Thank you all for the great comments, it really is humbling to get such great feedback from some of the best modellers out there. Looks great. The Lotus 49 is a classic beauty. One thing though. I thought the cam covers on the engines of Rob Walker's cars were polished and not the standard black fro...

Thanks for the info on the Brawn conversion - I think I may just need to copy you...
Looking forward to the McLaren and Williams builds too.

This is definitely one I'll be following! Love these kinds of conversions. Do you have more pictures of the Brawn and the conversions you did for them? I've been thinking about doing exactly that and your build looks beautiful.

I like your work mat with all of the info printed on it. Where can I find one of those? Your car appears to be black. I was under the impression that the Rob Walker cars were painted a dark blue. Am I wrong? I picked it up at my local hobbyshop, I believe it's made by Horizon. The car is dark blue,...

Hi everyone, Here is my second finished F1 model. I build Ebbro's 1/20 Lotus 49 in the colors of Rob Walker's privateer outfit. Jo Siffert drove this car in the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix to a non-finish. The first-generation Lotus 49 was campaigned by Jo Siffert for the first half of the 1968 season b...

Cool,. I'll be looking forward to your thread. I too, have a Rob Walker Lotus 49 on the bench Are you modeling the 49 or 49B? Awesome! Did you have some pictures? I'd love to see your progress. I'm doing a standard 49, between the Indycals 49B sheet and the Ebbro 49 sheet I'm about 90% sure I've go...

That is a great resource, thank you! I need to finish up an aircraft carrier model for a client, but I'm hoping to start cutting pieces out on Saturday.

I just joined the bandwagon and bought an Ebbro McLaren, the Mid-Season version. I can see why everyone is building one, it looks fantastic in the box!

Hi everyone, I'm about to begin work on the Ebbro Lotus 49, which I intend to finish as the Rob Walker car raced by Jo Siffert in 1968. It's been a struggle to find good reference photos for the non-winged Rob Walker Lotus 49. If anyone has pictures or know where I could find some, I would really ap...

That BMW M6 kits looks fantastic.
