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. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Ace <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8cg6dh$jee$[email hidden]... > Bruce, that's one hell of a model.

Same price as what I paid for it two years ago ....AUS$200. I'm not interested in profiting from it. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- GTX_SlotCar <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PAVG4.28$[email hidden]... > Very nice work, Bruce. > So, if you sold one, how much would it go for? > > Slot > > > "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:38eb39cd$[email hidden]... > > I mentioned earlier in another thread about Honda models and the Lotus 49 > > that I'd put something together a year ago.

Very nice work, Bruce. So, if you sold one, how much would it go for? Slot "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38eb39cd$[email hidden]...

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!)

Yep that's the one I've got. Not so detailed (it falls apart when I touch it) but it still looks great. Warren Van Camp <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]...

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. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Warren Van Camp <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <PAVG4.28$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] > says... > > Very nice work, Bruce. > > So, if you sold one, how much would it go for? > > > > Slot > > 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).
