ecurie ecosse transporter

[rgriffs]

built from scratch in 1/24 scale, made from plasticard and various plastic stock. saw some plans in a magazine article by mike sells, it is 14 inches long, with a fully detailed interior. the ramps are held up by invisible chocks that will only move when the tailgate is lowered. a mate in work challenged me to do it after reading an article in motorsport magazine, only saw the real thing after i finished it. so there were a couple of errors, but all in all i was pleased with it. would like to do the gulf transporter now, any photo's out there ? the d types are :- no 4 revell xkss, other two are lindberg with resin bonnets grafted on. all have resin interiors and wheels and tyres.

Very impressive! Thanks.

What Gulf transporter? What year and what cars did it carry?

[Ettore]

A quick look at the net seems to indicate Gulf used an AEC in the sixties and a MB in the seventies. Mike Sells' Porsche transporter is the MB. The AEC could be easily drawn by modifying those plans.

Amazing

yes it is the aec, i thought about getting a spark 1/43 model and use that as reference. it would be very impressive next to a couple of gt40's and a 917.

Exceptional scratch building. It adds much to your D type models.
