Thanks for posting the Brabham Rich. It is gorgeous!

Now you have gone and done it, got my juices flowing. Did not know about a silver one.

The overspray on the underside is a nice touch. Well done.

For any one who builds that version of the coupe be aware the grilles in the hood are very shallow so mask them before you paint and paint them after the body color. I learned this the hard way.

Just a small note but in the 50s and before the chrome was very heavy and you will see old junkers with good chrome that did not rust.

Impressive make over, well done.

Excellent build of one of the 1950's icon cars.

Another interesting car. The office chair on top is really special.

Nice. Hachette is doing a lot of model cars we don't see here. Thanks for sharing. Your models posted on your forum are outstanding. http://rcforum.ru/showthread.php?t=58172

Very nicely done! I really like how you did the spoked wheels. I am a big believer that the spokes should be darker than the rims for a more realistic look and you have proven here.

Now that is very nice and very unique. What scale is it? Nice collection of models in your Flickr album too.

Glad to have you join the group Rich.

Understand. I was just comparing it to the Revell. My bad.

The model and photos shot on film are from Scott Kercher. Scott has a well-deserved reputation for accuracy and realism. The Ferrari factory in 1967 introduced for endurance racing the 412P for their racing customers like NART, the North American Racing Team. This Fujimi P4 kit was converted to a customer 412P for the Le Mans 24 Hour race. The biggest difference is the factory cars were fuel injected and the customer cars had carbs. The deck under the rear glass is just flat sheet with a large bump to clear the carbs. Lots of changes to the lumps and bumps and scoops. The rear glass is also different on the cars and the 412P also sports a large pedal box in the scoop on the front. Paint is Tamiya Racing White with Tamiya Royal Blue stripe. Decals are from UMI and the NART on the driver’s door are vinyl press-on stickers! Sorry no engine pictures.

I must admit I was fearful when I saw the title because my first car was a Healey but you have done this one proud. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. I must admit I am not familiar with this scale. Are aftermarket parts readily available?

Right hand drive. Whose model is this?

Keep them coming, they look great.

Another great transformation. The Rudge wheels and improved stance make such a difference.

Another sweet build. I never paid much attention to the big BBuragos but your conversions are make them really appealing.

Nice! Those BBurago wheels are so annoying and replacement makes such a difference,.

The transformation is pretty amazing. Looking at it now I can just imagine the rumble of that big block. If you want a suggestion, how about touching up the spokes on the steering wheel.

I like what you have done with this kit. Your build allows one to focus on the detail and design and not be distracted by the decals.

You have the very rare , IMHO, AMT boxed IMC Ford GTMKII. I had one years ago.
