Looks like a pretty well detailed casting. Should be a fun build.

I just checked the Gunze Jag Roadster kit and it includes a clear top molded with the windows. No engine though.

When I built mine I replaced the kit wheels with modified PE spokes and made the front outside laced. I should go back and put large openings in the interior side panels.

I wish you well on your plan. Gary (fading back into the bushes) ?

Bill, I have this windsheild that might be savable for the 275P. Send me an email with an adress.

By 1962 Eric Broadley, the founder of Lola Cars Ltd, decided he needed to move to the mid-engine configuration, as had Ferrari and Lotus, with their racing sport cars. He proceeded with the design and construction of 3 MK VI GTs for races in 1963 powered by a small block Ford V8. Eric drove the new GT to Le Mans in 1963 and arrived only to encounter issues with the scrutineers which required some significant changes which took time away from practice by David Hobbs and Dickie Attwood. During the race there were problems with the gear change which resulted in a missed shift and put the GT into the wall and out of the race. Concurrently Ford had embarked upon their Total Performance program and company execs attended the ’63 Le Mans. They were impressed with the Lola GT and kept it in mind when negotiations for the purchase of Ferrari collapsed. Ford then put out a request for proposals from Lola and Lotus for the development of the Ford GT40. Lola won and began the construction of the Ford GT Prototypes for the 1964 racing season. The model is a 1/24 resin kit from Scale Kraft in South Africa. Unfortunately, only a few were made before the founder was injured mountain climbing and was not able to continue production. The model is mostly OOB except for a change to the wheels and tires.

Welcome to the we cherish the Alfa Stradale club.

It is Thursday 9 March and this Lola is finished and moving to Under Glass. Thanks for following along.

Both are very well done. Good old Guido at Scale Kraft did some really neat bodies.

I agree with Rex.

OUTSTANDING it says Jimmy Clark all over it which is a real honor Rich.

Well done and the weathering is very appropriate.

Now that is pretty bizarre Snake. To have that happen on your first model back at the bench is a real bummer but you were able to handle admirably.

I like it. I don't know why but the 934 has always been one of my favorites in the 911 family. You do know it is going to be lonely on the shelf with all those Fords. ?

Welcome Mark and your models and photos are very well done.

I like it! Almost subtle in a way that I like. Thanks for sharing.

I posted pictures of my Monogram classic race cars on Wednesday. Monogram 1/24's - post 'em up !! - Page 4 - Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Almost finished.

Totally cool and at that price pretty amazing.

All your models are so cleanly built Helmut. Very impressive no matter how old.

The Monogram roadster was a slot car but I put the body on a Fujimi chassis.

These are original 1/24 Monogram survivors though some were rescued and rebuilt. Lots of good memories.

Spring has come early to Virginia so had to load up the downed limbs from the woods and take them to the yard waste recycling center at the landfill. It was a beautiful day.

You have a PM.
