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?

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

Spence Wilson
@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.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic model of a fantastic car!

Spence Wilson
@Robertt, thanks very much.

Marcel
Great build of a unique car. Love the color.

Mr D
Very nice, great subject too👌
Do you know who the designer was ??

David Orr
@MrD It's got a Bertone logo on the side of the engine cover.

Spence Wilson
@ Marcel, thank you very much!

@Mr. D It was designed by Marcello Gandini while he was with Bertone in 1968.

I suggest using a zipbag for the colors and the cement.

nikfrost
Looking good. What options do you get for the trawlers name?

M0rce
Hi nikfrost.
Just 1, Ross Jackal.
But as I have deviated on the colour scheme, I may make one up. Hoping to find some rub on letters at the hobby shop.
Any name suggestions? (Question open to all of course 🙂 )
Have a good day.

Thanks M0rce. I live near the Humber Estuary which is connected to the North Sea, my suggestion would be Mud Shark haha.

Love the realistic rust effects dotted about the ship!

M0rce
Hi everybody,

I didn't manage to find any rub on letters at the hobbyshop, but got a few sheets of single.letter decals...
Not sure haw that's going to work. Got to.pravtice that a bit before I attempt on the model.

Man i keep watching your vids and each time ill see something cool...
The weathering is spectacular and the chipping! Heck yeah the tarp thats cool makes me want to tear mine apart and start over! And weather it too!
After thought ( hence the handle) i wish i would have scratch built a trawl door and chained to the foreward galliws frame! Next time i am.
