    Thanks Trevor, The Elite is a Scuderia Scale vacuum formed styrene kit. I was very fortunate to get these kits back in the olden days.

    FWIW, here is a comparison of the Lotus 11 and its 1/24 and 1/25 scales and its English cousins. The AC ACE (Cobra conversion) and the Lotus Elite are 1/25 and the rest are 1/24.

    My favorites have to be the GT MKIVs. Really appreciate your posting these and good luck with move.
  4. Gramps46
    That is a beautiful build guys.
  5. Gramps46
    Yes it is 1/24. I built mine but converted it to wide cockpit a long time ago.
  6. Gramps46
    I like it a lot. Your build and decals are spot on.
  7. Gramps46
    Very impressed with what you have done with this kit.

    Be still my beating heart. You did a great job and got all the details right. In the mid 70's I bought and restored a 1:1 split window so this is special to me.

    Well I guess I qualify for this group as I turned 78 in April. Been building models since 1958. Fortunately I am in fairly good shape but since a brain fart in 2018 I have tremors which have impacted what I can do on the bench.

    Truly amazing finds. Normally I would thank you for posting but I am too jealous.?

    Bingo! I found the kit on the bay. It is an AMT kit and not SMP. This must be the stock version I built from that kit. Hood still won't stay down after 62 years ?

    I did find this built up which looks like it used the parts. 1962 Chevrolet Corvette - Customizing kit - Amt (forumactif.org)

    I am afraid I do not have any information on the custom parts in the upper portion of the photo but will keep looking. I had them labeled as 1962 SMP kit. Sending you a PM.
  14. Gramps46
    OK, I am truly impressed once again with what you have accomplished with these Corvettes. I still have the custom parts that came in the 1961 and 1962 SMP kits and had always intended to build them some day now you have provided some inspiration.

    Spot on Emre. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Now that is really a cool idea. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    I just found this resin body by TKM in my stash that I had forgotten about. It is yours if you want it.

    Negative on the Profil24 kit. I have the Scale Kraft resin kit from Guido and a lot of reference material if that will help. I also have a body casting from Mini Exotics of the LM winner, but it was never produced as a kit.

    Truly impressed with what you were able to accomplish. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Us old guys really love the Merits.

    Just arrived. Rare and expensive Tamiya slot car but I could not resist. It will become a model of GT40 GT/108 which was a demo car and never raced. Will replace the chassis, interior, and wheels and tires. It will join my other spyders.
  23. Gramps46
    Been waiting a long time.

    Looking good Terry. What paint color did you use?

    Just turned 78 and feel pretty good but the angina has started. Not related to exercise though. Another doctor's appointment Tuesday.
