A couple of new stock items this month from Marsh Models.
First the Can Am Shadow DN4B of Alan Jones from Mosport
1977 and the Ford G7A Can Am of Jack Brabham from Michigan
1969
GBP/AU$ exchange rate is very good at the moment so these
are excellent value for money when compared to most mainland
European kits at $90

News
from Provence Miniatures is they have been sold again.
Heco took them on from the receivers in late 2007 but
things have been very quiet since because they have found
that they can not run their own very successful handbuilt
model business and the PMA kit/built range. So they have
sold it to Philippe Benoit who will continue to produce
the range as before, with rally cars and Le Mans as the
main subjects. They have just released a couple of very
nice looking Alpines, an A110 from Corsica rally 1973
and an A310 from the Cevenole rally 1976, but prices have
crept up to $130 for a kit.
New built range from BBR called Concept 43, the first
of which is the Launch version of the Ferrari F2008. If
their press release is anything to go by, it is the best
1/43 scale model every built………….
but to stand any chance of getting them they must be pre-ordered.
Concept43, quality and innovation BBR at its full expression.
Faithful reproduction of the aerodynamic small parts by
using steel details. This has enabled the perfect replica
in 1/43 scale with thicknesses ever seen. Exhaust pipes
are made in steel turned parts and all suspensions have
on the carbon fiber reproduction decal. The seat belts
are reproduced with metal-plastic and fabric parts for
a total of 10 pieces. The model is composed of over 140
pieces in just 11 cm of total length. Painting and assembly
are guaranteed by a BRAND that more than 25 years is synonymous
of quality and perfection.
This
is a model where the concept of "collection"
finds its true value. New box and new design for the base
made up with two different materials. Exclusive art-work
by BBR. The model is in limited series of 509 pcs all
with serial number.
Work
has started on the 1935/36 Australian GP winning MG P type
of Les Murphy this will be part of the Aus GP series and
also available as a kit which will build either year. We
have also started on the Cooper Bristol (Holden) Redex Special
of Jack Brabham this will be available built or as a kit
that will build several versions.
Coming soon from Ugo Fadini a limited edition handbuilt
model of 'Enterprise' speed record car of Norman 'Wizard'
Smith that set a LSR for the flying 10 mile in New Zealand
1932
We
have revised the Suppliers Page as we can obtain kits/models
& accessories from more than 100 of them now, from the
major manufactures to the obscure one man 'artisan' builder.
One we can't supply any longer is JPS models. Jean-Paul
Schartz has called it a day and gone into retirement. We
wish him well, but unfortunately there goes another kit
manufacturer.
An up to date version of the Le Mans Bible is to be re-printed.
This was first published in 1993 and covered Le Mans 1923
to 1992 Jean-Marc Teissedre is going to update it to include
1993 to 2010 Although it will be expensive start saving
this is well worth the money for Le Mans modelers.
Distribution of the Spark Porsche 997 GT3-RSR of Alex Davison
from LM 2008 has started so we should be getting our order
within the next few weeks
