jacko Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Sorry for a slightly off topic subject, but does anyone know of a site similar to this one dealing with multimedia 1/43 historic race car kits? Most of what I can find seems to deal with completed diecast replicas, which do not interest me. Foreign language sites acceptable. Thanks, Jack
stitchdup Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I think most forums cater for them, scale and the material is unimportant really, but make sure to include it so people know its a smaller scale. There is a resin cast section lower down the menu page with resin/diecast but i think they are more modified pre built (I'm probably wrong on that)
vamach1 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) The reality is 1/43 is much more popular in Europe than the US. Here's a site where I have posted some builds. As you know except for the great Corvette and Cobra kits by Monogram, all the kits I have bought were from France and England and diecasts from China or maybe Japan. Start posting some pictures and perhaps other will play along. Edited February 1, 2019 by vamach1 Website
MrObsessive Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Some sniff at 1/43, but I can't think of any other scale where you'll have the most variety. Every once in a long while, I'll build a 1/43, just the ideal thing at times for a slump buster as there's no chassis detail to deal with and most times no engine. Here are a few I've built in the past.............. 9 minutes ago, Belugawrx said: www.f1m.com Thanks for the link Bruce.........very good site!
cobraman Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I like 1/43 and have built a few but now my old eyes make that scale a bit tough.
vamach1 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Way to go Bill. Yous should bring them to a meeting sometime. I usually throw a few in the IMPS contest because there aren't a lot of entires and usually come home with a 2nd or this place. The J car is a little dusty - built in the 1990s. I would love to see a NNL sub theme of anything but 1/24 or 1/25 scale.
