Latest Cheetah (and group shot)

[Webb]

I finished this one yesterday. Built it as a street Cheetah from a George Turner kit. The wheels and tires are from a Testor's '32 Highboy kit. Also added a disc and wheel knock off to hold down the spare tire. Paint is Duplicolor Oxford White without clear coat. I thought I'd also throw in a picture of the gang. The 43rds anyway. Sorry about the picture quality. Still struggling with a new camera!

I am starting to think you like these cars . This is a nice car and a nice collection .

[Peter Lombardo]

You sure have a thing for Cheetah's.....very nice collection...not a car you see modeled often...that is too bad because it was a great race car in it's day.....a lightweight, mid-engined Corvette, for all intents and purposes, to challenge the Cobra's new found success, from when Chevrolet couldn't race publicly. Very well done.

very cool

They all look great. We need a nice 1/25 scale model of that car that costs the same as the normal kits out there.

Great model of a seldom seen car! Nice work.

I second that !

Great collection of small scale Cheetahs ! I especially like the Cro - Sal Cheetah !

Thoose are some really nice cars, I like them!

[crazyjim]

Are there any 1/25 scale Cheetahs available anywhere? I remember clear plastic bodies for slot cars, but never a kit.

[cobraman]

I believe Mini Exotics (?) had a resin one in 1/25 for about 60 bucks or more. You can find one on the bay once in awhile.

[Webb]

Thanks guys! Yeah, I guess you can tell I like Cheetahs. It all started with a yellow H.O. slot car back in the sixties. There IS a 1/25th kit from Modelhaus for 60.00 plus 10.00 shipping. In My opinion, well worth the money when you consider the old Cox kits are going for more than 200.00!

Super clean build and very high standard of finish

[crazyjim]

Sixty dollars!? I'll pass for now.

Nice build, Chris, and a great looking collection!

Very nice. Love the Cheetah; use to draw them (or try too) on my school papers in the '60's

Nice collection of Cheetahs. I'd never heard of the George Turner kit. Looks a treat.

The Modelhaus Cheetah is 1/24 scale and based on the old Cox slot car racer.

I've got one here and while its very basic, and even a bit crude in detail, it has plenty of potential and will build up in to a decent replica.

Great build, I've always loved the Cheetah, it's the not overdone Cobra IMO, and a full detail 1/24 kit would be great to see!

[Webb]

I like the Modelhaus kit, but it does need a little extra attention. Here's one I did. Historic Racing Miniatures makes a full detail kit, but it's just too expensive, IF you can get one!

True, there is the HRM kit, Harold Bradford, but even though is technically still in production, is very tricky to get hold of one, and is not cheap, but very extensive full detail kit
