Love the eleven, especially as a replica is slowly going together in my shed. Are these available to buy?
Oldfart........... This is an old Merit kit of the early 60s. you can pick one up on Evilbay......At a price!
not in the same league but cool nevertheless
Love the NZ tribute cars !
I have no models anymore, but I bought these as a pair a few years back and they live in wait at a friend's place in Melbourne for some fun when passing through town. Don't even start on Jimmy's black helmet...:cool:

those are amazing, hours of work there, well done.
When young had a model Mustang that I converted to Fahey first one, it was easy as was white to start with and got BOAC stickers from model planes and bigger wheels, stripes etc from other models, not sure but could still be at mums, must look.
Dig it out Rod !!!
Here are PDL I and PDL II together. PDL I was made from a standard Mustang to which Tony scratch built the flares from plastic card, scratch built the interior, and added new wheels etc. PDL II is from a kit of Charlie Kemp's famous IMSA Mustang II from which Tony then made an entire new front from scratch. Is that about right Tony?
