  1. Beautiful, just gorgeous! Much more tasteful than the Caddy's of the era.
  2. Amazing replica! That must have been a rocketship in its day.
  3. Very well done! Great throwback livery.
  4. I'm watching. Never seen an attempt at scratching a carb, amazing work!
  5. Thanks Carl. In all the pics I've been able to find it appears very dark inside but gray would seem appropriate
  6. Very well done! Great color.
  7. I'm starting a Salvinos modified kit and I'm going to use decals for Ryan Newman #39. I can't find a good picture of the interior, it appears black but seems like that would be awfully hot? Maybe bare aluminum body panels or would they be exterior color (bright yellow)? Any help appreciated.
  8. Very cool! Did the dolly and figures come with?
  9. You really nailed the weathering. Thanks for the info on the interior color. I had a '67 with that shade and have never been able to match it.
  10. From the instruction sheet: The TE-20, nicknamed Little Grey Fergie, was launched in 1946 and built in Coventry by the Standard Motor Co. More than 500,000 units were built until 1956. They were imported to France and successful enough to justify a joint-venture between Standard and Hotchkiss in 1953 with mostly imported British parts. The share of French-built parts increased until reaching 100% in 1957 when the TE-20 became the FF-30, produced until 1958. Minor differences from the TE-20 included seat shape, battery location, and red-painted engine and chassis. Neat little kit. The toughest part was the equipment hitch on the back. They included decals for the lights which kinda look OK. Comments welcome and thanks for looking.
  11. Top Gun in race cars, I loved it anyway. Model looks great!
  12. A great replica from a not so great kit. Well done!
  13. What a beauty!
  14. They were pretty rare in 1:1 too as I recall! Great replica.
  15. Me too! Seeing your great work makes me think I should move it to the bench.
  16. Nice work! This is a great kit.
  17. That is nice! Your work on the stance paid off.
  18. Watching with interest. I have built this car and its not an easy kit.
  19. Finished this one over the weekend. I had originally painted it yellow, which over the red plastic did not go well. Finally decided to strip and start over with Tamiya blue. Nice kit, everything went together well. My only complaint is the tires look too much like snow tires! Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
  20. My favorite era of Indy car, well done!
  21. I love this! Well done, something other than a '32 Ford.
  22. Nice clean work, love that color!
  23. Love the old Monogram classics, nice work!
  24. Very cool! Great driver gone too soon.
