This one keeps reflecting light, should be easy to see on the track. I hope this is better Martin.

Great stuff!   Yellow and white make a nice fade.   Lots of incredible paint jobs on these cars.   

[olescratch]

Thanks for the comments. The Mantis was already painted when I obtained it in one of the Tom Scott auctions, and the Needle bods came from Gene/ZR1 painted by me. (painted is very loosely used here lol).

Been a bit under the weather lately but...

 

I finally add these two Classics to my collection!

 

Two little rescues with loads of work to fully restore. Both are runners sporting taller Silicone-Foam rears as well.

 

Truescale clear bodies and paint and trim/mounting by Jairus!

Here hoping, just looking at your rescues make you feel a little better. Nice cars, well done.

[olescratch]

 Nice rescues!  I'm always happy to see the Classic Ind. cars being restored to like new condition.  They may not be the best handling, but they are the best looking!

I struggle with Diabetes and the many solutions and meds that must be taken.

 

Here is a photo of the undersides of these two Classics!

I finally picked up a difficult to get Monogram SNAKE that had bad wheels sets, but was in decent shape nevertheless.

 

I replaced those ugly wheels and dried out tires that had no inserts with new Mila Miglia ones from my stock.

 

I think although not completely original, is still a beaut!

Very nice!

 

I guess I got lucky, mine has all 4 original wheel inserts!

Dave, I might have a couple inserts, I'll check and get back to you.

[Maximo]

Okay gents. A revised now 100% authentic SNAKE!

 

Thanks to Jairus and Matt for their kindness and help!

As usual I'm late to the party. But.. that link is dead and while I did manage to find the True Scale website everything I click on says "no products available".. I did just get some great bodies from Gene though and they are very nice.

This one was in my father-in-law's attic. Later issue car, but the box is the first series "Cuc" box with the wide edges.  It was sold off in the late '90s when I cashed out a lot of slot cars. I wonder where it is now???

THAT is the nicest open top Cuc I have ever seen! I don't know if it's a trick of the lens but it's the most beautiful color ever.
