Mike, Do you remember how/why the Pink Pig 917-20 got painted that way? All I remember is Giorgio Rossi refused to put his stickers (Martini Rossi) on it. -
That is one sharp looking 956 Bruce.

Just found this old Revell Porsche 911 model on the shelf that I missed. It was supposed to be the 1970 911T of Verrnier and Garant of Wicky Racing and it is not accurate but it is old. And then there is this ESCI kit of the 1976 Kremer 934.

The 907LH is the Heller kit and next to it is a 1967 910. The Nakamura Sangyo plastic kit 910 was imported to the USA by AHM from Japan. I always thought it looked kind of bloated but was the only 910 available at the time. Just Googled the AHM kit and came across a photo of this model I had posted here on MCM.?

Well done mike especially considering their size.

Older Porsche It is said confession is good for the soul. I really debated whether to post this picture or not since some of the models are in such poor shape and one of them I can not identify what it is supposed to be. But here goes anyway since the objective so to show what could have been available in the olden days.

Mark, I really appreciate you starting this post with the background. As Rich said we miss Dale so much. Gary

Scott responded: Please tell Helmut that the Daytona is indeed the Italeri kit, one of the worst models ever. Sink marks, bubbles in the glass, more pin marks than anything imaginable, wonky engineering, not to mention parts that are just wrong. Gary responds: Despite all the problems Scott sure did a remarkable build on the Daytona.

Tom, welcome to this group of LM addicts. Your collection is outstanding especially for actually building the Heller 905 Evo. I started one and never finished it. Recently bought a Hachette diecast instead. Your Jules 936 is very interesting too and your stash looks pretty familiar. -
A really excellent selection of LM race cars. My favorite is the 412P if I had to pick just one.

I like it a lot but do I really need another Mini. ?
