Excellent. Some great examples of what scale 143 cars can look like.

You are diving into the Deep end of 143 slot racing, and I for one, am sure happy you are.

Thanks for sharing and showing what can be done. Any of these going to be proxy racers???

Cheers

Dan

Wow Aki. You've been busy. :lol: They all look fabulous. Is that a Superjet 917?

Cheers

Thanks guys!
Dan,
Porsche, Opel and Jaguar are most likely cars that I will send to Peter's proxy in February.
I changed Kyosho X-speed motor back to Jaguar and now it is much better.

Randy,
Porsche is plastic Super Champion model body.
I broke the engine part but I remembered that Superjet Porsche 917 LH got separate engine part
so I kindly asked could they sell just that small part and they agreed.

Cheers

Aki

I have a silicone mold of the engine details on a Porsche 917. I have built more 917s then any other car.

So if you need another source for them, I have them.

Aki, those are some very nice builds!

sorry that iÂ´m late to the party, but i normally check only the 1/43rd section of the forum, not the scratchbuilt section. (itÂ´s still new for me and i still do not get the point of 2 different 1/43rd forum, simply due to the size of 1/43, but this doesnÂ´t belong here)

The Bentley is very, very nice and i would really like to see a picture of the chassis and how you got those gears fit in there.

The 917 looks great, too.

The Details on the Ascone are very nice, especially the driver and co-driver figure! Awesome! Again, i like to see a pic of the chassis, as itÂ´s brass.

The Jag is very nice, too, the rear end looks very interesting! Did you try the G9330 inside? No brakes and lots of motor always remind of that drag monster.

what wheels did you use on those cars?
