And let us know which 904 kit you believe has the most accurate lines - there are visible differences between the Aurora kit and the Monogram …

Gramps - Looks like The Cunningham team did the mods To the tail after the ‘64 race - a check of the pix on the Rev’s on line research site should confirm - but let me know if you aren’t certain ….

Dan - you haven't asked your wife yet, have you ?

the correct kit [sans the roof] available at Model Roundup for break the bank dollars [note - their prices are generally in line w prevailing market ...]]] I'm bidding on ebay for an open kit that has been used and abused but multiple bidders and I'll probably get clobbered ...

https://vintagemotorsport.com/2022/09/01/vintage-motorsports-2022-sept-oct-issue-is-now-available/ running to Barnes and Nobles Friday I think I found the mysterious Pontiac GTO that was entered but did not show up !! someone's gotta be all over this entry ...

And Adams - jim - would eventually enter his own teams - for I think - years ..

Pierre - the #3 GS - looking at your pictures - must have also raced in Nassau earlier that year ... really really really good - and challenging - build tread is now off to a flying start ...

Misha - Didn't notice that this is one of Frank Morrill's Sebring drives ... think he also drove the famous Jag XKE light weight in the '62 Sebring that is really cool ... and the kit hard top looks perfect ...

you can nick name him - midget - but he will grow ....

wait - you're gonna name your son - Kurtis - right ???

just in case you were wondering - this is at least as good as the old Entex 72 - and probably a little better ... trust me - I know ... and I very much prefer the cigarette maker livery - which is weird because I am devoutly anti-tobacco ...

Except its not Friday yet sigh …

Its Austin Healey friday. The number 33 entry can be built from the vintage but most excellent Revell kit - although you will have to make the hard top …. A most important feature - as this car ended its race on its roof … this kit - Revell was quite good at this - has excellent engine compartment detail ….

Yes as corrected

RC : have a look at Randy’s website - he sells some great 3D printed Ford racing engines - most are 24th scale - but about 2 years ago i convinced - or Randy convinced - the producer - he’s German I think - to make some 25th scale engines - it would still be a tight fit - but an interesting experiment … Oh Randy …

Well - there were 3 Grand Sports entered - so Forum members can take a shot at the other 2 - and anyway - you tackled and clobbered a very tough kit build - so the answer is yes - your number 3 is our first completed build - but please throw some finished shots into the thread - and find another car in the field to do - anything you pick will be easier than that GS - were you eyeing one of the Cobras ?

So this is getting difficult … may have to request a Special Master …

RC: very nice build you WILL like the Gunze Lotus Elan kit - but take the trouble to work out that unusual roof ... as for the Cobras - who doesn't need another Cobra model ?? ten were entered in this race - and only two are spoken for - once you are done with the Lotus - choose to build one of the entries not yet taken / started ... you've got 17 months ... Hurry !

Keystone-models.com an on line seller fr Japan that I've purchased stuff from - has a few older MFH kits that may still be in his stock and one of those is the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ - Sebring 64 entries were numbers 53 and 55 no asking anyone to break their hobby budget for the sake of this thread ... just sayin ...

Rats - Alot of Cobra builds will focus on cars that competed in their championship season - when you are done with your current project - consider using that left over paint for a curbside build of one of the ‘64 Sebring Cobras …

The Lotus Elite entry is straight forward - i think the kit is still available - a its a real nice curbside - no mods for the Sebring car except different wheels and tires …. Takers?

Gunze’s Elan kit is one of their best - i think it is better than their XKE kit and way better than their GTO kit … will make a nice Sebring Elan - but the intrepid builder will need to make that Kamm-back style roof - ive found one color photo - car looks like it was painted a sort of metalic - minty - green … a worthy build - who’s in ?

The white Iso Grifo Bizzarrini is gonna be a tough one … ProfiL 24 made one but its not in their current catalog … neat looking chevy powered sports car …

that's almost IT - just a few details off - is this one of your builds, or a diecast - and is it 24th or 18th??? I'm looking at the tires and thinking it's a diecast ...
