1/24 McRae MR1-Chevy F5000

Post by Katzen »

Again I started with a Hong Kong toy...I think a Lucky Toys BRM. It would have been easier to use the old Entex M@r!b*r*-BRM kit, but they are pricy and it's easier to find the toy and modify it. The engine is a sprinter unit and the transaxle is a Hewland from the Gurney Eagle kit. The exhaust system is solder bent to shape...

I like cars from the '60s and '70s the best.

Terry,
Glad you like the build. I was able to see Grahame race this car at Laguna Seca twice. Loved it instantly.

Wow, that's a wonderful build :!: I never would have guessed it started out as a toy.
