Hand
built and kits
In
our quest to make more down-under models we are pleased
to announce that we will be adding SMTS
to our partner list. After our successful collaborations
with Marsh Models, K&R Replicas, Yank/Formula
Models, Jemmpy and Axle’r we will been teaming up with
SMTS in the not to distant future to make even
more Australian models.
Watch
this space as they say SMTS have many current subjects that
with little modification can be used
to create many down-under historic race cars. Just some
to wet the appetite, Bob Jane E type and 289
Mustang, Peter Geoghegan 289 Mustang, Neptune Racing Mini
Cooper, Lotus Cortina, 289 Mustang, Alan
Moffat Boss Mustang. The list could go on but let’s
be content with these for the time being there will be
all new models in the future.
We
have not worked out the logistics of this doing these models
as yet, whether we use SMTS castings
and make the necessary modification and decals to suite
or whether SMTS make the whole model with
our input.
Of
course we will still be making the occasional model of our
own but in my opinion the future of this
business is sharing costs. Some of these models will only
sell in very small numbers and that would
prohibit us making them without the assistance of our partners.
New
this month is the Mobil BMW M3 from Bathurst 1988 and Rover
SD1 from Bathurst 1984 AMS009
will build either M3 #56 P Brock – J Richards or #57
N Crompton – Dave Parsons and AMS008 will build
either Rover #60 S Soper – R Dickson or #61(class winner)
J Allam – A Hahne.
Kit
prices $85 or built $275
One
that has been in the making for sometime is the Ken Done
BMW M3 ‘Art Car’ 1989 which is now
exhibited at the Powerhouse museum Sydney. Kit price $90
or built $295
Drafting
for the Brock/Perkins Porsche 956 from Silverstone and Le
Mans cars has gone to the printers.
We are now working on the 1962 Armstrong 500 winning Mercedes
220SE. This
model will have laser printed decals. Due to lack of interest
we can’t justify the cost of screen-printing them.
We
have some race numbers printed. These are six different
styles and sizes black/white or white/black
will suit many applications. Price $10 the pair.
Everything
come to an end and so it is with some of our early kits
AMS-ME50 Holden Monaro, 350GTS
is sold out, AMS001 Ford Escort RS1800 Southern Cross Rally
is now sold out, AMS CJM Jaguar Mk2 Bob
Jane, Katoomba 1964 is unavailable from the manufacturer,
AMS01MR Commodore VL is now sold out
too and there is only one kit and one built model left of
the Possum Bourne Subaru.
In
with this month new release from SMTS is this Cooper T40
“Redex Special” that Jack Brabham should
have raced in the 1956 NZ GP but for a split gearbox as
he warmed the car up in the paddock.
For
all you who like to add fine detail to their models there
is new accessories from T2M these consist of
rivets, screws, bolts, wiring, tubing, ducting etc. etc.
if your eyesight is good enough.
