Very nice build of a cool car. I have a 1/24 kit of this waiting in the wings. When you consider motor cycles is where Honda got it's start, the transverse mounting of the motor should be no surprise.

nicely done.

Outstanding build and in process photos. I've always wanted this kit, now I must have it.....

Interesting...

Very cool. I've been considering this as well, with exactly the pieces you have chosen. The plans are great. I look forward to your continuing of this project. Jim

Very Cool!

Cool.

Wonderful job. The last of the truly pretty F-1 cars.

Been wanting to build this, but it seems the decals are no longer available..... Very nice job. BTW.

Outstanding.

Very nice work.

Where did you get the flares?

Sounds like fun projects. Makes me want to return to my still born 1983 US spec 944 I started, um, a long time ago.....

Interesting. Might be cooler with a vista style roof though....

Nice.

I have several of both the Testors and Hasegawa 944 kits. The Testors is faifly easy to convert to a US spec early 944 using one of the Monorgam 924 kits for the bumpers and early style dash. I've been working on one of these conversions off and on to replicate my very early 944. The cookie cutter wheels were a problem for a while till I ran across an obscure Revell 911 turbo kit that had OK examples of them. Turning the turbo motor into the non turbo one is a little tougher.....

The Flintstone body is a very specific race version. The rear deck is bumped up around the rear grills. Not too hard to correct if a racing version is what you're after.

Have fun. I've got two awaiting me.....

Great start!

Personally, I believe the market is bigger than you might guess. The Daytona Coupe is a bit of a holly grail. I lucked into seeing one at the Sebring 12 hours that had appeared in the week ends vintage race. I believe a company such as Tamiya of Fujimi would do quite well with this subject. It is not out of the question for either of them given the various vintage race cars they have already done.

Cool. I love this car also. The Sunoco 512 was MUCH better looking than the standard 512. Looking forward to the build.

It is marked as a 1/25th scale, but in that it seems to be very close in size toi the Hasegawa kit, Itg is closer to 1/24th than 1/25th.

The kit is still available from Hasegawa and comes in two flavors, stock and Rally. Nice curbside kit, and virtually spot on dimensionaly with the Revell two door, which makes it 1/24th, where as there 240z is woefully undersized body wise.

He did, and I believe he still does build.

Probably. The handling of the car in normal for is more like a train on rails...
