Marcus, windows are tinted but there is a fair bit of reflection, should polish up ok. It's Otaki in 1/16th scale and a very old build. Will be red when finished, surprise surprise! Dave B

Helmut, I painted it that colour many years ago. I'm not sure what brand the 1/16th Lola wheels are. What outside diameter 1/24th wheels do you need, I might have some spare but I think they are 1/25th and may be a little small. Dave B

This will be interesting, a little early for my tastes but I'm sure you'll do it justice. Dave B

Thought it was time I restored my Stradale. It was built 45 odd years ago and has suffered through a few house moves. Brocken hinges, front steering glued solid, body cracked etc. The good news is I got it apart with no further damage except a broken steering wheel. Have already bushed the suspension so hopefully it will have steering and also collected the wheels I've had printed. I'll continue on this until my 1/24 DB4GT Zagato arrives next Tuesday, finger crossed. Dave B

This is my take on the mythical blue Stradale, the only Stradale ordered in a colour other than red. Sold new to the Italian aviation tycoon Count Corrado Augusta he not only ordered it blue but also had it fitted with the same style seats as fitted to his helicopters. 3D resin printed from a download file (thanks Phil) it was an affordable way to procure one of my all time favourite road cars. It's posted under this thread due to the chassis being the Tipo 33 race car chassis and it being hillclimbed by Corrado. The interior was modified to reflect the helicopter seats and the body finished in auto acrylic blue and clear coated. The printed rear injectors were replaced with something a little more realistic. The actual car was sold to a collector in Japan who painted it red. It was subsequently purchased by a European collector who has since had the Stradale returned to blue. Now to continue the restoration of my 1/16 scale Stradale prototype while waiting for my printed DB4 Zagato (sorry Phil, another one to print for me!!) Tks for looking. Dave B

Another exceptional build Chris, and it just happens to be one of my all time favourite colour schemes. They just looked so good back then!! Dave B

Great build Jim, I'm glad someone else found the rear framework a pain, I seem to recall giving up on mine!! Dave B

Pierre, that build is incredible, it's just so good. I have a basic Capri RS 2600 that I have thought of trying to improve but you've scared me off, just wouldn't be as good an improvement. Dave B

Great looking build Tim. Had this year's ago but it certainly wasn't as nice as yours. Dave B

Rich, appears to be the same kit but mine has vented rear guards which reflect the prototype? Found the tyres now need to procure wheels. After 45+ years it's a little broken but restorable. Dave PS, we have both wired the plug leads incorrectly, each distributor supplies each of the 8 cylinders. Have to fix mine!!

That looks great Rich, an incentive to rebuild my 1/16 after I finish the 1/24 that is!! Forgot it had so much detail, and you're right about the wheels and tires. Dave B

That looks really good Bruce, you should be pleased with the outcome. Look good on my shelf!! Dave B

Spectacular Pierre!!! Dave B

A great tribute Andrew. Dave B

Looks great Helmut, they are one of the prettiest sports racers of the period and yours has done it justice. Love it. Dave B

Looking good Helmut, you must be pleased, it's come a long way from when you posted the old green version on my P68 build!!!! Dave B

Another great build Matt, this one using the old, but great, Merit kit a basis. The wire wheels, and your modifications, make an enormous improvement. Dave B

Sorry, I missed the finished post, been away, that looks great Rich. All that time was worth it!! Dave B

Great builds Gary, I'm a sook, I've never attempted to carve a model from wood, they're exceptional! Dave B

Looking really good Bruce, had one way back when they were first released. Dave B

That's fantastic Matt, tks for posting the set!! Dave B

That pinstripe worked really well Helmut, congratulations. Dave B

Shawn, since you are printing your own panels are you going to include the pie cut nose? Dave B

Ah, Abarth, what a magician!! Looks good Pat, tks for sharing. Dave B

Rich, are you sure you're not pulling our legs and this is actually 1:2 scale!! Dave B
