    Fujimi 1/24 Ford GT40 Mk.11 - 1966 LeMans winner

    More done today , I have gone with GoodYear tyres - there are alternative Firestone decals in the kit . Another interesting part of the race story was that although Bruce McLaren was contracted to Firestone , these proved not as quick as the GoodYears that the other Fords were using so he...

    Fujimi 1/24 Ford GT40 Mk.11 - 1966 LeMans winner

    I have made a start , all pretty straight forward. The wheels should be gold , not sure why the box shows them in silver. The seat belts were fiddly but look OK I think . The real thing below .

    Fujimi 1/24 Ford GT40 Mk.11 - 1966 LeMans winner

    After a couple of motorcycle builds and having recently watched the Ford v Ferrari movie , I spotted this model and decided to give it a go . For those who are interested , this car only won by default - the result should have seen Brit Ken Miles win , along with co-driver Denny Hulme , but...

    Mike Hailwood's TT winning Suzuki RG500

    This is now finished - been tough as it was a very old, poor kit which I chose to change from a 1977 Barry Sheene bike to a 1979 Mike Hailwood bike from the Isle of Man TT - his 14th and final win there . The build is here in construction . Rotten Box - Rotten Kit ! Matchbox 1/12th Suzuki...

    Rotten Box - Rotten Kit ! Matchbox 1/12th Suzuki RG500

    Nearing completion of the bike now , reasonably happy with it , but the body work is proving very hard to get a nice finish . The decals are for the Tamiya model and these are slightly different in size and accuracy compared with the older poor quality Matchbox version ....... I will do my...

    Rotten Box - Rotten Kit ! Matchbox 1/12th Suzuki RG500

    With my limited experience and resources, I am not going to attempt , drilling discs or fitting the small wings (spoilers) on the fairing that were not around on Sheene's bike. I have got a front slick tyre to replace the old treaded one that came with the kit , and will start by stripping off...

    Rotten Box - Rotten Kit ! Matchbox 1/12th Suzuki RG500

    I spotted this old kit on Ebay , with full explanation of it's condition , so bought it with an upgrade in mind ...... As the decals were clearly useless, I decided on trying to convert it to as near as I could get to Mike Hailwood's 1979 Isle of Man Senior TT .His last ever win on the Island...

    1/6 scale police Harley davidson

    I must admit Harleys aren't my thing , although I rode my mate's Fat Boy and was surprised how fast it was ! . You are obviously Ray , with your forum handle . I could fancy building this one though, as it does look fun ! Good work so far ........
