I was a bit bored so I thought you might like to see a picture of my lunch, but that would be boring.

So here is a picture of some cows outside my French house (whilst I am sitting here in the UK)

The Alfa I took round what's left of the Charade track.

The barn attached to the house. (I should have converted that one)

A recent arrival but the question is do I go with the rather fragile looking standard rear wing but matches the markings

or the Monaco rear wing which will at least be attached to the body but need a change to some markings

SRC chassis going to be hopefully cut to take a Policar with 3D front end.

Monaco wing for all sorts of reasons Keith.

Must admit I was thinking Monaco wing as that way if I have to play with the engine moulding to fit the Policar chassis it won't effect the wing mounting, anything for an easier life.

Think I need a new memory module as I forgot all about my latest vintage arrival...

Monogram 1/32nd scale complete with box and paperwork.

Standard wing, more fragile but more beautiful, besides veterans know how to race them properly so any deslot shouldn’t be grave and the wing will be safe.😉

Sitting here watching the Glastonbury festival on the old BBC, Noel Gallagher is on with a band called "The high flying birds" I wonder if the name was inspired by this song.

Daniel, The smaller wing bracket fits in a slot at the rear of the engine moulding with two small pins, mind you the front wings no better. Will have to get the Policar chassis sorted out first and then see if the motor moulding can stay as is. Either way I don't think either front or small rear wing will be glued to the body, maximum flexibility needed I think. There again although it will be minimal the Monaco wing will lower the CoG and move weight forward of the rear wheels.

I know they are not Ferraris, but it's a great photo.

It needs to stay here, it's important to show balance

I am sure there must be a Ferrari somewhere in that picture.

Well spotted, there is a Ferrari sign in there.
A couple more bashed one.

A few years ago, the theme for the Bordeaux race meeting was the Tour de France Auto. As part of the research I did, I saved those pictures of available diecast models (the manufacturers have already done all the hard research work).

Super America.

Slightly different version.

Joel

 

[merkit the grof]

More up to date Super America, not quite the understated elegance of the green car above, but nice nonetheless.

Joel

 

[GDSLOT]

Wow! Didn’t know of the Super America , the three examples look really nice.

I just like this picture....you can see where Fangio has been touching the walls from the marks on the tyres:

Another modern one with a traditional name, the 2015 California
