Probably duplicated, but more photos.

There are more than 100 photos, so I didn't edit the orders. Sorry for that, you just have scroll down to get to the model parts...

The event is more than the model contest, this event is for car lovers!

Here is Kaz's Ferrari Expo update. He has been busy up in Seattle working on a big project at work.

I think the most work required on a 1/43rd model award should have gone to Spike for his Renaissance Mclaren F1 GTR. That thing looked very hard to build.

Carrera Pan America cars will be the special theme in 2011 at Ferrari Expo.

your too kind Tom, you know I still have the Porsche 911 GT1 supoer kit as well, although I'm in zero mood to start that for awhile, but who knows

but surprising, the kit went together fantastically, Renaissance did their homework on the kit, I think only the dashboard had to be thinned to be fit into the cockpit

cheers,
Steve
