Interesting variety, Bill - I already admired your JB DB5 in the die-cast section- did you use it's wheels for the Burago 275 GTB/4?

Excellent other builds, especially the Ford vs Ferrari models - the P4 with P3 alloy wheels!

Yes, I needed a set to replace the broken wheels that were on the 275 GTB/4 when I bought it, and had several left over from the Aston Martin. So Bburago got Danbury Mint wheels, Danburry Mint got Tamiya wheels, and the Tamiya Jaguar will be getting a set of aftermarket steelies - everyone gets an upgrade! ?

I have the 330 P4, someday......

It's a really nice kit, one of those that you can just about shake the box and it goes together. Getting the windshield to fit was the hardest part, and I think most of that was self-inflicted.
