Mike Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 There are two race cars designed in the 60’s that I think would make great 1:8 die cast models. One is the Elf 6 wheel race car. The other is just as unusual as the Elf, but I can’t remember the name of it. This car had an engine modification that actually sucked the car down to the road for incredible handling. Maybe someone else knows what it was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Lou Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 These historic race cars are certainly good looking cars. You might be thinking of the Lotus 76 in 1970s with its ground effect sticking it to the track? Or the Chaparral 2j? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks for responding, General Lou. I finally found the car I was thinking of on the internet. It is the Brabham BT46B. I thought it would make a nice companion piece to the Elf 6-wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Mark, The Master Modeller Posted January 10, 2020 Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2020 As it happens, MFH are re-releasing their BT46B kit. Admittedly, it’s 1/12 not 1/8 and a lot more work than most partworks, but it will make a stunning model. http://www.modelfactoryhiro.com/new/en/archives/14889 Not one for beginners. They are very challenging kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
