Finally i managed to grab one of these big Macs.
Lightly started but it seams it's complete.
Think will turn my interest into 1/8.
It's better for my eyes. But how can I tell that to my wife

As a young teen, my first GP was way back in 1978, Dutch GP in Zandvoort. I immediately was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, the cars and the noise. I was hooked forever!
The 2 lotuscars ahead, followed by the red Brabham BT46, driven by Niki Lauda. Sadly the last race for my hero Ronnie Peterson.
One of the cars of 1978 and to my opinion one of the most beautiful looking cars ever is the Shadow DN9 as driven by Clay Regazzoni and Hans-Joachim Stuck.
And now finally available as a 1/20 kit made by Wolf, received the kit this week and it looks great!

Tamiya F-35A aircraft........amazing model kit!
Prior to that I bought the Wicked Model Cars Peugeot 9X8 and Porsche 963 kits. Both great kits and the future of modeling due to their use of 3D printing.

Got nostalgic about my teenage years, so I got these. Classic NASCAR era. The Superbird kit is vintage, and the decals look okay, but I'm looking to find replacements. Any suggestions? I'm still plagued with sideways picture syndrome. I tried rotating the camera and rotating the downloaded image. No matter what, when I attach them to my posts, they end up sideways. It didn't start happening until about 6 months ago. One frustrated Baby Boomer here

Yeah, the F14, F4, F35 are ‘must dos’ - even for car guys…
I’m going to work in the Takom apache this year as well.
So many models, so little time.

I got a pair of BIG kits. First, I won the A7 for like $70 and then stumbled across the Lancia for $169. How could I pass that up? I couldn't and I didn't. Here's something for you 3D printers out there: the Lancia really needs a light pod. Someone made one in 1/10.....but not 1/12.
