Been building this for a while. It has not been a happy build, I did everything wrong & then to top it off fitting the body onto the chassis & keeping the wheels anywhere need the deck was difficult, for me anyway. Be interested in any other comments from people who have built this kit!! Anyway it does look half decent in the display cabinet. Tks for looking Dave B

That's a great build, especially the opening doors. Dave B

Beautiful build Eric, I'm sure with your skills you could convert a coupe to the winning spyder Built this years ago, Cady decals and vacformed screen. It's not perfect but would reasonable sitting beside yours Dave B

Just a rear view of same Tks for looking Dave B

Tks guys, appreciate the comments Dave B

Two of the pics are not quite right. I'm not sure why this is, it appears to have occurred during uploading to Photobucket, sorry. Thanks for looking Dave B

I've had these built for quite a while. The plain red 365GTB is a Fujimi Enthusiast kit. It has been built box stock with the exception of engine wiring, I'm pretty sure the seat belt hardware is out of the kit. The yellow 365GTB/4 is a fictitious competition car. It is a rebuild of a cheap Japanese curbside I had pulled apart. All the competition mods were done with white & clear styrene. The wheels & tyres were from the parts box. A couple of more pics to follow Dave B

Didn't post this one originally due to the mesh in the rear cooler not be square. Have yet to correct it. Dave B

Tks guys, appreciate the comments. Ed - Don't have a rear end pic at the moment. Basic rear suspension, exhaust pipes & out of scale gearbox that I shortened & added a cast Fujimi Ford GT Mk11 to the end. Will take a pic next weekend & post. Bob - Scale is 1/24th. Pretty accurate body wise but interior, motor etc not that good as it allows for batteries, electric motor, gears, etc. Dave B

I was lucky enough to have a mate of mine pick up this along with a Nissan R382 Gp 7 car for me. Both are old motorised kits manufactured by Otaki but build in to reasonable models. I had to make the wheel centres for the Toyota as it came with the Nissan wheels, cheaper to manufacture that way I guess. I scratch built one centre, moulded it and then cast 4. I cut out the incorrect wheel centre and epoxied these into place. The decals were ###### so my same mate that found the kits for me also made me the decals (thanks again Phil K). Finished in auto acrylic pure white & a home mixed dark blue, clear coated & polished out. Tks for looking Dave B

Looks good Ian. I wouldn't mind one of these to build Geoghan's black one. I can still picture it crossing Long Bridge at Longford race track!!! Dave B

Tks guys, comments greatly appreciated. Ed, I thought I counted the guages & got the quantity right, depending on the pic. Problem is they are a little large. The correct front wheels was 'take 2' in correcting 'minor' issues. Who knows, when I retire (shortly!!) I may fix the dash. Tks again Dave B

Built this one many years ago using the plans in MRRN. I used 0.010", 0.025", 0.040" styrene & 0.040" aluminium sheet. Decals are by Fred Cady. I have recently bought a Fisher Model & Pattern Chaparral 2F so I copied a set of fronts for the 2J. These have now replaced the Cox Chaparral 2 rear slot car wheels I previously used. Dash board is a little crowded but I'm loathe to pull it apart now, think I will have to live with it. Tks for looking Dave B

Nice build Steve, nice to see one built well. As as a basic kit they're a great starting point and with a little research build into a nice model. Dave B

Nice build of an awkward kit Cliff Dave B

NIce build Chris, congrat's Dave B

Reminescent of one B Jane's Jag. Nice build Shawn Dave B

Beautiful job Chris, would like that in 1/24. Could always try & convert a SMER GP car I guess! Dave B

Beautiful job Chris, thanks for posting. By sheer coincidence I looked at this kit on Brianza'a website last week, just a little expensive for me though. Tks again Dave B

He's a very lucky boy to have you as a step dad, nice one Chris Dave B

Another pair of nice builds Walter. I don't think Jim ever got over being booed, it still gets a mention from time to time. Not very Aussie, just too many drunk Holden & Ford fans at the start finish line!!! Pretty ordinary display. I'm Ford by the way Dave B

Neat build Walter, saw that run at Baskerville & Symmons. Dave B

Tks for the comments guys, appreciated. I backcast the body of a 'scale' Lancer vacform slotcar body that was issued back in the late 60,s-70's. I then lengthened it in front of the rear wheels to correct the wheelbase. The wheels are based on the Indy Lotus car but I modifiied them. The whole car is a combination of bits I either modified and moulded & cast or scratchbuilt. The interior is aluminium sheet & styrene. It's only a curbside, not that keen to scratchbuild the Repco & complete rear end!! I pulled a couple of more bodies out of the mould for myself (to build myself the Buick V8 original version) & a mate over here but it is now split, it was only a slush mould anyway not a two piece. As for the colour I'm sorry but it is home mixed, a similar colour would be Zircon Green, used on the '68 XT Falcon's over here. It's 1/24 scale Hope this has answered everyone's comments Tks Ed, I'll have to look up why it wasn't sent the following year, I thought it was going to be illegal but could be wrong. I was aware that it was a 'anything goes' series so should have checked first. Have heaps of info I need to go through, will send you a PM. Tks guys Dave b
