This is bloody kool. I love it. I have a similar kit by dad built when he worked at a hobby shop in '63 but his is a chopped coupe. Your father truly was a master!!
Thanks Trevor, I at times feel like I have to live up to his work especially the racing stuff, but he says I am better, but I think it is a matter of several decades of separation thats all.. I am proud of what he did and from time to time still take this and enter it in shows.. just to see the response..
Chris, your work is amazing!! A couple decades don't hurt for sure. I wish I had the dedication to finish something, I'm so easily distracted by new projects.
Jack, sorry it took me a while to get back to you, it is about 1/16th scale. I met a guy on line who collects tether cars and he has a few of these 57 Belond Spl. that he had made up, we worked out a deal for me to build a detailed tether car/model of one but I havent heard from him for a few weeks.. He sais he had one or two for sale, if I can get a hold of him I will see what Ican do for you.... Chris
Thanks, there is a 4 page article on the build in Model Car Builder magazine issue#5 (www.magcloud.com key word model cars) this was a fun build with a lot of memories of being in the real car with Briggs Cunningham many years ago...
Thanks roy, My PC is down so I cant access my reference pics so until such point I have put this project on hold, I also am adressing some body fit problems and am in contact with Koysho Hiro to get that solved. More to come in a few weeks.. Thanks Again Chris
