lambrakos Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Try to build one decades ago! Never finished it and lost it on one of many moves! But being nostalgic I bought a few for my stash! Maybe someday I will finish one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Forever flash fettling and filing is a thing I can remember with those old Hubley hybrid die cast and plastic kits! But with a bit of work can produce nice models like this restoration project has shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
