egg Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Another childhood one limited to an alloy wheel re-fresh. I really think this captures the essence of the real thing, and was one of the inspirations behind owning a full size one...

Datsuncog Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Anyone remember that battered Matchbox Speedkings Mustang Funny Car 'Gus's Gulper' that I was looking shot of? Well, Sheffcortinacentre happened to pick it up, and - it's been transformed into that rarest of things, a model of a UK funny car; and better yet, a MkIII Cortina! Sheff emailed me the pics last night, pointing out that it's been the first time in five years he's tried his hand at a bit of modding and he's keen to get back in the game again. It's not quite finished yet, with a blower scoop and front valance needed, but it's looking good! I'd be interested in seeing just how this was put together, as the shell looks like it's started off as a Corgi Cortina GXL (the Graham Hill one) but it seems to have been grafted on with part of the Mustang rear somehow, as the hinges to the rear appear the same. It's rare to see any diecast of a British dragster (Corgi's 'Wild Honey' is the only one that springs to mind), so top marks for getting stuck in and creating something unique! Looks great with the Dinky Ford D-series flatbed conversion, too. Pillock, Bren, Burnside and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think there's a picture posting guide on the Autoshite Help thread but essentially if you're using the full version of the website (not a mobile one) then you just click More Reply Options, Choose Photo, Attach and then it puts it in the post.

Might be interested in that Yellow Crane if it's one you would consider selling? I've got a few 1:87 HO scale vehicles myself. I only had a couple of cars a few years back then went a bit crazy on buying Herpa, Busch and Wiking. Was wanting to build a Diorama for them but it's waiting on space, time and more cash!
