I doubt if Strada will come as he only does NNL's and shows in his area. I should be getting all the latest kits from him and another person to sell on consignment. I will also have some hard to find new kits for sale and a few new decals from Scale Designs. I have to say this show is more about the built models and real Ferrari's than vendors(some of the nicest built ups and Ferrari's you will find anywhere). I still manage to get some of the latest kits that nobody has in the USA for sale at the Expo

yeah its an awesome event with the coolest venue. though last year I didnt know anyone there and was basically entertaining myself looking at the builds and ferraris

F1Tommy · 02-17-2011, 02:29 PM

Just a little over a month until the Expo. I will post a few more photos of the 1/12th scale Ferrari Breadvan this week along with a few other models I am working on.

The first Scale Designs Carrera Panamericana decal is done. It is ref. SD38 and will be for the Porsche 356 Pre A cars in 1/24th scale. The cars on the first sheet are car #151 Canada Shoes Pan Am 1953, car #162 Guatemala Pan Am 1953 and car #11, the dark blue cabriolet from Pan Am 1952. These decals will fit on the Fujimi 1/24th scale 356 A kits with small modifications. They we be available starting on March 19th 2011 at the Expo. These decals are printed by Cartograf of Italy.

I can´t wait for that!...are you working on the 550 coupé from Profil24? if so, I'd like to see a little of your work on it.

As for the decals, you have a client here!

It would be nice if you could show us here some pictures of the original cars that can be built based on the new decals, assuming you don't want to reveal their final aspect yet, and surprise everyone in March!

Here is a link with photos of the cars I am doing. No announcement on models yet, just the decals. This link is free to sign up for.

Almost done with the first 2 Pan Am cars. The Fujimi 356 is in 1/24th scale and uses the Scale Designs SD38 decals printed by Cartograf, the 550 is 1/43rd using an old Starter kit modified.
I am also finishing the Breadvan and 2 or 3 other Pan am cars.

They look absolutely great Tom! and I'm really happy that we can now have proper decals for these cars.

As an admirer of the great Panamericana, I happen to have both these kits, and will obviously consider building them in this livery.

Would you consider a practical "how-to" building process on the improvements you have included in the early spider? I would have an interest in it, and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

I will be looking forward to more of your future builds, since we happen to have quite similar likes when it comes to vintage Motorsports. And of course, will be waiting for a nice photo-review of this year's Ferrari Expo.( pretty please?)...

Loved the idea for both decals on the future moebius Hudson, and Quattroruote Alfa as well!

My best regards, and please keep up the good work.

Thanks...I think you will love these Pan Am decals. The artwork and printing are as nice as you can find.

On the 550 I changed the lights and wheels. The body had to be lifted in the rear and under the door sills it had to be sanded at a slight angle. I also drilled out all the vents and grill.

I do not plan on making the Hudson Canada as the kit is for the wrong year. I am doing the Alfa 1900 Pan Am 1954 now(for Quattroruote diecast) and will do more 356's on sheet 3 including the Peron car. We also have a few other cars we are working on.

Hi,

I should be able to get one from Strada for the show. They are sending me a bunch of the new kits to sell so I will make sure they send an R15.

Here is a photo of the 1/12th scale Ferrari 250 Breadvan. Still alot of things to do on it.
