That turned out great, nice job!

If you're into offbeat projects, definitely!

Thanks! It's a really nice kit, one of those that you can just about shake the box and it goes together. Getting the windshield to fit was the hardest part, and I think most of that was self-inflicted.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Great builds all around, very clean work on a nice mix of subjects!

Thank you! Yes, I needed a set to replace the broken wheels that were on the 275 GTB/4 when I bought it, and had several left over from the Aston Martin. So Bburago got Danbury Mint wheels, Danburry Mint got Tamiya wheels, and the Tamiya Jaguar will be getting a set of aftermarket steelies - everyone gets an upgrade! ?

Thank you! Even though the five spoke is possibly Ferrari's most iconic wheel design, I always liked the look of these.

Thanks! I've only done a couple of trucks so far, but am going to have to try a few more.

Thank you! My cartoon vehicle collection continues to grow.

Nice! Same here, my subjects are all over the place so it sometimes takes a while for me to get to certain builds.

Thanks! There's plenty of space to do so for anyone interested in trying it. You might also be able to get a Cobra engine to fit with some modification work.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks! I always vote "build it," you can still keep the box as a background display to go with it.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I recall Fujimi having some trouble with the proportions on their BMWs from that era, too...not sure if that speaks to the kit manufacturers or BMW's design team. The C5R skirts look pretty good on it.

Congratulations Kurt!

Fujimi kits for both the GT40 and 330 P. As often happens in Hollywood, the star cars weren't exactly historically accurate. It's less noticeable on the Ford, which was built more or less box stock and painted ScaleFinishes' "1966 Ford GT40 Light Blue." But the Ferrari was represented by a Race Car Replicas R4, based on the 1967 P4 rather than the 1966 P3. They also changed the markings, either to make it more photogenic or easier for the crew to reproduce as needed. I split the difference, swapping out wheels and mirrors then making my own markings that combined the original and movie cars. Writeups for them are available here and here, and any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Nice touch seeing a Challenger wearing something other than Rallyes or Mags!

Thanks!

Nicely done! I do wish more Aston Martins were available as kits.

Glad this got bumped, I somehow missed it until now. Awesome work on the conversion, and congrats on the awards!

Nice collection! Where were you able to find those hubcaps for the Challenger?

Great looking group!
