    Hey Gary,
    Nope - 1033GT is not a 14 louvre car.

    I do not have a photo of #164 in '57 showing the numbers on the door. I can guess, and I would probably be close, but I prefer to verify everything I can. I will probably end up going on the assumption that the #4 was the same as other number4s I've seen on other cars from the same year.

    I think there was only 1 14 louvre TDF (0707) that raced in '58, and it did not finish. The only reason I want to include it is because of the interesting livery: red, with wide yellow stripes, separated by a thin black stripe. I'm pretty sure that it did not get the headlight conversion until later, but I will have to double check.

    Dino S - there is plenty of incentive! This one will actually be buildable and will look right. You will probably be able to buy 2 for about what 1 MG kit costs these days. The decals will be much more accurate that what MG put in their kit, and there will be a choice of 5 different cars to build - not counting whatever else people want to do on their own.

    Tom T,
    I'm pretty sure that Brad will be doing vac form for the windows. I told him he absolutely had to for the headlight covers.

    "I'm pretty sure that Harold Bradford will be doing vac form for the windows. I told him he absolutely had to for the headlight covers."

    I talked to Harold and he said 0677GT TDF could also be done with extra parts included in the kit. The kit will have vacuform windows. As already stated by others on other websites, HRM is also planning a Ferrari 196SP in 1/24th scale.

    Here are photos of the coming soon Willliams FW30 and Arrows A2 1979 in 1/43rd by Tameo:

    I will have a HRM TDF along with several other masters and new kits you will not see at any other show on display at the Ferrari Expo in Chicago.

    I should also have on display a correct set of Grandsport Halibrand wheels in 1/24th scale(completly new master) for the Accurate Miniatures Grandsport kit as the kit wheels have to small a center section and don't look right.

    Thanks, he is an amazing perfectionist. Pity that neither of these get completed hopefully the Jordan will be different!

    Timeliness and selection has always been the most amazing features of the 1/43 genre.

    OMG, that should have been the new California. It's prettier than that plump girl by a long shot. Pininfarina CAN design a good looking car after all.
