    You are right Maxx along with the 166MM and the TR61. These were done before resin kits were available.

    Once again outstanding work. Thanks for sharing the build and completed model.

    My 1/25 - 1/24 scale collection of Ferraris that won Le Mans is growing with the addition of the 2023 winner from BBurago. Only 3 more to finish. Do you know which ones were carved from wood? Oops, 1958 TR58 and 1954 375 Plus are out of order.

    The BBurago 1/24 scale Ferrari 499P that won Le Mans in 2023 arrived this afternoon.

    1964 Corvette Grand Sport 002 1/18 by Road Signature, aka Yat Ming. Ok, not bad but could be better but Exoto did it better. My issues with the model are the color, should be silver as displayed at Notre Dame, not the Viking Blue shown, and the headlamps look silly tiny and the covers should have been painted body color. Shown with the 1/25 resin Grand Sport 002 by Landis and Saparo. I am heading back to 24.5 scale now. ?

    My oldest kits are special for me. The Ideal Ferrari 212 was released in 1956 in 1/16 scale and was one of my earliest kits I built. The Berkeley Allard J2 is dated to 1953 in 1/24 scale and is special because it was gifted to me by Wayne Moyer, Model Car Magazine, and other, model magazines columnist for 1/43 scale models.

    I saw this on the bay and having seen the real car in the flesh twice had to get one. This is where I messed up when I sorted by low cost and shipping and ordered it, 1/18 Ford MKIV Shelby Collection. It arrived and there are no number decals. Plus, no Gurney bump, wrong color knock offs on right side, no front jack hooks, no chassis sill rivets, et al. Going back, I can now see that Shelby Collectables did both with and without number decals. They also kept it generic enough to offer different colors. Oh well, live and learn. I did order the correct decals from lemansdecals.com if I ever decide to go the Snakefu route.

    Looking real good.

    Geno, you nailed it for sure. Thanks for sharing it with us.
  12. Gramps46
    Oh yes, you captured the look!
  13. Gramps46
    I like what you did with your Snake Fu!!!

    Good looking Porsches.

    Glad to see the progress update.

    Have not seen this Polistil Mercedes before. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Gramps46
    Wow! Nicely done.
  18. Gramps46
    Yes, it is labeled as such. My only complaint are the wheels which I feel have too much of a of an offset and should be outside laced.

    Looks great Tim. Would never know of the paint problems if you had not mentioned them.

    Really glad to see this build alive again.

    At the club meeting Sunday made a deal for a Spark 1/16 Ford GT40. Only my 3rd 1/16 but hey it's a GT40 so I broke my scale rule. Got it home and discovered the windshield wiper was missing. My friend searched everywhere for it but without any luck. I went online and found lemansdecals.com sells PE wipers in multiple scales so order some.

    Thank you Rich for sharing your processes and techniques. I have been building models since 1958 but have really slowed down.
  23. Gramps46
    Good to see you back.
  24. Gramps46
    Just in. The 1/24 BBurago Ferrari 330 P4 shown as the 1967 Daytona 24 hour winner. Displayed with an original Heller and a diecast Jouef. The good news is that it is cheap, the bad news is the rivet detail.

    Thank you for the photos. They are special for me.
