fine art automotive miniatures - limited edition museum-quality scale model cars and model kits

pro-built weathered to race-like condition

Intended for the 1997 FIA GT sportscar racing world championship series, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR was - due to design delays - not entered until mid-season, yet it secured both the FIA GT1 world championship titles for driver Bernd Schneider.

This outstanding full detail and engine model was hand built by DENNIS KOLEBER (America's preeminent professional builder and winner of numerous awards and championships in his own right) from a kit by Tamiya of Japan. It is truly an extraordinary, one of a kind pro-build model by a master builder. The model features photo-etched parts, resin castings, turned metal parts, clear acetate, cast metal parts and rubber bits, with extraordinary interior detail, full engine detail, and weathered throughout to race-like condition for incredible, umbelievable realism.

A display case with Dennis' signature and the award this model won in the Region 6 National Builders Show is also included. Send us an email if you're interested in getting additional, close-up photos of this extraordinary model car.

HISTORICAL WWI AIRPLANE KITS - take NEW CHALLENGES!

America's most famous biplane! With America's entry into WWI, the Signal Corps ordered large quantities of JN-4s. By the time production stopped after the Armistice, more than 6,000 had been delivered. After the war, hundreds were sold on the civilian market, and the airplane became the mainstay of the "Barnstormer" of the 1920s. This 1/16 scale model reproduces virtually every detail of the real aircraft - with over 300 laser cut basswood and birch parts, over 100 finely cast Britannia metal parts, and close to 600 highly detailed photo-etched parts. Wingspan 32-1/2"

Fiery and temperamental, the Camel had a wicked torque and was difficult to fly. But in the hands of an experienced pilot, the Camel was a deadly opponent in a dog-fight. Its greatest glory came on April 21, 1918, when it shot down Germany's famous Red Baron. This true-to-life structural static model without fabric covering reproduces virtually every detail of the real aircraft. Wingspan 21"
