Never seen this before but it looks fabulous.

David Orr
That is very nice. It's good to see an unusual subject like this. I think I had a Matchbox car very similar to that.

Spence Wilson
@George, thanks! Concept car from the late 60s. Always been one of my favorite concepts.

@David, I know Hot Wheels did a version in 1970 and Matchbox did one in 1971. Pretty sure I had the Matchbox version as well at some point.

You actually managed to order a kit from this website?

So cool to see this one build! Great! I love those old prototypes and how they saw the sports car for the future.

@Alexander, I have been buying the SMP24 kits for about 4 years now. It was not easy to find or purchase them in the beginning but I have been a pretty consistant purchaser since. I am not sure how many actually get out of Japan or Asia for that matter. Definately not easy or inexspensive to obtain.

@Christian, thanks! I am also a big fan of this era of prototypes, most concepts from the 70s though the 90s I felt really captured what it meant to create really wild and intersting concepts.

Fantastic model of a fantastic car!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Besides Martin Mars, there are other projects going on - although 'side project' always sounds so disrespectful. In reality, these are models that really excite me, the kits are excellent, with a few goodies you can add a little more value, and the original machines are a dream anyway!
Just like here: I'll show you 'The White Rocket'! This T-38A Talon was used by the Mercury astronauts as a training device, another interesting story. The kit from Wolfpack is good, but a few etched parts from Eduard in the cockpit and above all the 3D print of the two jets at the rear increase the degree of realism even further.

Looking good Roland!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you! Glad you like it!

These five pictures show the latest status: the surfaces, decals included, are finished, now the assembly of the various antennas, sensors, landing gear, airbrakes, pitot tube, canopy.... canopy can begin! So, at least the final is already in sight 🙂

This build has now come to an end: a generally pleasing modelling experience, even if I was a little disappointed with this - for me - first Wolfpack kit: the fit of the parts was wonderful, the detailing was pleasing - for example in the cockpit area and the well-represented complex hinge mechanisms of the two cockpit canopies. But then: the undercarriage, airbrakes, the turbine outlets... it was all rather 'meagre'.... Accordingly, some improvements were needed here: a cockpit interior set from Eduard and an etched parts set that helped to detail the undercarriage and - very helpfully - the airbrakes. The fabulous nozzles from ResKit were also a really good investment! I love the decals and also the decal version from Wolfpack: in the look presented here, this T-38A 'The White Rocket' was flown by Deke Slayton and 'Wally' Shirra in the astronaut training of the Mercury programme - a fact that fascinated me.

Maciej Bellos
I like it. You achieved a nice white look. Congrats!

Robert Podkoński
Good job!

Nice Ferrari, taking a seat. Není Laudova a ani z papíru, ale to určitě nevadí 😉👍

Jarda Malý
Laudovu mám ještě v zásobě, tohle je zatím rozcvička. Uvidíme jak to dopadne, obtisky jsou po těch letech na hovno a taky lesklá červená bude sranda😀

Alec K
Aha, tak to je správné 😂👍. Já auto nikdy nezkusil ale pro ty formule mám slabost. Ne tu červenou držím palce a těším se na pokračování. Motor je malej skvost 👍

George Williams
Great looking engine.

Jarda Malý
Alec K: díky. Ten motor bude nakonec zavřenej, nebude z něj nic vidět. Všecko je to jen pro ten pocit že to tam je😀 ale i tak natahám ještě pár káblíků.

Jarda Malý
George: thank you

Jakub Fiala
Rozjels to paradne. Motor vypadá luxusně 👍

Hugo Oliveira
I´m gonna follow this one.

Moreno Baruffini
A very good camo !

Sébastien Courbet
@Moreno, I still have some aera to improve. I'm happy with the result, I used old AeroMaster colors that I have in my stash for 20 years and still usable.

Guy Rump
Looking good. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Good job!

Zbynek Honzik
Nice collection! 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Beautiful!! Do you polish the surface to achieve that glossy finish??

David Griffiths
I try to aim for a semi-gloss finish rather than high gloss. I normally use automotive paint and polish it with various grades of Micromesh.

Michael Kohl
Beautiful stuff.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful indeed (and a F-RSIN kit! Respect! 😉 )
