Looks tough Rich, I do like the Lancia rally cars. Dave B

Ah Matt, looking forward to this, always love your white metal builds. Dave B

Getting there!! Dave B

It's looking a bit like a big gocart now! Starting on the body while spot putty dries on the Stradale'. Dave B

Ok, I've finished the chassis pan, interior and engine bay. It's not accurate but does more closely reflect the original prototype, down to the interior colour. While I continue restoring the body I'll start completing the 33TT12. Dave B

Nice clean build Thomas, tks for sharing. Dave B

Chris, what a phenomenal rendition of Fangio's race car. I've told a mate who has 3 MFH kits to build to follow your threads as they are always excellent. Who knows, one day he may actually build them!! Dave B

Beautiful Ken, if I ever get around to building mine I hope it's half as nice. Dave B

I actually wanted the MFH 1/24 kit, but for the $$$$ Lucky I was able to get a 3D printed one. Dave B

After having replaced the vents in the rear deck I decided to see if I could find out why I had cut 3 vents in the rear guards. Turns out I couldn't. After checking the old Otaki box art I have no explanation for cutting the vents. Must have thought it was a good idea at the time!! Well I was young!! Anyway to reflect the actual prototype they are now being filled in. Dave B

I've just restored the glass and found that, for some reason as a twenty something year old, I had sprayed the screen and side windows with Tamiya clear smoke. Anyway they have come up well, the 2 marks in the windscreen are covered by the wiper. Dave B

Nice builds in a very finicky scale. Have built a few 1/43's but I got old!!! Dave B

Nice build Scott. Those early Tamiya kits are nice. Dave B

Ah Pierre, your weathering skills are without peer!!! Looks great mate. Dave B

While waiting for the paint to cure on the 33TT12 I have started again on the Stradale'. I have rewired the distributors to reflect the actual car and added coils. Also touched up the paint around the engine bay. At the front I've rebuilt the kingpins so I now have a steerable front end. I have now started to rebuild one of the doors as both hinges were broken. Wish me luck!! Dave B

Looking great Mark, I wish I had made the effort to replace the screen with mesh when I built mine!! Might have to retro fit it one day. Dave B

Looking good Justin, don't forget to sand the tread on the tyres!!😂 Dave B

Actually love this car and am looking forward to seeing your build Chris. I should try and pic up the 1/24 version!! Dave B

Hi Rich, I'm wondering why the 4 front wheels are not turned, just kidding!! They made some nicely detailed 1/32 kits and your build looks good. Dave B

Now, that's a build of a different TransAm car Rex. Cudos for building it, it's not the nicest looking race car!! Coming along nicely at the moment. Dave B

Certainly looking like it's spent a lot of time on the salt!!! Dave B

Ah Pierre, using your skills set on something different, good to see!!! Looking really good, I haven't built a rod for soooo long. Dave B

Well, that's the chassis finished. Not as good as a bought kit but better than nothing and a reasonable improvement over what I started with. Now onto the body. Tks for looking. Dave B

That looks like a really nice kit and an excellent OOB build. Nice to see you doing some sports cars again!! Dave B

Well, I guess it's doable!! Dave B
