1935 Campbell-Railton 'Blue Bird' Following on from my 1:18 Mercedes T80 I have also modelled Sir Malcolm Campbell's record setting 1935 'Blue Bird' in 1:18 scale. It is made using the same methods as the T80 but with an open cockpit revealing much more detail. The build is fully documented on my YouTube channel HERE. I hope you enjoy it and subscribe to my channel.

Wow 'Red Head' sure is a good looker! Possibly a good subject when I have exhausted the ultimate record holders. Thanks Johann -

Great post Pete. Thrust 2 is a good call. Totally sums up British eccentricity. I'm only put off by the decal nightmare. - maybe one day. CN7 on the other hand...:) -

Thrust SSC is a real beast, I absolutely love it! With 3D printing it is quite possible in 1:18. All of the LSR cars are printed in sections. SSC would just take more parts. Thanks for posting the plans John, definitely food for thought. -

Hi CT thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. The future is 3D printed - any subject any scale. It just takes a lot of hand finishing to get things looking right. Sera -

Thanks Trevor, It looks great next to my 1:18 T80. I'm not sure which LSR car to do next. I do have a few ideas from that golden era but as yet undecided. Sera -

Project Blue Bird is now finished and I am eyeing up my next Land Speed Record holder. You can see more on this build on my YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoUUsH1Mg_ksQgmkldaaDQ Blue Bird is about 18 inches long and as you will see from the videos on my channel it has been a journey not without problems. Ultimately I plan to make a series of the great Land Speed cars for my personal collection. All the best FURBALL -

You can see exactly how these and other models are made on my YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/c/StaplesandVine Tanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this, and my other projects.
