    Please keep us up to date on the Packard Hawk conversion.

    Very well done indeed Dave. I think you have captured the look and the Flip Top is a real stand out.

    Magazine photo outside in the courtyard by the Ferrari racing shop (kind of).? Here is the late John Johnson's Teapot Graphics version for real. It was a complete resin kit with Herb Deeks PE wheels. The TRi62 won Le Mans in 1962 driven by two of my favorite drivers, Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien. One fault I have with my build is it is too glossy for a period correct racing Ferrari. Thanks for looking.

    When Reventlow closed down his Scarab operations Shelby moved his Cobra operations into the vacant building on Princton Ave. and hired some of the staff like Phil Remington. Lucky Shelby.

    Based upon the tag and brake discs this must be a Meng. Very impressive build. The exhaust pipes are a knock out!

    This Franklin Mint 1998 Corvette Indy Pace Car just arrived. Did not intend on collecting pace cars but the price was right. I am impressed with it.

    When I got my JL Commander I felt right off the bat that it was too big but did not take any measurements. I think the designers of the JL model must have graduated from the JADA school of design.

    Wow! Have you seen what these are going for? Better get a safety deposit box at the bank for it. ?

    Thank you Ray for posting your photos. I don't think I had seen one built up yet and it is good to see an OOB completion.

    I agree with Rich you did a super job with this one.
  11. Gramps46
    Oh yes! Very well done. Really captures the feel and look of the 1:1.

    Looks real good Rex. Don't think I have seen the Aurora built up lit this. Thanks for sharing.

    Ace, that Danbury Mint Commander is a real beauty. Glad you could find a JL for your project.

    Looking good. Thanks for sharing your progress.

    I quite frankly was confused by the paint job till I read the fine print. Now it makes sense.

    The Alfa TZ-1 has gotta be one of my favorites. The Scuderia Filipinetti markings are a perfect choice. Thank you sharing.

    Thank you Jeff for posting the Airflow pictures. It is an amazing model.
  18. Gramps46
    Amazing accomplishment. Beyond that I am speechless!
  19. Gramps46
    Really like what you did with this Alfa. I might have to add one to my wish list. Leo/White Box?

    Thanks for sharing this Corvette. First time I have seen one like this from Franklin Mint.
  21. Gramps46
    I like it. Hard to believe it is 1/43rd.
  22. Gramps46
    Looks really good. I have the blue one but never notice the wheels till yours.
  23. Gramps46
    I am seriously impressed with what you have done.
  24. Gramps46
    Thanks for sharing your pictures. The 1320 models are pretty amazing.

    Once again, a great accomplishment with scratch building an iconic body.
