Matt Bacon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 After a discussion with @aurfalien, it occurred to me that any pictures I'd taken of this beastie back in 2011 were long lost on an ancient photo host, and predated a decent camera setup anyway. Since it's one of the rarer kits I've built and a less well-known car, while I had the camera out photographing other things I thought I'd do a re-shoot of it... best, M. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Matt...I have a 1/18 Diecast (Autoart) and a 1/64 slot car of this car. I would luv to get my hands on this beauty. You did a great job on this by the way. Is it a a resin kit. It is indeed a rare treasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Very nice Matt. Does K&R provide a complete chassis or is it more of a curb style model? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More curbside style, @Pierre Rivard. What you see in the pictures is pretty much what you get. There's a bit of a representation of lower suspension arms, but there's nothing in the body except the cockpit, and the engine is just the top section and some ancillaries. Nothing opens, and there are no chassis subframes, radiator or pipe-work. Don't go into it thinking it'll be like the Revell XKSS, for example, or Profil 24 D-Type... On the other hand, it is a striking looking car, and as-parked, looks very like the pictures I have of the real thing! best, M. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I almost forget why I love machines so much. But to see and hear this glorious beast doing what it was intended to do, especially after having been almost destroyed and then lovingly rebuilt, brings it all back.

Bainford Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Nice model, Matt. I didn't know these existed. I have seen this car in person on three separate occasions and each time I was stunned by it's wicked lines. It's one of those cars that makes you just yearn to jump in, fire it up, and have a go to see if it feels as good as it looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
