Very nice build of this model Brendan. Where do you find these 1/43 scale sports car models?

I found this link on another forum and hope I'm doing this right so it can be opened here. These models are quite amazing, IMO. http://www.trackforum.com/forums/showthread.php?151266-Some-of-the-Most-Fantastic-Recreations-I-ve-Ever-Seen

While I'm not especially interested in Hudsons I plan on buying at least one when they come out. I want to help support a company that seems interested in offerlng something other than early '30s Fords and mid '50s Chevys. Oh, I'd also like the '64 Corvair Rampvan and Greenbrier.

I got into comfy and found it very difficult to read then couldn't figure out how to switch to something else. Thank you very much, Len and Johnny, for the answer.

In the description of the show it mentioned 1964 Chrysler turbine car and manual. I just watched it and no turbine, or any model car.

Very nice looking model.

#158 looks like a really good issue. The articles on building the SoCal lakester and on weathering the Fordson tractor are very interesting to me. Actually the entire issue is informative and entertaining. Harry, the design and layout of this isssue are great.

I would like to find some 1/24 or 1/25 scale tires for Land Speed Record models. They are rounded cross section, with no tread and relatively small in width (not like drag slicks). Are they available from somewhere or do they have to be scratchbuilt? How would you scratchbuild them? Thank you guys for any sources/information you can give.

A nicely built model with a really smooth looking matt paint job. Are the white designs decals or paint? It's beautiful.

I went to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona last weekend and saw several old (1;1) front engined dragsters. I noticed they all had parachutes mounted on them. When I used to go to Lions Drag Strip, a long time ago (late 1950s to the early 60s), they were not using parachutes. Just wondering, what year were parachutes first used on dragsters? I imagine they all have them now as a requirement for the nostalgic races they run at these days.

That is an amazing model, BEAUTIFUL!!!! If you have more models of Bonneville cars please post them. Thank you for showing this build.

The background looks real. The car looks ....ahh real so I'll say it's real, I think

Welcome back Bill. I've missed your interesting and informative input. It's good to take a break sometimes, glad you're back now.

Very Nice!!!!!

Very nice!!

Going by the looks of the tires and the hoses/chassis pieces hanging down under the front of the car, I'll say real.

Great tutorial Mike. Always nice to learn about new products and procedures we can use.

Very nice looking model.

I plan on going to this show. Last years Citrus Nationals was the first model show I'd been to in a long time and I enjoyed it a lot.

Nice to see such creative ideas put into a build. Really nice !!

Model

Yeah, the tailpipes and the gaps between the body panels, especially in the trunk area, say model. Also, the "bar" running from one tailpipe to the other is at an angle, not parallel to the ground. I vote Model, course I could be wrong.

These Real or Model contests are really good for pointing out all the small details that can be added to our models for more realism. Thank you for this continuing challenge Harry. Also, it's fun

Looks REAL to me, we'll see Friday

That is amazing detail for sure. All the tiny parts, mechanisms, and linkages that work, wow!!!
