Beautifully-modelled Porsche

Guys, check out this beautifully-modelled Porsche slot car:

Notice how the wheel and tyre sizes match the era. The car is also well painted and decorated to replicate a real racing car of the time. In a sense, the lovely-looking slot cars we can buy nowadays have taken away our skill and interest in decorating the bodies of our cars. I'd love to see more of this type of custom painting/decaling at FRC. I believe Steve and Ramesh have the most cars with custom paint jobs, but its also nice to see number and other decals on them too.

Lovely !
That looks like an MRRC Porsche 910 like mine, just nicer looking !
I'll bring a few of my painted and decaled cars so you can photograph and add as a follow-up to this thread.

I came across this pic of two custom-painted Cortinas and thought they suited this post:

Pretty neat-looking, eh?

Nice ! I think the colour and stripes of the no. 3 Cortina are quite similar to my Mustang GT 350.

Is the orange Cortina a custom-paint job ?
