Sorry to hear you had to sell it Gary. I was kind of hoping that I would read that you had kept it!! At least you have a nice model. Dave B

Great build Rich, had one of these but I seem to have misplaced it!! Dave B

Looks fantastic Pierre, all the hard work was worth it, tks for posting. Dave B

Tks for the offer Rich, luckily all the rear frame is still on the tree. Just have to replace the warped section when the time comes. Dave B

Down at my mates place the other week and he gave me an old Heller 917 that someone had started to build and then pulled apart. Front suspension is missing, tub and rear framework buckled. The beauty of it was it include an old resin Interserie body that is a reasonable copy of 917-026 so that's how it will be built. Have straightened the tub and made a suitable front end to hang the wheels off!!. I would love to paint it yellow with the red pattern work but it will probably end up in the red with yellow stripe version. The body has taken a fair bit of work to mate with the Heller chassis but it's getting there. Tks for looking. Dave B

Looks good Tony, love the A110 Dave B

Looks great Gary, did the E type also donate the front end chassis etc.? Dave B

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
