Geno, You might want to check out the NAPA catalog and copy a picture of the fan then reduce it in size and mount the picture within an outer ring and a back. Might be worth a try.

Excellent build and paint. Thanks for sharing.

Super nice build and photos. Thanks for sharing.

Impressive work and in 2 months, amazing.

Now that is interesting. Thanks for sharing Rex.

Great score on a great model, but then you knew that already!

Beautiful conversion.

Smoke is really well done. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Jeff these are looking really good. Welcome to join thoe of us who have come to the same conclusion you have. Good hunting.

This is a big block 1965 Corvette I have been chasing for a while. I first saw it on Irish eBay but it had been sold. Then I saw it advertised by an antique shop in New England and ordered it only to have my payment refunded because they did not have it in stock. Finally I found this Crown Premium 1/24 Limited Edition diecast in Canada and it compares favorably with the Danbury Mint release but at a fourth of the price ($38). The working features are pretty impressiive including the working drive shaft, headlamps open, steering wheel turns with the front wheels, seat backs tilt forward, top lid opens, gas cap opens, working suspension, and working antenna. The down sides for me is the advertising (NAPA, Heat Craft, Conoco) tampo printed on the doors but it was easily removed with non-acetone finger nail polish remover. Other issues are the Fuel Injection badges when they should be a big block 396, the location of the driver side rear view mirror is too low on the door and the inner tail lights should be clear. Over all I think it is good value for the money.

Thanks for sharing your photos and the link. I dread the day I will have to move and make decisions about my collections.

Amazing. Hard to tell where reality starts. Your web site and models are impressive too.

The Umi 166MM was far ahead of anything else at the time. I waited in line to get one. Thanks for posting Pico.

Now that is my kind of Rite Aid Snake. I can't figure out why some are a total waste land and some are a gold mine.

Beautifully done.

Marvelous finds. Especially like the Dauphine. I have one side of the trailer but you would have to convert it to the side you are missing. Send me a PM if interested.

Yes to the tail lights but where are the cup holders?

Great looking combo.

Good project Ismael. I must say though that door gaps on most modern diecasts have come a long way since the old Italian made BBuragos and even some of the Mint cars. I will be following this one for sure. Gary

Very impressive build. Your carpet is super.

Looks like you have all the right ingredients there. Good start.

Very nice Geno. I am impressed with all the Icons I have seen.

Super nice build.

You nailed it Randy, very well done.
