Magnificent build Francois. So much exquisite detailing and material substitutions make this one look so real. I love the paint that looks so period correct. Félicitations!

Absolutely gorgeous model. The paint still looks wet! You have convinced me this one needs to go on my wish list. I don't think I could approach the result you have achieved but would sure want to try!

He still is but it takes time to get the orders filled. I just received fittings purchased in November. If you e-mail him he eventually answers. Beautiful parts but plan ahead, he appears to be very busy.

Hi Mark, next build will definitely be posted here on MCM but it will be a while as I plan to get back to the bench in October. I have 2 candidates. First is the Revell 300 SLR from the '55 MM race converted to the Fangio configuration. I need to figure out a way to do a good silver though. Second option is to go for my first effort on a resin kit, possibly a fifties Ferrari from Fernando Pinto Modelos.

They both look very very good. I hope you will post more updates. I have been wondering about FPPM kits so looking forward to your impressions on this one.

Thank you Larry Thanks Atin. Really a slot car body and not much else but the shape is workable and the rest is just added detailing.

Remarquable attention to accuracy, particularly considering your description of this build as a semi-curbside.

The art work is beautiful as well as the model. Would love to see more pics of it. With all the attention on the 66 it's nice to see Ford's earlier efforts.

Looks to be a very nice kit. Looking forward to see the next steps.

I built the Fujimi and thought it was good but wish it had a complete chassis & powertrain. To get that we have to add a transit of go all out on a Model Factory Hiro.

Very nice build Donato. White over black... brave man!

Thanks for the feedback Dave. This kit is as basic as it gets and I am happy with the detailing additions. It was a fun process.

Wonderful metal finishes and the seat belt kit is superb. What a great build!

Must have been a challenging mask & paint job and you pulled it off beautifully. Another winner from the Chernosky factory!

Wonderful build. Beautiful detailing and finishes. Such a wonderful and efficient way to go racing. Today's F1 claims to achieve carbon neutral yet they need about 10 semis to carry a car, parts, etc...

nice snug fit ?

Thanks Bill. I'm following your's with great interest. I'm sure you'll come up with fresh ideas on how to dress it up.

Thank you Donato.

Such lovely work Harald, and to think it is 1/32 scale. I've been looking for some PE sets for MB stars as well as the buckles etc. Would you mind sharing what the manufacturer of these is?

I would make the same call Jeremy. Trying to match the newly painted sides to the original yellowed paint...might work but has some risk to it. IMO better to do a complete redo since you have new decals ready to go.

That's a novel way to build a classic Mercedes. This is very very good.

63 Corvette...at the very top of the list for me. You still have that car Gary?

Yup, smooth!

My kind of project. This will be fun to watch.

Thank you Bruce. Just a curbside but I tried my best to add realism to this basic 30 part kit. Thank you Chris. Indeed my friend, done with a brush. It's at times challenging but when spraying is not an option we can only try to maximize results using plan B. Thank you Mario. Exactly the way it feels looking at your builds, especially sitting in your very real looking photo setup & diorama. Thank you Gunnar, much appreciated. Indeed Jeremy, slot car body and not much else and it was fun building it into a more realistic replica.
