What about this then: Yellow is the national racing colour for Belgium, The wiggly lines could be intended to be Spa or the “S” bends at Le Mans. So what about the Derick Bell / Hughes de Fierlant Ferrari 512S as entered in the 1970 Spa 1000Km by Ecurie Francorchamps. As shown in this link: https://...

Annie Nightingale (sigh) looks behind the scenes as Peter Gethin explains the finer points of the Mclaren M19 to her prior to the 1971 British Grand Prix and then at the race. Close up pictures of the M19 included, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWYl4aGkjeQ Be warned, 1970’s fashi...

By chance I have just come across a YouTube video about the Zakspeed Capris that were made by Erich Zakowski, the essence of which Christian has so excellently caught in his models of the DRM Capris of that era.

Look at the following links, on the rear bodywork, above the yellow stripe, there is a horizontal row of rivets, ju...

Pictures Here is a link to web site that I found that has lots of pictures of racing cars from the mid 1960’s to late 70’s early 80’s: http://www.pro-steilstrecke.de/ There are some modern cars in there as well which appear to be from track days. There is a drop down button / tab to change the langu...

Back in the day Airfix did a range of 1/12 scale military and historic figures which for some reason included a boy scout. The military and historic figures wouldn’t be much good for your application but I used the boy scout figure as a basis for a mechanic. At the time petrol stations were giving a...

This is an interesting challenge so here is how I approached the problem. But first, I am defiantly “old school”, cutting and gluing polystyrene is my style, I don’t have the knowledge to design and print my own resin parts and I usually work in 1/12 scale so 1/20 was decidedly fiddly for me, but he...
