Here is my latest build, the George Turner Models Maserati 4CLT

The car is finished as the 1949 British GP winner driven by de Graffenried,
though quite how accurately it is finished I do not know, as there seem to be few good detailed shots available. This is so often the case.

This model uses the resin chassis as supplied in the kit. The motor is a Scalextric FF, the guide is Ninco.

The wheels are of course my own, the front tyres are Scalextric, the rear tyres are Vampire.

This car was raced for the first time last Saturday and was very good to drive.
As with all cars it took a little getting used to, but unlike many cars, persistence was rewarded with continually lower track times.

As with all the GT kits, this one was a pleasure to build and a second future build is now very likely.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

Absolutely great. Fine work as usual.
No daubt: -GT-models- are the very best on the market ,
but even these well prepared kits need professional finish to get such a result. :clap2
Thanks for showing here.

vbr claus

Ps: your fine spoke wheel constructions are the best on market, too !!

Thank you for your kind comments.

This is all practice of course for when the GTM Mercedes W154 is available!

Peter.

Hello, Peter,

oh, I love this Maserati so much! Back in my childhood it was one of my first racing cars, and it was my first Formula-scratchbuilt using a MacP-bodykit:

I think, the GTM-kits are very much better to build and much more detailed. With its matte paint your car looks very authentic in my eyes, I don´t like the glossy shine of many of the slotcars. Only your drivers forehead looks a little bit, as if he had touched the wall (I apologize for my personal opinion!). But I think, the driver of my car doesn´t look better....

Bild

Very best regards,
Taffy

Hi Taffy.

Here is a new picture of the car at the British GP, 1949. Note the forehead!

I think a new set of wheels is in order.

Hello, Peter,

some minutes after having written, I have seen this picture in the international forum, and I immediately knew, what would happen... ;-)

The driver looks very much better now, Peter! And I like the yellow wheels, they give a very special look to this car.
The international forum is a good source for authentic pictures, and I think, there are many specialists that give very good contributions. I like to read the discussions there, and I have followed the discussion about the cars nose and grille with interest.

VBR,
Taffy
