You captured the traditional look perfectly, well done!

Very nicely done. Modern race cars are getting tougher with the 1:1 wraps being used so extensively. I agree separate logo decals would be preferable.

Outstanding replica! Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting, I'll be following. Kind of the wild west days in LSR with Arfons & Breedlove trading records.

Great dio too! Did you scratch the Fotomat?

Great news! Between the new Cup cars, modifieds, and now Indy cars this is a great time for race car modelers. Now if we could get some modern F1 cars my bank account would never recover!

Those look great! I have yet to start mine, any hints/tips on construction?

Nice job on them both! I love the gold car.

Nice job! Sterling was a favorite and I always liked this livery.

Unbelievable! Outstanding replica.

Love it! We need more brass here.

Great colors on both, well done. Very good photography too!

Very effective technique. Thanks for sharing your process.

Wow! Great conversion.

Neat, clean work. Could mistake for 1:1 with the right background.

Very nice! Love the color.

Very convincing weathering! The bullet holes on the driver's side are a little scary!?

Many thanks for all the comments, I really enjoyed this build.

This is the Revell new tool kit, sorry for the confusion.

Its rumored that Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever built" upon its introduction in 1961. I always liked the lines of the roadster better than the coupe, the roofline on the coupe looks 'off' to me for some reason. Maybe because I've recently completed a couple of Heller kits I especially enjoyed this kit, the engineering and parts count were outstanding. Mold lines were faint and easy to clean up and the parts attachments, especially the chrome parts, were designed to be well hidden on the finished car. Everything fit without massaging. It included an extensive decal sheet with all the underhood and interior markings you could want. I didn't use them all, some were extremely tiny. This kit, and I imagine the sister coupe, easily rival Tamiya for accuracy and ease of construction IMHO. Comments always welcome and thanks for looking.

Beautiful land yacht! Love the color, great work.

Cool car! I always thought they looked very much like a Bugatti. Nice work.

Beautiful paint and finishing work, well done!

Another beauty from your bench, great work!

Pretty much any car looks good in black but it's hard to pull off, prep work must be perfect. I say go for it!
