A new range of short run resin kits released under the Race-Craft Brand by Coastal Craft.
The first two kits released are a 1/20th Cooper T51's
Kit 1 depicts the Works entry of Jack Brabham at the 1959 Monaco GP, his first Grand Prix victory.
Kit 2 depicts the British Racing Partnership entry for Chris Bristow at the 1960 Monaco GP.
The kits are a much improved version of a kit that was available for a short time some years ago.
The wheels & tyres have been completely re-mastered by John Shinton and the kit is now produced in various quality resins.
The first two kits were released at SMW, and we now have the kits available on line and at shows from both Coastal Craft ( www.coastalcraftmodelsuk.com and www.modellingtools.co.uk).
