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 ...

No takers yet for The #14 Cobra Roadster dr by Shlesser and Hill (Phil) ? this is a really nicely presented Roadster …

slotcar sent me an email query just to clarify - I'm encouraging builders to post their pix on this thread and not on a separate thread - this will eventually cause chaos and mass confusion if enough forum members participate kind of like trying to hold a 12 hour sports car race on a converted WWII airfield with concrete runways not not not designed for sports car races ... ... and won't that be fun ...

"Looks like a good excuse to build a Ferrari 250 GTO. Chassis# 3223GT entry #82 in the field. Larry Perkins owner/driver." Randy : have a look at Pete Lyons' site - 82 practiced w/out those weird stripes over the right rear fender - you DO have my permission [encouragement] to build 82 sans stripes ... just sayin ...

10 ounces without engine trans castings holy cow …

So both early series GTOs are spoken for - but we’ve got issues sourcing ‘64 GTO bodies right ? let mE think about that - assuming I’d have takers for those entries if the bodies were available - right ?

By the way - who is gonna claim that cute Lotus Elan sitting next to the #82 GTO on the tarmac …. ??? Gunze made a killer kit - and it is still gettable in Ebayland …. Just make sure that you get the version with the roof …

Alrighty then - Mr. Ditton of Colorado has stepped thu the door - and the door has slammed shut behind him …. #82 is yours - odd fender stripes and all - I like the Fujimi body - but the Protar had opening doors - spose you could fashion a couple of brass door skins for the Fujimi - and I think you could source some 3D printed wheels - and Norman’s engine kits hold a place of honor above my workbench …. Opologies - you can probably build 82 without my input ….

How heavy is the chassis ?

Maybe I should drop an email to Paul to get this clarified - he’s not hiding - he’s just not producing or casting …. You are correct - Paul produced HIS first kits as “Dragon”. But I’m pretty sure that MQ never casted …. Then again - i live in Fl and he lived in Ca … I actually did meet him once many moons ago …. He had a wall of unbuilt resin kits in the garage behind his home that you wouldn’t believe … oh wait …

On a previous page i posted couple of shots of Paul Fisher’s early Ferrari ‘64 GTO - here’s another one of Paul’s early castings -also now very rare- the GTO LMB …. Also in the ‘64 12 Hours … - this one is in better resin than the GTO - but it has a little bit of roof sag - will require correction of one of the windshield pillars - but not a disaster - another rare subject - but did MFH produce one ? I think so … I started work on the body years ago and then got distracted by a stray Maserati or something - the LMB entry is still up for grabs for this build - unless I’m the only human being on this forum who wants to make one - no rush - let me know …

Ace posted a picture of the kit box artwork for his chosen build - the #23 Ferrari P 275 - that kit is based on this ‘65 slot car blister pack … there are some options for the P cars - we can get into these later - I’m wondering if anybody has kitted or produced the 330P - which had a slightly larger engine - I think - and a different tail … ???

The body lines look good ? Unobtanium ??

So someone needs to tackle the #28 NART 250 LM. This was an early LM - it’s first major competition - an electronic fault caused it to barbecue itself out by the runway … the logical kit would be the curbside Academy kit - with maybe a 12 cyl engine added - that would be nice - and maybe some printed Borranis ? ?? Unless you’re stashing some MFH 250LM kits and you just don’t know what to do with them …

The Lindberg kits must be rare - were they 24th scale …. ??

And you added the left side fuel cap over the fender - well played …

Gramps - there’s a straight line there somewhere …. Great job on 2287 - and because you know your s**t - no spoiler - which kit did you base yours on ?

Go to the Tremblant vintage race next July - you’ll like !

Never occured to me - the smoke darkens the yellow just enough - right ?

Pretty sure that this is our factory #21 Ferrari P entrant - owned by the Chinetti family - i photographed it at the Simeone Collection in 2020 - can’t recall if it is on permanent display there …. Whose claiming it ?

Rats but I knew that you would know the answer …

C1 site?

Almost done- another bath in hot water to shape the roof and then lots of CA glue …. The tabs are removed by sanding sticks - the windshield is in for good - i’ll mask it when I paint - I’ve still got small gaps at the roof line - but I’ll hide these with some sort of windshield seal…
