Looks really good Gary. I like the fact you strive for realism in your builds. I generally do these days but my current build does not reflect this as you will see when posted. Dave B

That looks great Justin, mine has been untouched for the last 30 years!! Dave B

This is my take/tribute to the Kar Kraft/Bud Moore Engineering '69 Mustang gifted to Canadian Allan Moffat to race in the Australian Touring Car Championships. It has a race record of around 100 wins from 153 starts but failed to win the ATCC. to me it is the most revered Mustang in Oz and I was lucky enough to see it race back in the day. The build took a little longer than expected due to the mods required. 2mm pie cut from the radiator support back to the shock towers; front of body heated with a hair dryer and pulled down to meet inner fender wells and radiator support panel; guards cut and flared; dashboard rebuilt and sectioned; scratch built roll cage; centre consule removed; rear quarter windows opened; photo etched hood pins fitted with spring steel pins in the radiator support panel; 3D printed 12mm and 11mm disc rotors and calipers fitted; competition seats fitted with belts and photo etched hardware; resin Minilites fitted; and Patto's decals. Been great fun building it and now on too something with a few less mods!! Tks for looking. Dave B

They look great Rich, I appreciate the extra work that has gone into the 49. You obviously have too much spare time on your hands, time to start the 2H!! Dave B

Looks great Pierre, tks for posting Dave B

Great pair of builds Shawn, you're a very talented guy doing all the extras yourself. Dave B

The complete set of Motor Racing Replica News/ Motor Racing Models was reissued on CD, with the permission of Mike Quarterman a little while back but I can't remember who arranged it, one of the "known" modellers I recall. Dave B

Nice looking build. The only apparent problem with the decals is they appear to have yellowed. Dave B

Another beauty Rich, tks for sharing. Dave B

Great build Pierre, I'm looking forward to seeing your 275P Dave B

Looking good to me Pierre, keep the updates coming. Dave B

Looks great Gary, tks for posting. Dave B

How good is that Rich. Love these kits, just don't want another scale to build. Dave B

Finished the interior. Scratch built roll cage similar to the Moffat/KarKraft cars, photo etched window winders and home made photo etch door pulls and switch box. Body has had a couple of initial coats of paint. Will be posted "under glass" within a couple of weeks, all going to plan. Tks for looking. Dave B

Another great build Pierre, you just keep them coming. Dave B

They're great builds Alan, tks for posting. Dave B

You, out of the box, I'll believe that when I see it. Dave B

Tks for the update Randy, your skills continue to amaze. Dave B

Hi Pierre, yes, have some resin DCOE's and removed the fuel bowl. Pretty ordinary but it works when looking down, the trumpets are ferrules. Dave B

Looking really good Mike, I wouldn't relish working with a diecast model. Dave B

Finally got the Kar Kraft rake how I want it and have finished the webered 302. Dave B

Wheels look good Pierre, hope this helps re oil cooler Dave B

Ah Pierre, I shall be following this closely, I'm sure you will correct the errors and end up with a great build as usual. Dave B

Lance Reventlow entered a T61 Cooper powered by an aluminium V8 at Sandown Park in Australia for a one off formula libre race. I'm pretty sure it remained in Aus but converted back to Coventry power Dave B

Looking good Gary, can't wait to see it "under glass". Dave B
