I am switching my focus from slotcars to 1/24, 1/25th scale models of racing and endurance cars such as Can Am, Lemans, Trans Am and SCCA up until 1971 ish, even a few GP cars as long as it doesn't have wings or other gee-gaws. First photo is just the Porsches, most of these were raced or at least run a bit, some tweaked, some stock and the lovely NSR Martini 917 never run. Most are in excellent shape and I can provide more details on request. Trades Only! I am in Canada (Chilliwack BC) so shipping to the US can be a giant pain in the ass.

I have been buying a lot of Indycal stuff lately. The decals are excellent and also very pleased with the tire sets and Lotus 29 correction set. Tire ring decals look very good too.

Yes exactly, after seeing your builds I ordered Boranis from him. Astounding quality, great guy and great service too. Very Affordable. Thanks for the wheel pics, I think I will do the same.

I will be really looking forward to this build Pierre! Have you got Justin started on wheels and tires yet?

Nicely done so far, looking forward to watching your progress

Chilliwack BC West IS best after all! 😛

Looking for a scan of the Union instructions for the Heller Alpine 210. This was re-issued by Union and the instructions are usually superior to the original. I have the AMT release and the instructions are not great and there are no colour call outs at all. Thanks in Advance, Gord

Nice clean build. The Bleriot is an aircraft I am fairly obsessed with, ever since I built the Frog and InPact kits when I was a boy. I became especially interested when I discovered that there was actually two of these flow in Canada by Count Jacques de Lessups. Count deLessups later founded an airmail service along the Gaspe and included Shrek FBA 17 flying boats! Cool stuff!. Waiting in my stash are two Frog, 1 Novo, two Renwall Aeroskin, a Blue rider Bleriot X! Artelerie (sp?) and an amazing Chorozy Modelbud kit. I will be building one of the Frog or Novo kits this year as a warmup for a Renwall Aeroskin.

Thanks again for the welcome, I am really enjoying following the builds on here.

Very nicely done, from what I consider the last really great era of Nascar.

Thanks for the welcome and happy to be here!

My name is Gord and I am a model 'holic. Long time builder and collector, mostly aircraft and armour with a few monsters on the side. I have re-discovered a passion for 60's race cars, mostly Endurance, Can Am and a bit of Trans Am too, and anything Gilles Villeneuve. My last vehicle model was the then brand new Tom Daniels Garbage Truck. I had to have those groovy dudes and the scuba tanks. Of course I was a huge Sea Hunt fan too. Current projects are a Monogram Glue Bomb 275P (for which I need to replace all the shattered clear parts, and the Heller Alpine A210. And a 1/35 Asuka Sherman III of the Sherbrooke Fuseliers, !/72 Hasegawa CF-104 and a 1/72 Finemolds F-4D Phantom. And I really need to finish my Frankenstein kit. Cheers

I was given a Monogram Ferrari 275p and managed to get most of it apart and cleaned up. But the windshield and head light covers were un-recoverable and in fact shattered. Anybody have a spare (and no need to be perfect set) of clear ish parts? Gord TIA
