Very well done. Thanks for sharing with us.

I want to join the fun. Olde AJ getting a little sideways dirt track style. The red pipes are novel as is the Mercury label on the sills. Gramps

You are absolutely correct Maxx. Thanks for posting. Photo from eBay.

I did by chance find in my decal stash a Fred Cady decal for the Ford MKIV, a decent #3. Let me play around with that and a #7 and see if I can print those on some decal paper.

After a lot more searching especially on REVS I have come to the conclusion that the circular decal on the front fenders is a Bosch spark plug sticker. I found a Porsche Abarth in the same race with a similar sticker but more detail which leads me to the Bosch conclusion. Now if I can find that number font. Been trying MS Word but no luck yet.

These are pictures I was using that shows stickers on both sides of the Cunninham 904 during the race.

Thank you Misha and Phil for your inputs. The one thing I am missing is the identity of the round yellow decals on the side of the front fenders. Any ideas?

Cunningham 1964 Sebring Porsche 904 GTS #37 Well the time has come, and I have got to get going on this Porsche I promised. The question is which kit to use. And the answer will be based upon the following criteria. 1. 1/24 or 1/25 2. Parts count suitable for trembling phalanges. 3. Bench time available before the deadline. 4. Availability of suitable wheels and tires. The answer is the original Monogram 1/24 kit. I am going to move the build to its own WIP thread so as not to detract from the outstanding work above.

Really an excellent build. Thank you for posting it as it provides inspiration for the rest of us.

I have no doubt you will preserver and make it right.

Super build. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Really wise choices for the model and your lights and decals. Look forward to seeing your build.

Welcome aboard. You found the right place and your models are a perfect fit. UMi, Teapot Graphics and Fisher are loved here.

Sending PM. I have what you need.

I went through all the period photos of the Daytona interiors in both 1964 and 1965 and could not find even a hint of a seat belt.

Wow. Some really cool features incorporated. Thanks for sharing them with us.

The BBurago SWB is 1/24 and was made in China but I do not have a date on it. What bothers me are the side windows which seem to be too tall which makes the top look too thin. But bear in mind I have a degree in mechanical engineering before digital computers and lack a good sense of proportion and shape unless drawn with a T square and compass.?

I had planned to do something with this BBurago SWB but after watching yuz guys it is going back on the shelf.

Tim, Bondo can be your friend. The red #21 is an Italian made BBurago which I converted to a Drogo long nose using Bondo and with PE wheels, the LM winner. The yellow #28 is an Academy OOB with a Scaglietti nose.

Glad to see the Comstock version being modelled. Looking forward to seeing more of your build. You captured the unique grille opening spot on.

Outstanding!

I missed this thread back in the day. I was just about to ask for an assessment of the BBiurago SWB but you have already done that above. Well done all.

This is 2287 at the LM trials. And 2299 at the race. I hope they are useful and not too late.

DB4GT - do like Matt said: If you want a DB4GT, cut a chunk out of the middle of the cheapest Airfix/Doyusha DB5 you can find, and sand the sides a bit.
