I sometimes add a race car here. ;)

As I learned, Mr. Antonický is celebrating his 60th birthday this year, so it would be appropriate to recall at least a few models from his wide range of work that appealed to me and that I grew up with. The first model had to be this Ford, which I have fond memories of... It was probably the first model I built by this author... it's a shame that the model was not preserved... so now I've made a repeat after 38 years.


Ford Sierra XR4i

This is a circuit version of the car that appeared after 1985 on tracks all over Europe (for example, it could be seen at the Brno Grand Prix in 1987)

This is a simpler, hand-drawn model, but that doesn't detract from its attractiveness. I only modified the model very slightly - modified the grille with recessed lights, slightly modified the wheels and added a base. A few photos:
