Dave B Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 This is my take on Garrie Cooper's Elfin ME5 sports racer built for Neil Allen and delivered in October 1969. It was powered by a Bartz modified 5.0 litre Chev. The car was later sold to Tasmanian Don Elliott and raced by both Robin Pare and Tony Edmondson. This is the livery that I remember best so it's the one I decided to replicate. It's not perfect but I am happy with the finished model considering I started with sheets of styrene. I'd like to thank my old mates Phil for the decals and Bruce for the period photos which were invaluable for some of the details. Finished in auto acrylics and clear coated. Tks for looking.

1959scudetto Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Great model, Dave - masterful skills ! Never heard of this one: Looks to me like a typical CanAm contender from ca. 1970. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
