    Beautiful builds Matt. Very impressive.

    It's been awhile since I checked in but I like the progress you have made.

    Chris, The photos and model are by Scott Kercher. Maybe I can get him to tell us more about how he built it and post a separate thread.

    Snake, I was flabbergasted to find the 64 in such great condition and with the correct wheels for $35. The top was sold by the same vendor in a separate package for $3. My lucky day.

    Went to the NNL Philly show yesterday and picked up an AMT 64 Corvette roadster. Complete and unpainted body.

    Thanks JC. How I wished Academy had done a long nose like the 1965 NART Le Mans winner. Back then I had to convert a BBurago 250LM diecast to the long nose using Bondo.

    Then there was also the Monogram Ferrari 275P kit P102 starting in 1964 and reissued at least twice. One of my favorites and still within our time frame.

    We use it too successfully except for the script that got lost in the mail for over 30 days and they would not send another till after 30 days.

    Unfortunately I do not know the source. I have been collecting pictures from books, magazines, and now the internet for many years. BTW, you should have the fan you were looking for in Monday's post.

    Very nicely done.

    No darn it, Revell only did it in 1/32nd for the GTO 64. I had to use a K&B body on a Protar GTO chassis for the 1/24 GTO64.

    Speaking of old Ferrari kits here is a Turbolences Turbo Le Car resin Ferrari 1958 Testa Rossa Le Mans winner. Not as nice as Renaissance or other later issues but it did have an engine. And lest we forget, the Revell GTO slot car body.

    It is my understanding the small scoop is the 1964 4 Cylinder 904 GTS or the 1964 factory 8 cylinder. The large scoop is the 1965 6 cylinder or the flatter large scoop the 8 cylinder. The 8 cylinder cars had an open flat fan on the rear deck.

    Thanks Jim for the photo and background on this worthy model.

    Thank you Kurt for your input. I do not have the AirTrax 330GTC nor the MFH Lusso as they came later after my notes above. I have seen photos of the Shapeways Barchetta but not the Berlinetta though I do have the MG Model 166 Berlinetta. One of the rarities is the ACME 330 LMB which I was fortunate to get back in the day. I fully support your assessment of Norm's V-12, and Brads too. ACME 330 LMB Replica and Miniatures of Maryland V12 SWB build by William Depooter. MG Models 166 Berlinetta and UMI 166 Barchetta UMI 166 Barchetta kit

    Very convincing colors and textures.

    OK Brian, I will stick it in the mail in the morning. Glad I could help and thanks to JC for showing the 935 kit which triggered me to look for it. Gary
  18. Gramps46
    I have a fan from a junkyard 935-78 but it only has 9 blades. If that is good enough I can send it to you. I know where to find you.
  19. Gramps46
    Looks real good and authentic. Put a lot of miles on one of those.
  20. Gramps46
    Great to see this build(s) back on line again. Gary
  21. Gramps46
    Well done. Glad you could stick with it and share the finished result with us.
  22. Gramps46
    Wow! Thanks for the enlightenment Ellen.

    My grandfather delivered milk with a Model T. I am sure he would have liked this one, I do.
  24. Gramps46
    Just noticed the bird's nest on the beam under the bridge. Very nice touch.

    That Cady must be huge. Looks like all four doors open. How did they do that? More pictures please.
