Bry3500, they are cool I had the Zephyr and Anglia [ Matchbox ] left the Zephyr standard but turned the Anglia into a Breadvan type .. then unscrewed the base and put in on a Faller 1;72 scale slot car chassis, was no good, body too heavy,Originally Posted by bry3500
my brother in his Porsche alway2 beat me.. s
Bry3500.. have the Zephyr as original [ not Ernie's ] and did the Fastback thing on an Anglia, using cardboard and resin for the back and filed down the front guards to round off the headlights sadly now gone.
Only taken me 3 years to comment, Oh well .. not in a hurry these days !!
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...
Would like to find a source for the Shell Racing New Zealand decals as used in late sixties/early seventies which featured Shell logo and white steering wheel on red background. They were on just about every NZ car raced in the era. I had a couple on my Lotus when I raced it in Historics. Full size or scale are ok.

Chaindrive, thanks, I may do that for a garage scene I am going to make when i get all my models unpacked .. may need your expertise when it happens .. presume you can do that with any type of sign or logo - the printing onto a decal sheet instead of paper ..

Thanks for that, how close would your pic be to full size? From memory that appears to be close to it. Is it my imagination or did the early sixties/seventies ones have a simple white steering wheel with less detail and different wording?
There were at least 3 versions of this Shell decal Rob, depending on year and the reds and yellows changed too. I had mine printed into vinyl after checking the correct item for what was 1973 in my case.

These models are deeply detailed replicating every aspect of the originals.

Ford Model A.......Nothing special............Just a bit of fun !!!!!
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.

Couple more shots of PDL I.
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?
Syracuse Connaught.
awesome work - I love that old model A.
Very awesome - toss for me between the Connaught and the 'Large Tablet'
