Fantastic build!!. It looks great from the rear view, nice detail.

Simply perfection, Ray!

How did you like the kit?

It looks great from the rear view, nice detail.

Yeah, it'd look even meaner from the rear view mirror. Great build Ray.

Fantastic job!

Wow! This is the most mean looking machine I know of, Think of that view in the mirror. One would get aside quickly, not to be eaten alive by it. I'll have to get me one of thoose...and that livery is soooooo sweet. Good job, looks fabulous! I once read in a magazine about a guy that converted a 917K to a road car, this was in the mid 70's and I remember that the spark plugs was like $15 a piece. He needed 24 for one change....phjuuu! Expencive car to maintain.

Its awesome, the paint color looks bang on.

fantastico!!!!!!!

Great, now pack it up and send it to me!!:P Great work Ray!!:sunglasse

A stunning build!

Thanks for your kind comments Gentlemen :)

Tonio, I don't think so :)

Brian, the kit is nice, the white roundels are translucent though so if one can double them up(as I did) with one underneath, it makes the world of difference.
I do recommend some planning before just building though, it's not a straight-forward kit, the body requires slight modification to all fit together nicely and the nose section should be glued together before spraying.

Awesomeness! That is perfect Ray.
Looks all set for Steve McQueen to jump in and start the cameras rolling :)

That's one of the nicest and most realistic models I have ever seen, the colors are perfect. Absolutely beautiful Ray.

Awesome job!!,I love that car!

Now this is exactly what i love to see! these little treats keep me coming back to this forum. Excellent work Freak!

Tonio, I don't think so :)


Yeah you're right; it would end up being a fond memory at my place!! :shakehead :tongue: :lol:

Very nice! :sunglasse

I'm particulary fond of Gulf cars from all eras.

Don't let Tonio near it! Or let it near Tonio! :evillol:

Great job on a not-so-easy to build kit, Ray!
