• Here's another old build, the 1/12 Protar (metal) 1927 Fiat 806
  • That is SO sweet! *NM*
  • Beautiful build, I've a Protar 1/12th Ferrari T2 & 1/8th Bugatti T50 engine, both built, both made me want to take up stamp collecting as they were extremely fiddly builds but great when finished, your Fiat is exceptionally nice. *NM*
    • I also have the Pocher 1/8 Bugatti Type 50T that I built in the winter of '82 & '83. I'll post that too. *NM*
  • FANTASTIC! That is one beautiful model! Very impressive! *NM*
  • And here I thought you only built cool bikes...lol *NM*
  • What a strange, strange-looking front axle. *NM*
  • Nice build! To think of the dangers those Grand Prix drivers put themselves through racing those cars with hardly any safety equipment! *NM*
  • Looks great. 806 *NM*
  • Nice job, esp. with that level of engine detail, looks like a museum piece! *NM*
  • Wow Mike, that's beautiful! Are the numbers decals or paint, specifically the ones going over the louvers? *NM*
    • Thanks. The numbers in the back are dry rub on transfers, they look just like paint. But the hood is done with paint as the kit came with die cut masking for it. *NM*
  • Here's mine.... *PIC*
    • I'm also working on another 1/12th scale Fiat racer, the Mefistofele....."PICS"
      • That's going to be one awesome build! *NM*
      • Raymond, this is just too cool. Please finish it. *NM*
      • Wow, those are so realistic Raymond *NM*
      • Where's ya get the 420 Jags Raymond? ,, and would you consider parting with one? '-) *NM*
        • Steve, they're not Jaguar 420s, they are XJ-6s... *PIC*
          • Yes, I've seen the 420s but have never seen an Xj6 before. Didn't know anyone made one. I'll have to keep an eye out for one. *NM*
            • The toys that I bought (the red ones) were really rough, I've reshaped the roof, the boot and the bonnet, the window openings and wheel wells... *NM*
              • I see that. The window openings are particularly impressive. great work. *NM*
                • Here's one I think Tamiya should work on... I LOVE this car... *PIC*
                  • It's a well known fact that if I actually finish the XJ-6 on my bench, Tamiya WILL announce a full detail kit... LOL *NM*
                    • Actually, a looong time ago Italeri had this in the catalog as an upcoming new kit offering... *PIC*
                      • The same faith as the BMW 7series, only the brick Volvo 760 made it as a kit. *NM*
  • Spectacular! *NM*
