[Scale-Master]

Marsh Models 1/43^rd kit. Tamiya paint, pretty much OOB, except for adding the windows that did not come in the kit.

looks nice

[Danno]

Sweet.

[Crazy Ed]

The detail you pull out of those tiny kits is amazing.

[Crazy Ed]

"Why is the steering wheel on the right?"

The majority of the Prototype cars of that era were Right Hand Drive, even the American Chaparral Cars and Ford GT's. One of the exceptions was the Shelby Cobra Daytona.

[Dr. Cranky]

Nice build.

[Crazy Ed]

Thanks Ed for a serious answer.

This is actually a semi-inside joke here. The reason I put it in quotes is a...I'll be nice and say "dimwit"...poster on another board always asks inane questions, and uncorked that one as his only thoughts on Mark's build. I was hoping that Mark would have responded with "because it's not on the left" but he was too kind for that, I guess.

So the Right answer shoulda been something like - Well Duhhh, Because it ain't Upside down! Sheeeesssss......................

I was expecting an answer such as "because the steering wheel should be on the same side as the shifter and the seat belts".

Intersting. I'm working on a Porsche 911 GT1. Photos I 've found show right and left hand drive versions.

And before we get way off-topic here - Nice Build, Scale-Master!

simply amazing !

[customsrus]

amazing build

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys. The humorous answers about the wheel are better than I had come up with. I was going to go with "Because the real car had it".

The GT1 was available as LHD or RHD, as were many street cars derived from these race cars.

In your WIP write-up you said you did the side windows from flat stock. Did you form the windscreen the same way or didi you vacu-form it?

[GeeBee]

That turned out one very nice Ferrari 300 P4

[Rob Hall]

Sharp build...love the sports car racers of that era.

The windshield is flat stock also, not vac-u-formed.

[Steve Keck]

The windshield looks great. I thought it was vacu-formed.
