Me Too! I've ordered a set of 16". We'll see how they actually measure up, size wise, quality, and time to deliver to California. Helmut, they look GREAT in your photo and on ebay. Thanks! -TIM-

He's Alive!!!! ? ? ?

Love these, Roger- Awesome!

Dave, that's very much a winning combination! Beautiful.....Love the service station backdrop too. The whole package is very nostalgic. Puts a big grin on your face.

Gary, your replica looks great!! Very authentic. So, you used a 1/25 Revell OTS + Lindbergh D-Type sourced Dunlop wheels and tires. I've decided to give it a go as well. I'm using the Heller 1/24 OTS + Jay's Resin Dunlop wheels and Tamiya Dunlop tires from the Morgan kit. I'll be adapting the Revell 1/25th hardtop to the Heller 1/24 body. I've ordered up the stripes and numbers from Le Mans Decals, going with the survivor of the bunch, #14.

Thank you, Guys! You made my day. ?

We are in your debt, Helmut. ? Thank you! It's the next best thing to visiting the museum in person.

Keyser, that 6C 2500 is magnificent!! Great photos. Thanks for sharing. Here are a few more.......just for fun.

Helmut, the Alfa you photographed can be seen here as well: https://www.historicautopro.com/1938-alfa-romeo-6c-2300-b Chassis no. 815035 Engine no. 823956 Coachbuilder: Carrozzeria Touring Categories: L- Limited edition cars (no. 107 manufactured) Owner: Famiglia Bonfanti

Helmut, regarding the Atlantic, thank you so much for sharing your photos. I have wondered about that red car. I've only seen one picture of it before. Not certain whether or not it's #57591, the car currently painted black for Ralph Lauren. It's very similar, but I do see differences. The lights and registration numbers on the tail are slightly different, with fewer rivets on the red car. It's got a side mounted mirror and driving lights up front. I've got quite a few photos of #57591 and none include those details. I tend to think this beautiful red car may be a recreation, not one of the originals.

I'm thinking this may actually be a 6C 2300B; very similar to this one, #815025.

Ditto! The model is great, really well detailed, but the photography- my gosh! So good. I think Mike could make anything look great. ? He could shoot a glue bomb and we'd be like, "Hey, how did he make that full size car look so much like a junk model?" Well done, Mike!!

For the other two Berlinettas in my collection, I want to rework one to represent #412020 and the other to be #412024. I've come up with some good wheels and tires to match. Hopefully I'll be tackling them this year.

The Leo Berlinetta is of course the awesome #412029 from the Museo Storico, as you said. Each of the cars is unique. That one is the only one with an opening roll top. Jurgen (Plastheniker) did a really nice rework of his model to better depict the full size car, but I think the Leo/Hachette model is pretty darn nice, right out of the box. That said, I plan to rework one of mine with Fernando Pinto wheels and detailing the engine and interior.

Helmut ? I agree with you 100%, these "Two-Nines" as some people call them, are SO beautiful. And, I'm 100% green with envy that you got to see one up close and in person. ?. I would be the guy to whom they'd have to say, "Excuse me sir, the exhibition is closing for the day...you'll have to leave now....you can come back tomorrow....." I could just stare at it for hours. The Franklin Mint examples are really nice. Great photos you've taken! I have two of the Spyders in my collection, and three of the Leo Models Berlinettas. I think the Mint Spyder most closely resembles #412041, which is currently painted black with a blue interior.

Awesome! Love it. Orange and black is easy to mess up, but you made it look great!

Helmut, nice photos! Thanks for sharing. caapa, "Lungo" refers to long wheelbase. There were also "Corto" short wheelbase versions of the 8C 2900B's.

Beautiful work, Jon!! ? The Revell wheels and tires made a huge difference in the appearance. I love the carb and brake linkage and the subtle weathering on the grille and underneath. Many thoughtful details that make for a very convincing replica. The working features are top notch. The details inside the trunk....Great job!!

I've never seen this one before. Nice!! Thanks for posting. -TIM-

Great job, Bruce! I've picked up a couple of these recently. I notice you got the wheels and tires fitting together nicely. Some examples I've seen, even one version of the box art, has the wheels popping out from the tires and really detracting from the looks. Yours look just right! ? What brand/color paint did you use on the interior?

Crossfire, very nice! Well done. Are those AMT '41 Plymouth wheels? They're a natural.

Helmut, I love what you did with this Ferrari! Do you know off hand, the wheels that you used, are they the same as the ones Fujimi markets individually as 17" wheels? Looks like there are three different varieties; series no. 13, 14, and 101.

You nailed it, Phil! That is BEAUTIFUL ?

Very nice, Helmut. Clean work, great photography. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, thanks Gary. I'll hit him up.
