesting project. For the more budget conscious the Ace also came with a 2.6 Six Cylinder engine from the Ford (England) Zephyr
  11. Nice work, I do like a 'Nine Hundred Eleven' or Nyne Whan Whan as they say in this part of the world!
  12. NIce Work,ive just completed my 1st Muscle car build with the COPO version
  13. Nice Work I have this kit at the top of the pending pile (cars)
  14. Wow, what a build and what a machine!!!
  15. Very Nice, she (obviouly) has the look of the 2016 UK Mondeo, and is none the worse for it.
  16. Beautiful Work, love the unusual colour scheme.
