That looks like a fun rebuild, I'll be keeping an eye out for it. Do you plan on posting in the WIP section? David G.

The interior looks great as does the paint on the body, love the color! David G.

That works quite well Jim. David G.

It's coming along quite nicely. David G.

Nice one! Especially for a quick build. David G.

Fabulous work on the weathering! David G.

The paint looks good, so does the lighting. A question on the lighting. The power source is in the base and works by induction to light the LEDs in the car with no physical connection between the car and the base? 😮 If so, that's really cool! David G.

Hello Everybody! I'm in the midst of a little push to see if I can get my P-61 Black Widow completed for the year so most of my bench time has been devoted to that. Even still, I've managed to get a little work done on other builds; namely my 1937 Cord. A quick color check. Tamiya TS-93 Pure Blue with Tamiya TS-7 Racing White for the interior. I like the blue but I'm not entirely sure about the white. I'm thinking about something a little darker... a little creamier. The blue is pretty much locked in but I'm open to suggestions for the interior. I want a light color. Off-white, no tan or black. Maybe a pale blue... maybe. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post your comments. David G.

I've always to try one of the larger scale builds but I just haven't found any one car that I like enough to make that kind of investment. Thanks for following along Russ, I'll try not to disappoint. That sounds like a nice experience Daniel. David G.

Thank you Keith. I wasn't sure at first but now it seems to be a good choice. David G.

Here's the link to the finished build, if you're interested. Thanks =D-

Given the effort going into this rear bumper, I'm guessing that it'll be the one? David G.

Wow Daniel! So many little details that I would never think of. I'm guessing that you've built real world competition cars. David G.

Hello Everybody! I've decided on the nose art! It's probably not historically accurate in any way but it's certainly not unprecedented. Historical accuracy is not really what I'm going for with this build. This build is more of a nostalgia trip than anything else and this nose art is something I would have done "back in the day". Besides, who doesn't love a good shark-mouth? Adding the canopy balances it out a little better visually. I had considered drawing the missing details in the gap between the decals. But I decided to leave it as is rather than taking a chance of messing up what I already have. That's all for this update. As always, please feel free to post any comments you have and thanks for taking the time to look. David G.

I'm not sure how I missed this one but now that I've found it and I'm all caught up, all I can say is... Wow Anton! You have some amazing mods going on with this! More than just mods, it's a complete overhaul, like a 1:1 Pro Street. Excellent work so far, great looking pant too. David G.

Thanks for the link Anton, I'll have a look at it later. =D-

Jimmmmm Staaaaaahp! Okay, so now the high-boy bumper has something with which it works. Is there such a thing as too many options? =D-

Very Cool! I like the carpet and detail painting on this one too. Is this a current project? =D-

I have a milk frother I bought a while back to mix my morning cocoa. But the switch was too awkward for it to be easily used for its intended purpose so I was trying to think of some way of using it as a mini-tool of sorts. The biggest challenge is adapting the motor unit to accommodate the tools. I'll have to start checking Staples and other office supply stores to see if I can find a tool with which to replicate the one you've made. Thanks for the tip Daniel! BTW great progress on the build too! David G.

I think the only bumper I don't like is the high-boy style one. It's the only one that doesn't seem to fit with the body style. I've always been a fan of overriders but I'm not sure they work all that well with this car's shape. They're okay but they'll need to be paired with the proper grille and I haven't seen any good matches in the photos presented. In the end, stuff like this is a matter of consensus of opinion. Now you have my opinion from which to start building the consensus! Although.... maybe the overriders will work with the "big tooth" grille... hmmmm... 🤔 David G.

Nicely done Anton! With the keys, the magazine and the driver's door slightly ajar, the scene kind of tells a story. The owner is waiting in the queue at track day and he steps out for a moment to chat with a fellow participant, having set aside the magazine he was reading while waiting. Of course the race authorities don't want drivers idling their cars while they wait, so the keys are on the dash. Very cool! Thanks for the post Anton. David G.

Thank you Keith. It is a good kit, if just a little basic. With the axle bushings, battery box and hole in the chassis for the power switch, one can really see its origins as "toy build" kit. Thank you much Len. Thank you Brian. I do tend toward the more unusual subjects. Thank you most kindly Mario. Thanks to everyone for your kind and thoughtful feedback David G.

That's cool Chris! I don't have a lot of RHD builds so when a kit offers the option, I'll usually take it. Like I did with the Revell '68 Beetle. I even gave it contemporary Aussie NSW number plates! Thanks for the post Chris! =D-

I'm not really surprised by that Chuck. Your builds are often so rich with detail that it takes most people a couple of passes to take it all in. Some folks probably don't even see many of the details consciously, their brain just files it all under the "Wow, that looks so real!" category. I always enjoy seeing your work out in the wild Chuck, thanks for sharing a bit of it here. =D-

Thank you James. I would have liked to see one of these in person. Thank you Chris. Thank you Jim. I didn't do a lot but apparently it was enough . Thank you David, I do tend to like the odd ones. Thank you kindly Brian. Thank you very much gray07! Good luck with the pro street build. Be sure to post some photos, I'd love to see it. Thanks Dan, I appreciate that. Thanks again everybody! I'll probably have a few more photos to post closer to the weekend. David G.
