that I'd put something together a year ago. Pix and a bit of info is
available at the URL below if anyone's interested........

Did you make this one?? Congrats! Wouldn't have done a lot better than this
one, especially with that japanese map. <G>
Man, you have way too much free time on your hands!

Bruce, that's one hell of a model. Fantastic!

Very nice work, Bruce.
So, if you sold one, how much would it go for?

Obviously not as superb as Bruce's, but a nice assembled 1/18 scale
1967 Jim Clark Lotus 49 is available from www.ewacars.com,
made by "Quartzo" ($30US + shipping). Wish they had an Eagle too.

Ah...that's right, it was Mr. Ace who was mentioning models!
Thanks, Ace......it does give me a great sense of achievement each time I
look at it but I'd think twice before doing it again! I'll stick to the
more conventional Tamiya's, I think.

Yep that's the one I've got. Not so detailed (it falls apart when I touch
it) but it still looks great.

Same price as what I paid for it two years ago ....AUS$200.
I'm not interested in profiting from it.

Thanks Warren.......I agree, it's a nice model.
I'd love to see Tamiya, Fujimi or Hasegawa produce a range of the 1960s
cars. They seem to have stuck with the 1.5 litre Honda and the RA273 (made
in Japan) Honda. Oddly enough, whilst they produced a model of the only
Japanese designed and manufactured car (the RA272 of 1965) to win a F1 GP,
they have NOT seen fit to issue a copy, in any scale, of the RA300, which
won at Monza in '67.

Of course, Tamiya have also produced that beautiful Lotus 25 but wouldn't it
be nice to see a Porsche, Ferrari 156, Brabham-Climax as well? How about,
from the early 3-litre era, a model of the Eagle-Weslake, the
Cooper-Maserati, the Brabham-Repco, the hulking BRM with H-16 and the
Ferrari 312?

A couple of years ago, when searching for manufacturers of such kits, I made
some enquiries through a contact in Japan and he came back with the advice
that Honda did not give permission for a model of the RA300 because the car
was neither designed nor manufactured by Honda. Whether this is true or not
I have no idea but I suppose it makes sense.

At least I'm not alone wanting an Eagle. Nobody seems to do 'em though, and
it looks like I may end up building from scratch. (Nightmare!)
