    1:18 Dioramas.... Fairlane Restomod / Cobra 427

    I won this Ford Fairlane Restomod in a competition from a local model importer.
    Dilema ! Where to place the brute amidst a colleco of Bugs ??
    Build a garage, that's what.
    Problem with 1:18 as opposed to the smaller scales is always space.
    Moved the whole setup around about twenty times and finally found a way to fit all into my display cabinet.
    So here it is.
    This beside the fact that I have now also collected 1:18 in all my old favs, including the 427.
    The latter is by Kyosho whilst the Fairlane is a GMP. What a model !
    Just a few features: Windows wind up and down
    Propshaft turns on back wheel motion
    Full leafspring suspension with working shocks
    Brake lines
    All piping and plumbing detailed to perfection.
    Just awaiting the Bug T35 from CMC which I have on order and am planning a diorama from 1924 era. Should be fun !!
