Dave B Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 My third, and final, Elfin 400 is my take on chassis "BB662" which I watched Frank Matich drive to victory in the 1966 Australian Tourist Trophy held at Longford in Tasmania. I have included a couple of pics of my other two. They are, #2 Frank Matich's Elfin 400/Traco Olds, #4 same car when owned by Neil Allen and referred to as the Elfin Traco Chev and #7 Bob Jane's Elfin 400 Repco. Had great fun building these ( and the Matich SR3R and Scuderia Veloce's Ferrari 250LM and 350 Can-Am). Thanks for looking. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Beautiful race cars. What scale are they? From a kit or scratch built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil, 1/24th scale from a hand carved wooden buck (by a mate) immersed in silicon and slush cast in resin with a vacform screen by me, I did make the wheels as well. I cut the 'horns' off to make #4. David B Edited April 25, 2019 by Bantoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
