Another cracking model. Bravo! Trevor

Spotted yesterday at The Lincolnshire Show. First, this very neat Mk1 Cooper S Historic Racer; And, at the opposite end of the size and agility scale, this Ford Galaxie 500 Skyliner. Trevor

Nice work with intake in the rear screen. Trevor

The Citroen looks lovely. Yesterday lunchtime, coming out of Tesco in Sleaford, a blue Renault Spyder and, later, on the A17, a yellow Caterham. Trevor

That all looks very nice indeed. Great job. A Howmet, you say? That would be a great choice. Trevor

Great job of applying the decals. Never easy over compound curves, scoops and intakes, etc. Love the wheels as well. Trevor

That has turned out nicely. great work, well done. Trevor

An interesting story of an interesting (if forgotten) Le Mans racer. You're making rapid progress, and I look forward to future updates. Great work so far, and the colour is just lovely. Trevor

Yes, it's still being published. I get the Le Mans special each year from GPM. Trevor

I have quite a few issues of Pit Road magazine. Another good source for reference material and "hints and tips". 1/43 does appear to be in the shadows, despite the huge variety of kits there were manufactured. A number of the smaller companies (and some of the larger ones) have dropped by the wayside, sad to say. Trevor

I agree, there are so few new kits these days but, much like Keith, I have more than enough to keep me occupied for quite some time. The printed FSW magazines were really good for the hints, tips, and build articles by Wayne Moyer. Lots of good stuff in them, and sadly missed. Trevor

That looks so much better than the plastic kit part. Nicely done! Trevor

Have to agree with Jeroen. Great skills on display. I'm thinking that "truck exhaust systems" is a fairly niche search request! Trevor

If you can find it it, look out for the Testors version of Italeri's A-4M kit (Testors kit number 271). It may get re-released amidst the hype for the new film. It includes a decal sheet by ScaleMaster with markings for the Jester A-4E from the original film (plus markings for the final A-4M built when operated by VX-5). Granted, the decals aren't applicable to an A-4M, but I used them on an Esci kit and they were accurate and well printed. I'll try and find a photo of the finished model. Trevor

GPM have, as Keith says, been going for ages. They are my primary source for the detail parts on my 1/43 models. Trevor
