[Jaguar XJR-9-LM - 1/24 Hasegawa]

I love this model,think it's really well finished. How were the decals? Older Hasgawa decals were not very nice to deal with,Chris.

[More 1/43- BMW M1's]

Thanks Cooper 645,all present and correct now! I do have a Map of France car lined up next,the body has been sprayed,just a simple decal job now ha ha! Chris.

[More 1/43- BMW M1's]

Thanks for comments,sorry but I will add a couple more,and pics of the real grp.5 cars,the wide body ones that is.photo torn out of Autosport magazine from 1981,but not Le Mans. Thanks for looking,Chris.

[What CAR/BIKE kits have you recently bought 2?]

Yes,and the orange is for every single Jagermeister sponsored racecar! 

[More 1/43- BMW M1's]

Thanks Keith and Trevor,and Spiny? I think the big one is group 5 but not quite sure as Le Mans change their classes almost every year. Yes and it's lucky that I like decalling,love the BMW M1 and art cars generally- which means a lot of decals....might add a picture of the real car tomorrow. Chris.

[1/43 Chaparral 2E, Can-Am 1966]

Nice car,from the golden age of Can Am racing. The figure's come out nice,looks very 60's!  Chris.

[More 1/43- BMW M1's]

Two BMW M1 cars,the fat one is from Le Mans 1981 and is a very old Record resin kit;must have been produced in 1982 or 3. The normal M1 is a diecast Solido car completely dismantled and redone from scratch. A bit of too much sun on the roof of the car,it was too sunny! Chris.

[Sir Stirling Moss 1929-2020]

I showed this car in the what is your latest purchase thread.It's  not a Revell one I didn't know they made one,this is a 1/24 metal kit. Looks like I put in the wrong thread now,but I'm quite new here. Chris. R.I.P. Stirling

[Scale thinking?]

Tamiya definitely started the 1/20 scale F1 kits,l think the reason was that the radio control cars were 1/10 scale,so easy to halve for the the kits. I've got obsessed with 1/24 F1 kits which to my mind makes more sense. Also I agree about tanks etc. Why would they be in 1/72 or 1/76? Not so long ago I purchased a Cararama red Land Rover it  says 1/72 to go with a Red Arrows Hawk I had built. It looked a bit big so I bought an Oxford diecast Red Arrows Land Rover in 1/76 it goes perfectly in scale and is half the size of the 1/72 one! 

[Toyota 93C-V]

Very good result,as others have said it's good to see a 1/43 kit on display too. 

[Vanwall 1/43]

Hi Paul.thanks for looking. I would love to see your Dads pictures,and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in this! What team do you work if it's not too much to ask? Have you been laid off at all? Chris.

[What CAR/BIKE kits have you recently bought 2?]

Recently picked this up from eBay at a bargain price,its beatiful I think. Winning Mercedes of Sir Stirling Moss and Dennis Jenkinson- 1955 Mille Miglia,his greatest race? This a 1/24 heavy metal model,signed as well! You can still buy this as a kit now by K and R Replicas . Enjoy below,Chris. + Thanks for looking.

[1/43 Senna McLaren MP4/5.]

A lockdown completion,this is a 1/43 metal kit by Racing 43,one of my favourite kit companies. I'm sure this is a 1990 F1 car.Hope you like! Chris.

[Fabric seat belts]

I use Kristal Klear, it's  a Microscale  product I think. Should be available everywhere in normal circumstances. It takes forever to dry but doesn't damage anything and dries transparent. Personally I think Pattex and Bostik are just rubbish.....

[Vanwall 1/43]

Thanks for all the  nice positive replies! I did struggle with the photo hosting but got there in the end,last time I did this was in 2009....

The figure is an Omen Miniatures,ready painted but I did repaint some of it,and I know that he wore brown shoes! They started as o gauge railway figures then made quite a lot of race drivers,I only have Mike and Jim Clark.Its not a Merit kit kit,that would be twice as big at 1/24. More to follow I hope soon. 

[Vanwall 1/43]

My first ready for inspection,I hope it's not too big! This is the Jade 1/43 resin kit,Mike Hawthorn and his Vanwall from the French G.P 1956.

[1956 BRM type 25 Formula 1 - 1/24 scale]

Wow,this is excellent!  I have the this model too,but mine is still like your first picture . I'm very impressed.Did you use Jaguar D type wheels?  Agree about the Merit kits.

[Hello from Palermo, Sicily]

Welcome Beppe,we need more car modellers! though I do attempt also to make some airplanes too.We were due to go on holiday to just outside Palermo next month..British Airways have just told us the flights cancelled. Chris.

[Ford GT, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Chip Ganassi Racing]

Love the real car and the kit is definitely on my wishlist! I found an article about this very kit in Scale Auto magazine found in WHS,December 2019. There's also a few alternative decal sheets out as well,that's in the mag too. You've made a very nice model.

[Hello from me]

Hi Daniel,welcome from another recent new person from Kent. Chris.

[Hello from Sleaford, Lincolnshire]

Thank you Trevor,I will try that very soon.

[Hello from Sleaford, Lincolnshire]

Hi Trevor,as another new person can I just ask what you use to post pictures? I used to be on Photo Bucket years ago but they are no good any more apparently.

[1/20 Tamiya Jordan 191]

Beautiful model of a beautiful car,the green is really nice. I recently bought the Wave 1/24 resin kit of this car. A Schumacher car? The blue is also very good too! 

[Hello from Kent]

Thanks to everyone for the welcome,I'm not the only one from Kent then! I just now need to put some photos on somehow. Cadwell sounds like a good racetrack,similar to Brands Hatch? 

[Hello from Kent]

I first went to Brands Hatch Boxing Day 1966,I still go now,love sportscar racing first I think. Also went to Crystal Palace circuit for the Formula 2 and 3 races,not forgetting the saloons for course -  Lotus Cortinas Ford Mustangs etc. I missed that Guards meeting unfortunately! Marsh Model cars are the best..
