Did not know that. Mine do not open darn it.

Hmmm? At first glance I thought there would be a lot of induced drag due to all the different surfaces but I am a nuts-and-bolts kind of guy and not an aerodynamicist.

This is why I have not and will not watch the movie. I would just sit there and get upset with the inaccuracies. -
It is simply amazing what you have accomplished.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster
Gramps46 replied to Gramps46's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Rich, Years ago when I built the coupe shown below I had to mix my own paint color. I knew it was Linden Green which is an English Ford standard color in the '60s. This time I went looking for some Linden Green but did not find any, even tried Detroit Diesel engine green and a FIAT shade but those did not work. But then discovered I had some RS60 sitting on the shelf and that seemed to me to be pretty reasonable match with a gray primer base. I don't envy you on your move. Best wishes on that endeavor with your stash and shop. -
Thank you Janos and Helmut for posting this unique model.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster
Gramps46 replied to Gramps46's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Besides Mini Exotics others have done this body style including a Monogram Slot Car, Reliable Resins, DDP, and ???. The original Monogram was molded wider than the 1:1 to accommodate the slot chassis and some of the others did not change the width when they repoped it, including this one. Here is a comparison of the transkit with a Monogram body narrowed to the correct width. Jorgen Stendahl did an excellent WIP many years ago, but I cannot find a link to it now. -

The community has been kind of slow here so I thought I would start a thread on favorite diecasts. My favorite is a 1/24 scale EBBRO Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973. Everything about this model is above the normal standard. I wish I could get better pictures of the interior and engine bay. Please feel free to add your favorite to this topic.

Super special accomplishment.
