    Hello Alan, the first five are from Scale Auto Perfect. About the others unfortunately i don't know. I saw them and because all of them are fantastic, i posted them here. However i could suggest you to take a look here. They are two different, fantastic modellers.

    The built models are from Kits by various makers such as Model Factory Hiro (MFH), and Profil 24 - built by some very talented model builders.

    I wonder if Hiro could also build the Lancia D50 with its unique hanging fuel side tanks? May be doing some small modifications to the Ferrari-Lancia chassis?

    Maybe someday, but it did not win any championships.

    I would not be surprised if we see the 1964 Surtees F1 Ferrari from Hiro soon due to his death.

    For the 1/24th scale Ferrari fans here is the continued list of Ferrari models from the Le Grandi Ferrari series. The GTC/4, F60 and F12 TDF all look interesting and the quality has gone up. Burago did a few of them for the series and the newer cars are well done(as good as a Fujimi plastic kit). The new Burago Alfa Giulia 2016 in 1/24th scale is also well done. Get the DOT 4 out and start taking paint off!!!

    A few more photos of the Profil 24 Maserati 151 1/12th scale kit and real car to compare. Very tricky but I think it might be better than we thought based on the bottom photo. I ordered one.
    Part of the built model photo problem is the exhaust body cover needs to be rolled under more. It looks to tall and square on the bottom.

    Since the real car is gone it is hard to see what it looked like other than from old pre 1965 photos. The car seen at historical car shows in Europe is a fake replica, and not a very good one at that.

    Giving a quick look over these photos, I still firmly believe the shape is off in several areas, still not close enough to correct for me.

    It certainly looks that the roof is flatter in reality than on the model.

    I do agree with you, but it is closer than I thought originally and better than the Tecnomodel 1/18th scale model. I also do not like the wire wheels very much. We are spoiled now.

    I received the Pierpaolo Pintarelli resin Porsche 907 Targa Florio 1/24th scale kit today and it looks pretty accurate. The body shape and details are good. Decals are ALPS style and the photoetch parts only consist of a windshield wiper, but it is a good representation of the car. Some of the resin parts are amazingly crisp. Vacuform is also good and can be worked with. 2 sets included. Worth getting if you like this Porsche wich I always liked alot. His Ferrari's look just as good in photos.

    Also a photo of the kit built up.

    Make sure you inventory the kit. I have had some odd occurrences recently. In one 159M kit I discovered they mixed up the tail with the other version and just today I received a 159M with a 1/24 chassis!...now that's just too weird. These amoung missing parts here and there on various kits.
