The
Art Car has been synonymous with BMW for many years from
the early cars that race at Le Mans designed by Alexander
Calder, Andy Warhol, Ray Lichtenstein they have now become
show cars. In Australia we had our own BMW Art Car designer
in Ken Done. In 1989 Ken produced a typical Aussie Aboriginal
style on an M3.
A
departure from our normal race/rally subjects and, as a
challenge to all you molders out there, we thought we would
make this available as a kit, to our knowledge this has
not been made in kit form before. For those of you who are
not interested in being challenged we will of course build
it for you. Available late 2009 or early 2010, order now,
it will be a limited run and all kits as well as built models
will be numbered.
Whilst
we are on the subject of 'Art Cars' we can now offer decals
to make the winning Audi R8 from the ALMS race Adelaide
2000, the spectacular crocodile car as driven by McNish/Capello.
You will need an Audi R8 kit but we can help source one
of those for you.
This
Way Up have a trio of Shadow DN8 F1s ready now, including
the Alan Jones car from the Austrian GP1977. More Jones
cars coming soon.
Congratulations
to David Brabham on his first Le Mans win, ironically both
he and his brother Geoff have now won in a Peugot. We have
already been notified that Spark will make a model of this
car and most of the others that ran this year. We understand
that Provence Moulange (Norev) will be making it as well,
and there will also be a kit from Renaissance. Both Redline
and BBR will make the Ferrari 430 GTs. Please order now
any Le Mans 2009 models that you are interested in.
We
have a new supplier for these readymade models and we can
also offer the Amalgam A1 GP cars.

Automodelli Studio goes international, our first non-Aussie/Kiwi
kit. The TWR XJS Jaguar from Monza 1984 is now available.

who has had the decals printed by Cartograf in Italy. The
kit will build either #7, the winning car of Tom Walkinshaw-Hans
Heyer or #8 DNF Win Percy-Chuck Nicholson, #9 13th Martin
Brundle-Enzo Calderari, and built to order of course.
Last
chance. We are coming to the end of some of the early
offerings, these are the Subaru WRC Rally of Canberra/Saxon

1971, only 1 left, and the Ford Escort RS1800 Southern
Cross Rally 1979 ony 2 left.
