Great build of a car I had completely forgotten about. Dave B

Very nice Ken, very art deco and Figoni et Falashi. Dave B

Good one Helmut, just the nicest looking later model Ferrari. Nothing since looks as good. Dave B

Looks good Pat, very nice clean build. Dave B

You create some wonderful 1/43 cars and there is such a range of vehicles to choose from, just wish my eyes were better!! 🤩 Dave B

The good news is my Cheetah decals have arrived, the bad news is the young speed merchants have threatened to sack their designer, me, as the centre of gravity is too high with a z'd chassis for a Streamliner so I have already started planning an underslung tube chassis. More to follow. Dave B

Nice build Gary, great addition to your other Grand Sports. Dave B

First up a confession, this may never make it to Under Glass. I've had it for years and was inspired by Nico's Bonneville Streamliner. I'm building it as something a young guy in the early fifties could do, if he new a good panel man. Started with a model A frame, z'd, narrowed and shortened. Tri carb flathead running thru a quick change rear end. I have to be able to make the front end realistic so we'll see how it goes. All parts from my various spares boxes. It's really just a fill in while waiting to finish the Cheetah and get my head around the Zagato. Tks for looking. Dave B

Tks Gerald, I wouldn't use an unbuilt Cheetah but you should look around for an old used one. Dave B

Well, the finishing line is in site but the chequered flag is yet to drop. I've finished the chassis and am starting on the body. Shouldn't take long but I do have to wait for some more decals so around 2 weeks should see me finished. Look for it next 'Under Glass' Tks for your comments. Dave B PS I've fixed the headers in the photo, they are now spaced the same!!

Whoops, sorry folks, looks like I was incorrect stating Cosworth's involvement. Apologies. Dave B

Hi Pat, looking good but I think you'll find it was a specially built Cosworth V6 quad cam. Dave B

Getting there, just some fine tuning to do to the headers and a coat of paint . Dave B

Hand carving Gary, a skill I could never master!! SS and Scarab look great, as I am sure your Corvette will when finished. Dave B
