kapam Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Wow! What an excellent model! One could be forgiven for thinking you threw the old model into the bin and (somehow) conjured a new and better-detailed one from scratch! Look forward to seeing more of your work.

If you want to know something about me, go to the "new members" section.... I recently made a 1/24 model of a quite unsuccesful but very nice and elegant Formula One car, the 1956 "Type 25" BRM..... The base is the only available kit in 1/24 scale, the ancient Merit kit (issued in 1958). I purchased the kit on eBay as a badly built and painted model... The Merit BRM is very hard to find and moreover, a built model is usually less expensive than an untouched kit.... This was the initial condition: after disassembly, paint stripping, some scratch to detail the cockpit interior and the suspension, wheels and steering wheel replacement, and re-painting in typical BRM dark metallic green, this is the result: The version I reproduced is the one of Monaco Grand Prix... This is the Mike Hawthorn's car, that unfortunately didn't start after a troublesome practice session... in that year, the 25s were entered in only another Grand Prix, in England, with #23 Mike Hawthorn, #24 Tony Brooks and #25 Frank Lockhart; Hawthorn qualified his car in the front row and had a fantastic start, as well as Brooks; they led the race for several laps, but they both had to withdraw, Hawthorn for gearbox problems, and Brooks for a spectacular crash with fire, from which he escaped with minor burns... It took three years and many modifications to turn the 25 in a winning car (Swedish Jo Bonnier won the Dutch GP in '59), but it was too late: John Cooper and his rear-engined cars had already begun the greatest technical revolution in F1 history.... Excuse me for my bad English, and many thanks for your attention! What a wonderful model it became! What wheels and tires did you use in this update? Thank you very much for sharing your model with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
