Thanks Andy. Did you know, if you take your model to a contest, 2/3 of your point score will be for the finish?

Boy, I wish! Wait till spring and we'll drive it through the mountains.

Come on up to western NC and drive the Smokey Mountain Parkway and the Dragon's Tail.😁

The Highway Patrol pulled me over and wrote me a citation for not having my license plates displayed. I corrected that.

I repeat myself, in these last two pictures of this post, I admire the way light is reflected by the flanks of the car. Smooth and regular reflections that look very realistic.

Cheers,

Dan

 

PS _ By the way, just watched the movie "Ferrari", I liked it a lot, the reconstruction of Italy in 1957 is just amazing, let alone all the beautiful cars portraited in the movie.

Maybe we should take the Ferrari 250 California Spider out of the garage and ride that dragon tail in it, instead?

That would be way better. 318 curves is more fun in a Ferrari. The Yank tanks just slow things way down.😄

Thanks for your kind comments, Dan. I have not watched the movie Ferrari. Will look for it and watch.

One of my buddies was in the Porsche club and they did a trip. That's the number he quoted. And his Porsche didn't have power steering. It beat him up pretty good.🙄

My only 'negative' point of the making of the movie is that modern American actors are too big for these cars designed for Italian people of the '50s. They barely fit in there 😉.
