Been having a lot of fun and made a few nice purchases in the last few weeks:  A couple of cheap RS500s off eBay, one to be the kit "Texaco" scheme, the other to go into a RooDecal "Shell" scheme, a Fujimi Z4 GT3 to eventually go into the Marc VDS scheme (when I get my hands on a...

Very nice Alex and I have to say, it looks even more stunning in real life, though with it at the back of the table I had missed the Shell oil can!

Nice one

Hi Greg Studying the pics it looks to me that the car ran in the race with 2 driving lamps (in the grille), probably without covers in the race or at least after the first stint or two and without dive-planes - maybe a trial item during practice but dropped for the race? Is the jacking point that yo...

Found some more here - looks like the car had "dive-planes" fitted at some time in the race. Maybe at the beginning as it looks like one is damaged in one of these pics?

He just made it past the 50th anniversary of his Le Mans win and (hopefully) witnessed the Ford GTs repeat history this year. I have just finished reading AJ Baime's "Go like Hell" and all I can say is he came from an era of real heroes.

Sad, sad day.

Hello all - been away awhile, sorry for the absence Well, it's been about 3 yrs since I finished anything but finally here's one for you to look at. This is the Hasegawa 1/24 Toyota Corolla WRC, depicting it as run at the Monte Carlo rally in 1998. I chose to model the car as driven to victory by Ca...

Fabulous scheme, stunning execution - love it!

Cheers

Lovely job Alex and having seen both the real thing on our test track and your model up close I can vouch for the finish being pretty much there on the money. Nice job indeed! And it most certainly is a race car, very quick indeed through the corners - how? I also was completely gutted when it went ...
