A long time ago , on another forum I saw this car done by Mike Quarterman. Being a big fan of the Martini livery I contacted Mike to see if his decals were still available. They were not. But I also found out he was a big fan of the livery too and sent me a photo of his collection. I sent him mine. It was a nice exchange. Eventually another member came forward and I was able to get a set. I also ordered a set of BBS wheels and tires and a Revell Jaguar XJ220 kit. I started the project but then lost interest as there was a lot of conversion work involved. So it has languished for the last 25yrs or so. As the model gods would say: if you have an idea, eventually someone else will either produce it or copy it. And that it is exactly what Italeri did. Bought the kit and just finished it. Below the pictures are the details of the build. Color on this is Tamiya TS26 white. Kit wheels were too small and didn't represent the BBS very well. So they were replaced with the wheels and tires I ordered for the other kit. they were cast by Perry's resisns of Canada. Business end of the Jaf. The tail lights are hidden behind the black grill. A nice feature. Stuffed in down there is a twin turbo-charged V-6 which gives this sleek bodied car a top speed of over 200mph. Decals on this kit were great. I was worried about the graphics but they fit and went on nice and smooth with minimal wrinkles. This is a version of the car that ran at the Silverstone Classic in July of 2014. Italeri did a great job on this kit and it was a very enjoyable build. Now..to find a spot in the case with all the other Martini cars.

Scania R143 Streamline Build (1/24 Italeri) This is my very first Truck build and i'm mighty excited to be doing this. I've so far started on the engine (which is beautifully detailed) and the main chassis or frame. I've chosen a gorgeous Silver on Black paint scheme i will be following (shown in the picture below). I don't like the stock paint scheme and livery so i'll make the new livery myself. WIP Pictures Inspiration:
