Ferrari 312 PB NURBURGRING 1973
The Ferrari 312 PBs returned pretty much unchanged for 1973. Ickx and Redman were victorious at Nurburgring on the traditional 22.8 km long Nordschleife ("Northern Loop") version. The competition took usually 44 laps and lasted about eight hours, later less than six hours. The model was built from a SRC base. All rear mechanics were completely self-built in brass and nickel silver. The Engine, from a Tameo base, was enriched with all details related to this version: brakes, suspensions, air intakes, electric wires, injection pipes, exhaust pipes with anchorage springs, radiator etc. The cockpit and the dashboard were fully rebuilt and provided with all real details. Door bases are in nickel silver and wheels are provided with air valves. In all, more than 350 details were self-built.[...]
Eagle Weslake, Dan Gurney 1967 Belgium Gp
This model, in assembly and re-design phase, starting from a 1/43 SMTS kit, pays homage to one of the most beautiful cars that, in my opinion, ever raced in Formula 1. This version represents the only victory of the American pilot Dan Gurney in Belgium GP (1967 F1 Championship). The “Eagle” was strongly demanded and ideated by Dan Gurney and Harry Weslake, from whom comes the name of the 12 cylinders engine (V12), one of the few of this type. This racing car marked that age being as well the only American F1 model racing during 60’s. Completed other details, these will be viewable in the photo gallery with an appropriate description. When the car will be finished, all images will be published in 1/43 models section of this site.[...]
