Tks all for your comments. Rich and Helmut, I'm part way through my next resin, but it's only a 2E Chaparral however a file for the McLaren M6BGT has just been released and it looks interesting. Dave

Sorry, more information. Generally driven by Doug Whiteford. He drove it at Longford and was very successful there in earlier years in his Maserati 300S. Dave B

And you deserve it Dave

This is my take on the Zagato I saw race at Longford in March 1962. Purchased new by Australian Laurie O'Neill in Dec '61 and delivered early in '62 this Zagato had a successful racing career in Australia. Raced in it's delivery colours of an Old English White it came first overall in the South Pacific GT Championships at Longford March '62. The car was later sold overseas, restored in unoriginal colours and went on to compete in many major concours event being extremely successful!!! Once again I have to thank Phil for this resin print. Finished in Auto acrylic Old English White and clear coated. Tks for looking. Dave B

Yup

Coming along great Charlie. Do you intend to build a specific car? Dave

That's a great build of a very fiddly kit Rich. Congratulations on getting it to look so good. Dave B

Great build Mark and great photography as well. Dave B

Hi Andrew, yes the resin is very thin and I have a good range of diamond coated bits, I'll have to think about it. Yes it's 1/24 and I only downloaded it because I missed out on Paul's. Bought the book a few years back at the right price. Just one of three Chaparral books, not bad for a Ford guy 😂 Dave B

I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment. Because it's a resin print the fine details (mesh and air outlets in front guards) are almost nonexistent and after a couple of coats of undercoat they'll be gone. As it's resin it's a bit thin and fragile to cut the vents out. Have to think about this one for a while. Dave B

👍👍👍 Dave B

Hi Helmut, yes I have, I've narrowed the pillars and altered the side windows. I've also managed to mess up the glass moulds so Phil has to reprint them. It's painted the colour it was when delivered to Australia and when I saw it race at Longford. Pity it's been restored incorrectly!! Dave B

Tks Charlie, I'm sure yours will be a cut above!! I'm really glad I could help and I'm going to love watching yours come together. Dave B

Looking good Charlie, glad to hear you're doing well. Dave B

Yes, unfortunately, the Fisher's lived in Paradise, or not, especially when wild fires are raging. Dave B
