Think I'm going to try scale these up and compare what's what and do some measurements. It'll either be worth changing or accept it for what it us. The kit decals are toast so will also find a new scheme to do it it

I have this 996 gt3r from horby and been trying to figure out what's wrong with it? The shape just looks off. I can see the front is very wrong but the rest of cars bugging me. Any tips or ideas on adjusting the front or anyone seeing anything that stands out to them that is off. Ot could be once fronts sorted the rest falls in place? The kit is the same as the scalextric car

Hi all picked up this kit as a built up unpainted model. I have stripped it back to parts, decals are toast so have decided to order the le man's DeWalt set from Pattos Place. Plan is to redo interior to try make it more realistic, no gear stick a rather pedestrian steering wheel and very generic square seat came with the kit some odd mouldings in the passenger side interior, and not convinced the cage is correct. Boot is all wrong based on a reference I am using of a recently sold car, not the same chassis but assuming this is more correct that what is depicted on the kit. Boot is now cut out, just removed the bottom panel to try redo it that way but may chop the whole rear off and rebuild around some reconstructed foot wells. Chassis lacks detail so may look at a way to improve that to

This will look fantastic

I will hopefully get back to finishing this soon

This is fantastic build to look through and a really cool car to model

That looks beautiful

Another beauty!!!

I think I have seen it on spot model. No idea what it was like

That's a great pair, really like different touches and see more each time I look

That looks great, paint really pops

Top one is a gulf car I believe

Looking fantastic so far

Like the extra detail added to the bonnet

That's another cracking car!!!

Loads detail gone into this. Quite the project

Love matras and the world needs more v12s.

I realised I only got to page 2 and missed all the other goodness!!! The weathering looks good. Love the detail and effort around the number decals and the door fittings

That's a great motor and chassis looks clean so far. So much detail the bigger the kits get.

This is looking great. Like the wheels. 1:12 must be big on the shelf

I'll follow this. Looks like you've done a good job of getting it all apart. I feel I'd end up braking something critical

That looks fantastic

These fifties racers are very pretty cars. When I collected diecast I had a couple FDS kits that I bought built. They where charming and even with lower levels of accuracy and detail made me smile. Will follow this for sure

I'm not brave enough to even try a power tool ... I feel ill either trash the kit or find I've removed any hope of using finger ID

More playing around. One if the headlights looks good the other has gone blurry. Still need to strip the paint and try again
