Grandissimo Valerio, come già ebbi modo di scrivere in passato bisognerebbe farti un monumento, e non solo per quanto hai fatto e fai tuttora in tema di Carrera Panamericana. Per il resto, hanno detto già tutto Apostolos e Dwayne: io posso solo dirti di continuare così che vai non bene ma benissimo!

I would like to make clear to all the members of the forum that i am not a scale modeller by profession. I am building models in 1/43 scale since 1972 and because of my Carrera Panamericana passion i have collected books magasines and models since then. I have the crude blobs of mettal by Grand Prix Models,John Day, FDS, Brumm up to AMR, BBR, FEELING43 etc. All and i mean ALL have omissions and mistakes. That is acceptable considering the difficulty of the subject and to my mind the forum, started by Paddy, has grown up to be a refference to builders and manufacturers and brought up many first time seen pictures and videos to the pleasure of us all.
Valerio you are a GIANT of this hobby & subject because you dared to model subjects never modelled before. My oppinion is that we must all support this effort but you must let the forum know your future production plans. That i think will help you and us in our plans in buying (moneywise). E.g. i want all your Saratoga, Hudson and some Lincolns BUT the total cost is over my budjet for all 2020. In the mean time you may have additional information through the forum by all of us.
Respect, Apostolos.

Elio, hai un MP.

Ciao.

Valerio has just released 6 new Lincolns !!
I don't know how he does it, together with all the other types of cars he does.
Congratulations Valerio on a supreme effort.
How can we keep up with all your new cars ?!
Dwayne.

Penso che le due opzioni possano essere corrette.
I think the two options may be correct.
Saluti / Best regards

PD: Sorry, Lincoln Capri #149 Bob Korf

Thank you nice clear photo of that Mexican on the front fender of 155.
Dwayne.

I just realized that when you look closely at the photo of Marshall Teague putting on his helmet, that in the background you can see the front of #155.
There is no sleeping Mexican on the front Fender in this photo.
The photo was probably taken just before the start a section of the Carrera.
The other photo was obviously taken in front of the factory, when the cars were just finished before going to Mexico.
So I believe that Valerio is correct, when he says the sleeping Mexican was not on 155's fender for the race.
Comments anyone ?
Dwayne.

Hello to anyone there.
Have you ever put a clear finish on your model, and decided a decal was in the wrong position. or even the wrong decal perhaps.
Sometimes new photos are published and we have to change everything !!.
For some time now, I have been using a product that works perfectly, so perhaps this might be helpful for someone on the forum.
I have been using "Cloudy Ammonia" to remove the clear Future used by most of us.
Rub the area where you want to remove the decal with a Cotton Stick soaked in the Ammonia.
Keep rubbing for a few seconds, careful not to touch the decals you don't want to remove, then rinse with water, the decal will now come off with the help of some masking tape.
I hope this helps.
I had a touch of nostalgia and went back to Page 1 of the Forum started by Paddy in 2006.
It is amazing how far everyone has progressed from that time to now on our favorite subject, so many ideas and help for each other.
I used to watch all those years ago, but never participated in the Forum until recently.
I wonder where all those people are now ?
Dwayne.

Dwayne, utilissime le informazioni che ci hai dato!
Io, comunque, non metto mai il trasparente sui modelli, così non ho problemi di questo tipo...

Quanto alle altre riflessioni che hai fatto, ho pensato le stesse cose. Purtroppo molte persone se ne sono andate via, e questo è un gran peccato, però altre se ne sono aggiunte, per fortuna. Bene o male il forum, e questo thread in particolare, non sono morti ma continuano ad esistere, sia pure con qualche difficoltà.
Poi certamente si spera sempre che continuino ad esserci nuove aggiunte; forza ragazzi, un po' più di partecipazione sarebbe assai gradita!

Dlin dlon! Comunicazione di servizio!

Mi è rimasta una Delahaye 175 S di Chiron, interessa a qualcuno?

Ciao Elio , sarei interessato ...mandami una mail , grazie

Inviata mail, Mauro. Grazie a te!

Nice Delahaye Elio.
Dwayne.

Grazie Dwayne!
