Ferrari 250, bodied by Piero Drogo, BBR n. 6

Ferrari 365 spyder NART, special body for Steve McQueen, BAL CAR n. 3

BAL stays for Balestrini (Alberto), in one of his first performances.
He's one of the three founders of BBR (Balestrini, Barbieri, Reali).

Very nice. Always love the early BBR stuff to see how far the hobby has progressed recently.
What is really amazing to me is the fact that the glue is still holding after all these years - I have Make Up models that aren't even 3 years old, and the side windows or windsheilds are pulling up from the body. Not sure about the best glue or epoxy to use to prevent messing up the windows or the models to try to repair them.

the old bbr's were glued using bisonkit.
When it ages it can stain yellowish, but it holds for ages!

I have the same issue with Make-ups.. which is very annoying!
