1938 Grand Prix racing cars
« on: November 06, 2014, 06:39:40 PM »
Maybe it's come the time for a new venture, I told to myself one day, long ago - and this below is the result, after being painted by Rubén Torregrosa of HeresyBrush as usual:


Those you can see now are Mercedes Benz W154 (silver), Auto Union Typ D (blue) and Alfa Romeo c12/312 (red) 1938 Grand Prix racing cars, that have been manufactured at both 1:72 and 1:100 scales altogether. Those you can see here are the 1:72 ones, BTW.


Those three racing cars will be released all together in a single box (1 of each in the 1:72 version, and 2 of each in the 1:100 version), that will also include a decals sheet with numerals in white, black, blue and red, and also as many white metal drivers as cars in the box!

We expect to start releasing them on next January --if not before--, starting by the 1:72 ones.

Cheers,
Lluís

Love it. I'm interested in this set as I build up a 15mm VBCW table.

Beautiful, and very interesting to me as I always wanted to do a retro version of Formula Dė. Out of interest, are there plans for more "dynamically" posed drivers? Those pictured make the cars look a bit slow, if you catch my drift.
