Good luck with the red one John! Chris.

For the pleasure of the eye is a very good description! A beautiful piece of real model making. Plus it's a Le Mans car.Chris.

I think your model is very smart,brave to do the stripes and you have a very good paint finish there. Chris.

Thanks all,and have now flooded the body with Klear to level it all out. Thinking about about finding a new bowl for decalling with too! Chris.

A big improvement! I like it,will you be leaving the windows open!? Chris.

More progress,it's nearly all decalling and correcting the decalling! It didn't go smoothly at all.There's a picture of my decal dish and it's not a very pretty sight,the big blue decals on both sides wouldn't bend at all so it's all been repaired with Tamiya blue paint and blue decal stripes. That took a quite a few hours work but I think it's all over now. The other pics now are really the top and bottom of the car,but there's still quite a bit of finishing off left to do. Chris.

All looking very good,I'm impressed with bare metal foil everywhere- a very fiddly job! I noticed too that the deadline is coming up ,it's October 1st.tommorow. Chris.

Some very nice cars there,my favourite is the Cosworth Merc. Chris.

Ditto to the above,that's a bit of real modelling! Chris.

Oh dear,I feel your pain with the decals. I believe Shunko decals do this car,it's a Lotus 78. High quality decals. All the best Chris.

Bare metal foil is very difficult to do,it's looking very good! Chris.

That's a really nice result,I love these Porsche's and have made a lot of 1/43 ones.its great to see a 935 in 1/24 that's not just a Martini one,there are so many variations on this car. Nu Nu or Beemax promised us a Pink Pig Le Mans GT car from Le Mans 2018. I'm still waiting! Can you put your pictures on for us all to see? Chris.

Another vote here for the Xtradecal sheets,they're very useful. I then smother the decal with Daco decal softener. Chris.

A very definite improvement on the parts provided,I've never actually seen an Ace resin kit it looks like a very base though. Chris.

Yes it is,shame about the radiator grille,I'd be a bit miffed if someone asked me if it's a Ford though.......Chris.

Went to the Goodwood Revival on Sunday for some great racing. Just a couple of pictures as my phone was playing up and ran down pretty quickly! The nail varnish coloured car didn't race,and no.31 is a 1931 Maserati Tipo 26M. It was pouring with rain when I took this. Chris.

If I see an MR2 I'll try and get a picture! Chris.

This could also be in the Mustang group build! I’ve just put the same Mustang decal on the roof of my model this evening. Chris

I would hazard a guess at Monaro as well,maybe racing in the Britcar series? I didn't know they had classic cars at Headcorn,in the last couple of years it looks as though they have been making more use of Headcorn airfield. Chris.

These pictures are a bit late - I'd almost forgotten that I went to Brands Hatch two weeks ago! It was the Porsche club GB meeting,quite a big event with obviously a hell of a lot of Porsche cars on show. I only took these few pics of the racecars as to be honest I'm not really a fan of Porsche roadcars and there were a lot of them...A small selection below. Porsche tractor,apparently there are three different tractor varieties. The black 956 Swap shop car is as raced at Le Mans in 1984. Chris.

Agreed! I've never been to Hamburg,and this looks like a very decent museum.Chris.

That's a beautiful Speedster! Where is this please? Is it Berlin? Chris.

What a fine build! It looks very complicated,just like the real thing. Chris.

Thats a very attractive model! A really good result,I think I remember seeing the real thing..Chris.

Beautiful model of a great little car! I love the contrast of the foil bodywork,which is highly appropriate and true to life and the chrome hubcaps. Chris.
