Porsche 550 Spyder

[1959scudetto]

During a short break from my Ford P68 WIP, I got this Welly 550 Spyder:

a bit toylike, therefore a little Snake-Fu was necessary: some detail painting, home-made "Pierre leatherstraps", red flashes on the rear fenders, some period- correct decals from the spares (numbers from an old Fred Cady sheet) and a '56 Cal. license plate from the Galaxie Chevrolet - here is the result:

Looks good. What scale (or did I overlook it) ?

It is 1/24 scale (see headline).

Hi Helmut,

it really became a model with the additions. I have in scale 1:72 a one and a two seater racer #55 from Schuco. Have you considered a one-seat conversion ?

Hi Janos, not yet, maybe later. I got this one with a 20% discount, so I ordered it (from the photos I saw on the internet I was not so convinced of its proportions first, but it is workable)

Thank you Tim, a quick dress-up of a die-cast is a welcome variety and a lot of fun, too.
