The F1M Forums

After two years of preparation, finally my latest project completed:

6 versions of Brabham BT49 from 1979 to 1982

There are 5 AMD models and 1 Studio27 models in collection.
Lots of putting and scratchbuiding, BT50´s were used like donor kits (wheels, wings, suspensions,gear boxes)

More pictures will be added later on.

Enjoy

Wow, thats certainly dedication to a single model!

Nice group photo. I love these! I am bookmarking this topic because I have a BT49C to do eventually. I hope to take some details from these builds, a very nice job on all of them! Thank you for sharing.

Some detail photos of each car

#1 Brabham BT49 - CAN/US 1979 version
(Car number 5, I wanted Piquet´ version, but by mistake I applied "5" on all models.Too late I found out that Piquet had "6" in 1979 so this is Ricardo Zunino version )
