At the risk of being repetitive and becoming boring my plan here is to continue my "alternative version" theme.
The problem was I never kept any of my models so now I have retired and closed my motorcycle business , I have some space which I never had before. I would like to replace some of my models but I don’t really want to just build the same thing again, it would be like reading a book you already read. So i have been build alternative versions of the same kit that are not strictly correct
So now I am looking at Italeri’ s Fiat Mephistopheles , this is my original build
This is an aero engined 27000cc 6 cylinder record breaking “thing” built on a small lorry chassis
At 336 BHP if was the last car to break the land speed record on a public road at 140mph in 1926 can you imagine sitting in this thing at 140mph, 6” wide tyres , oil spraying in your face and rudimentary suspension and 6 cylinders firing each one 4300cc 
I have plans for this thing that will have the purists crying into their coffee and shouting Blasphemy and " he is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
