and you like to have your European sports cars in 1/24, try the Bburago kit models. For like $15, you can build and detail them to your heart's content. For me, the real fun comes with those fantastic Cartograf decal sheets that offer fabulous liveries to grace, in this case, the classic rosso corsa Ferrari F40. The livery marks a 1995 Le Mans entry. Building the model from the bottom up, it's easy to add a few detail in paint and foil. On this F40, the wheels and tires were wrong so I kitbashed them from a Fujimi plastic kit. If any of you like the results, I can post more.

that looks great Rich. I've added some commercial van decals to a Hachette Citroen 1928 C4 Fourgon that came up well.

@geoff-jowett Aftermarket decals, if done well, can really add interest to a plain-jane model.

@rich-sufficool thanks Rich. This is out of the blister pack:
And now its a late 1920s Parisian fruiterers van.
How about the Waterman pens decals on this Heller 1/24 Citroen C4 kit?

I bought a set of Cartograf decals that covered classic and modern Challenger and Charger details. They are beautifully done.

@geoff-jowett Those Heller kits. I did up a Delahaye and this Citroen woody a million years ago. (actually these pics are also a million years old)

Wow! the woody is great. You did a great job painting the timber struts the correct body color. I wasn't game enough to have a go at mine. I am pleased with the 'timber' effect though.
This one is my favorite of the Heller Citroen C4s. The Splendid Hotel version. From Hellers website: "Designed using a new technique at the time and inspired by American manufacturing processes, the C4 was an exceptionally sturdy vehicle. Heller‘s model depicts the type of vehicles commonly used in the 20s and 30s by high-end establishment to carry their wealthy clients between the train station and the hotel."
Would love to see the Delahaye at your convenience Rich.
