After
several problems we now have the decals for the group A
JPS 635CSi BMW’s from Bathurst 1984/85 the kit will
build either car #62 1984 Denney Hulme – Prince Leopold
von Bayern from 1984 or from 1985 #1 Jim Richards –
Tony Longhurst and #31 1985 Neville Crichton - George Fury.
We plan to make the group ‘C’ version at a latter
date. Price kit $85 two for $150 or all three for $210 Built
price $250 each.
We
have also completed the test build for the second Aus
GP Ferrari 625 of Lex Davison from Bathurst 1958 many
of these have been pre ordered and only 5 of this model
are left.
There
seem to be renewed interest in 1/43 scale model cars not
only the handbuilt and ready built market but in kits
too…………… BBR/Gasoline have announced
one of the most ambitious future release programs we have
ever seen. Take a look at the coming soon page to see
their plans for the coming year. Wow even the mass production
companies would have difficulty producing this amount
of new models, so don’t be surprised if they don’t
all appear in 2008. Marsh Models have announced that they
intend to make every significant Jaguar XJR also a series
of Ferrari P4’s and they intend to make all Ferrari
512’s from LM1971 as well as continuing with their
CanAm range.
As
the website has grown to nearly 100 pages now, we have
added a search facility so if you can’t find something
give it a try. It’s located at the bottom of the
Home Page.
In
the past we have refused to sell die-cast models but with
the ever increasing improvements made by these companies
we think it’s time to offer some of the better ranges.
Companies like Redline, Spark, Bizarre, Minichamps, Pinko,
Exoto, Tokoloshe and others will be offered to order and
these can be found under ready made models. Most of these
ready made models retail at under $100 and represent good
value for money but may sacrifice a little in accuracy.
Many of these manufacturers also make other scales and
subject but we will continue to retail 1/43 scale cars
only. For the larger scales contact our friends at Pitstop
Model Cars.

Island Classic 7th 8th 9th March 2008
