#MustangMonday BRDC Classic, Silverstone. Spotted in paddock after race, appears to have been involved in a ‘racing incident’
These might be the best action shots of a bald eagle that I've ever taken. All from a tree behind my house.
Some weathering washes on the wheels and bodywork, plus a bit of overall grime on underbody and chassis. Always seems a bit perverse having spent all that effort getting a good gloss finish just to dull it down, but it is meant to be a working fire engine after all.
Wifey's birthday present is coming along - Tamiya MX-5/Roadster kit. No engine, but the Big T didn't skimp on the chassis detail - that was *fiddly*... Interior colour her choice, btw.
How many overtakes in this opening lap? Our MD, Julian, lined up P14 for Sunday's race in his ex-Andy Rouse RS500 Touring Car. Last weekend was the BRDC Classic Festival at Silverstone circuit. Using the classic layout of the GP circuit. Have you ever driven this layout?
Bench time been had again. Decals are a nightmare to do. So many small ones to fit in place.
Excellent car show in Truro city centre today. Some amazing cars but this “every day” car of the 90s stole my heart. #alfaromeo
Good evening all. I'm having great fun with the lancia, for an italeri kit it has been going together well. The engine is now installed, just the front suspension to go then onto the bodywork.
Petrol station spot of the day. Spoke to the owner. Yes it's an original and he was on his way to Prescott.
Looks reasonable especially given the 70s kit heritage, I am assuming it is based on their standard 928 (still need one of these) but body shell, overhead console/targa panel and clear parts are all specific to this version.
The first coat of blue is on the GT40. I'll let it dry over the weekend, sand out any blemishes and give it another coat. #histscalemodels #buildthestash
Stef N@stefjn.bsky.social · 2w agoGT40 base is finished and the body now ready for the primer coat. Not the greatest kit but easy to assemble. A couple of bits are poor fitting and I am a bit worried about getting the two parts together. #histscalemodels #buildthestash
Post has arrived, been after this old Revell kit for a while. Been fascinated by b+b (Buchmann & Buchmann) creations since getting this book of 1980s 'style' nearly 40 years ago. Have always loved the impractical overhead Hi-Fi. No rainbow decals in kit though, will think of something...
