  1. What are you going to use for the chassis?
  2. What an impressive model and thanks for the history.
  3. Your builds are awesome. I have been a devotee of the 1/24 hard slot bodies for decades now but use them to build static models, about twenty so far.
  4. This is a new book about the Le Mans 24 Heures race and covers all years 1923 - 2022 with cars, drivers, and interesting antidotes. But only a few pictures, cost me $25 in paperback on Amazon and I recommend it if you are a Le Mans fan.
  5. Yours is the first one I have seen built up and itis indeed impressive.
  6. Striking is the first word to comes to mind.
  7. I have always liked the Type 55 and this one is a beauty. Hard for me to imagine that this is 1/43rd. Thank you posting and sharing.
  8. Between Gene and Helmut I feel like I am very vulnerable to their postings. ? Just ordered the Chevy pickup and the Charger, already have the 'Chevy. Correction: make that a Charger
  9. No I can not take credit for the numbers, they are too consistant. IMAGES sent me the transkit and asked that I build it for the box cover.
  10. Tell us more Geno, please.
  11. In the 1970 Targa Florio Brian Redman and Jo Siffert drove a Porsche 908/3 to victory. It was an eight-cylinder spyder based on the 908 chassis. The model was built decades ago and was based upon the Heller 1/24 908 kit with a styrene vacuum formed body from Bill Koons at IMAGES.
  12. Noel, the conversion back to the ACE is pretty easy. Just remove the wheel arches, add the moustache under the grille, and shift the instrument panel to the right. JC and I have both done it.
  13. Rich you have done an outstanding build with this rare kit. I have no idea how you were able to get the pinstripes around the edges of the body to lie down so perfectly. Thank you for sharing the photos with us. Here is a photo I took with my Instamatic at the 1969 Mid-Ohio CanAm.
  14. I am impressed with your collection.
  15. Oh that is nice. Thank you for posting it.
  16. Wow! Great collection.
  17. It has been fun to see this old thread pop up again and the scope expanded to include models which used the original AMT and IMC leaf sprung chassis. 1965 USRRC Revell slot body on an AMT chassis. 1965 Sebring #15 RMP (Japan) body on an AMT chassis. 1964 Targo Florio resin body on an AMT chassis. 1965 Le Mans Lindberg Daytona on an IMC Cougar chassis 1965 Fliptop resin body on an AMT chassis.
  18. Here you go again with these great ideas
  19. This I want to watch closely
