I was particularly sad because the 427 Sideoiler engine is so poor. I'm fortunate to have one and reference for me is very easy. Even though it's buried in the car I added better details and finishes.
I also have the Exoto 1/10 model of chassis 1015 (car #1, 2nd place LeMans ) This is a superb model and yes, the larger scale helps-but there are very few, very minor carps with this. I just don't want to try a disassembly to improve it because of it's value. But it looks fantastic to all but the most experienced GT-40 lovers.
Would like to see other builds and finished models. Bob-any interest?? Melchiori's build was a rush-job which cut many corners.

I am a little lucky for such 1/32 Tomcats only sell around $100 in my place, but still I know they have marked it much higher than they should be! Even though they are bargain comparing the price they sell in the western world, it is hard for us to accommodate those giants!
