Six97s

The green one is a '42 (rare) or more likely a '46 or early '47. The red one looks like it has vent windows (I think?), so that would make it '51 or '52. Both styles were in production concurrently as they changed over in 1947.

I like that lime green one.

I'm guessing Bobbiie (sic) is a hairdresser or an "aesthetic" practitioner. No offence intended to any hairdressers present...

The Revell kit is the old Protar tooling. IIRC, it was based on one which had been crashed and rebuilt, which is why the rear end is more squared off.

Voted. As expected, I failed to finish, but I had fun and I'll get it done eventually. Next time, maybe a simple 1/72 kit.

Two today. A K-reg Avenger in Sundance Yellow (appeared to be a GL, not a Tiger) and a red '59 Cadillac convertible parked up in Exhall.

Mixed bag again today: two Triumph Herald convertibles (one BRG/white stripe and one red); a white Stag; a bright green Lamborghini (Aventador, possibly); a yellow, rubber bumper Midget; a red Spifire; a green Mk2 Avenger estate; a late MkIV Sprite and a silver Ferrari 612. Yesterday, saw a red Sunbeam Alpine series IV or V and some kind of "supercar" roadster/spider - could have been a newer Ferrari, but no idea, sorry. It was dark metallic red and if I saw another I might recognise it, but wouldn't count on it. New cars don't do a lot for me... Also passed a van enthusiast's house with an assortment of six Chevy, GMC and Dodge vans parked outside.

After it's had some chocolate chipping and weathering, nobody will know.

Not that I need to buy any more, but is there a run down anywhere on which of the Fujimi Porsches have engines and which are (ick) "curbside"? There are so many versions and prices are all over the place, so it leaves me mightily confused.

Those were '66 models.

Joining the Mustang GB? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235080914-another-mustang-stgb-ford-mustang-10-july-to-10-oct-2021/

No photos, because I was driving, but the last couple of days spots included a 1972/3 BMW 3.0 coupe in red, a Reliant Rialto being driven rather enthusiastically, a Riley Elf/Wolseley Hornet (not close enough to tell), a 1966 Dodge Monaco and today, one of those ugly Bentley SUVs.

I like those Galaxies. They're not all that accurate because the body was converted from the LTD hardtop, so the roofline isn't quite right and it still has the LTD interior. Even stranger, a Boss 429 engine. They look nice built up though. The Mustang is the old MPC annual that's been reworked a few times (last backdated from '73 to '71 and refined a bit for this reissue with a better grille and front bumper), so the engine is wrong in that one too (originates from the '69 annual and those engines were dropped after 1970). Looking forward to seeing these.

No, I can see I was mistaken now I've viewed it full size.

Ford Falcon in the Scimitar photo? I like the Healey, but that black and red colour scheme is revolting.

Yuck. All these things look the same to me... so forgettable. I used to tease my wife for saying things like "it was a silver car" but now I understand.

Since nobody else has replied, I'll have a go. You'll probably get a better response in the WWII subforum in the AFV section. The IBG kit looks to have this sort of arrangement with the pipes running along the outside, although having found photos of some with three hooks, none had three booms fitted: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Second_world_war_Royal_Air_Force_Bedford_QL_aircraft_re-fueling_truck.jpg The Airfix kit has the pipes feeding the booms running down the top of the tank. Since they're not visible in your photos, I'd guess it was plumbed the same way. This Hobby Master kit has the same plumbing: http://kitrescue.net/images/DSC_0017.JPG

I must be getting old, I quite like that mustardy Daimler Sovereign.

It was a Monogram kit and originally produced with a diecast body. I built the '56 T-Bird from the same series years ago and that was relatively simple. It shouldn't be as fiddly as the ex-Aurora kits. I like the sound of the tuned up version. Never liked the look of the spats on these, but worse still are whitewalls...

Thanks. Yes, it's a 6120 Vintage Select '59. The most expensive guitar I've bought, but It was worth it. The workmanship is flawless, it's set up perfectly and it's surprisingly versatile. I wouldn't normally buy new, but I think these latest ones are a cut above.

Another fun fact: the 1958 Fury was only available as a two door hardtop, and only in beige with gold anodised trim inserts.

A birthday present to myself...

Started on the chassis. Rear suspension is done and the front spring mounting crossmember is in place. No great surprise, the widened engine no longer fits, so the mounts must be repositioned 2mm further apart. Looking at it here, I think the moulded-in oil filter might be better represented with some plastic rod.

It's a 1959 Fury. The side trim gives it away - the trim on a Belvedere doesn't extend as far forward and the insert is shallower.

I'm not sure my description can do this one justice: a Granada Scorpio limousine, silver with a black vinyl roof but now sporting multicoloured vertical stripes. I'll see if I can get a photo tomorrow.
