Latest News from automodelli studio

January 2010

We would like to wish all our customers a very happy new year

Automodelli Studio is now your hobby world in 1/43 scale

Automodelli Studio will now offer all things 1/43rd scale, not just model cars but aviation and boats too. We have been offering figures and dioramas for sometime so the next logical step was go the whole way and offer anything in 1-43. We will not be offering O scale model train items, although this is very often associated with 1/43rd it is in fact 1/48th scale.

So we kick off the new year with a boat from Touchwood Models. This is Bluebird K7 the water speed record boat. In 1964 Donald Campbell was in Australia with both CN7 the land speed record car and K7. He took the LSR with CN7 at Lake Eyre in South Australia and the WSR at lake Dumbleyung in WA making him the only person to hold both world records in the same year. We will have the Mach One Models Blue Bird CN7 shortly.


 

A new range of resin kits or built models from Fline in China, all opening doors bonnet/boot with good interior and engine detail. Current range includes Audi R8, Mercedes SLR722, Lamborghini Reventon, Ferrari Enzo GT, Bugatti Veyron.

We now have more stock of the SMTS Brabham BT19 (Brabham) also back in stock from SMTS are the Cooper T53 (Brabham/McLaren) March 701 (Amon) Ferrari 312 (Amon) from Renaissance we have the IROC Porsche RS kits (Hulme) McLaren F1-GTR’s from China/Japan (D Brabham) and from Vroom Matra 660 LM1971 (C Amon)

SMTS have now released the Brabham BT19 (RL101B) from the Belgium GP 1967 driven by Denny Hulme.

 

Latest addition to our accessory range is a photo etched sheet of various bonnet/boot catches, pins, straps suitable for many application at $6.95

Coming soon from Marsh Models will be the McLaren M6GT road car, the first of the McLaren supper cars. This was from the late 60s as a development of the Group 7 Can Am M6 it was intended to produce enough cars to enter it in the Group 4 GT class at races like Le Mans but, with homologation and rule changes, the project was scraped. It was planned for the car to go into production for road use but again it never made it and only 3, or maybe 4, were produced. Bruce used the prototype OBH 500H as his personal transport until his untimely death in June 1970. The car was then shipped to New Zealand by Denny Hulme for display at the transport and technology museum but later sold to a US buyer and is now part of the Mathews collection in the US.

Just released by Ilario in his Contacts range, the Jaguar E2A. This comes as the Le Mans test car and the Le Mans race version but, more important to us, the version that raced in the US at Riverside/Laguna Seca driven by Jack Brabham/Bruce McLaren. These are limited to 80 built only at approx $235.00 each.

 

Spark have just released this Lotus 25 BRM of Chris Amon from the French GP 1964

Just before Christmas we received our first delivery from Neo Scale Models of Holland (made in China). Wow is all I can say. Their Jaguar Mk7 8 & 9s are absolutely stunning. If you are looking for classic European road cars these are unbeatable at around $85 but you will have to be quick if you want a particular colour. Our suppliers can only guarantee them if they are pre ordered as the colour combination are as low as 300 to 500 were as the standard release is 1000. neoscalemodels.com

Finally this month we have confirmation from Neil Murry of the Aston Martin Heritage Trust that all Aston Martin works DBR1s 2s 4s 5s from the late 50s were painted Almond Green so that includes the DBR1/300 of Jack Brabham as raced at Nurburgring, Le Mans and the TT in 1958. The AM Project cars from the early 60s were painted California Sage Green and that includes the P214 that Bruce McLaren drove at Le Mans 1963.
