Dave B Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have always been a fan of the 'big banger' sports cars and decided to have a go at scratch building some Aussie icon cars. I previously built the Matich SR3R and have just finished the Elfin Traco Olds, as raced by Neil Allen prior to installation of a Chev V8. It is based on a slush cast of an Elfin 400 mould I have. It's a curbside only and all parts are resin or scratchbuilt. Just a pic of the Matich & Elfin together. Time now to start Bob Jane's Elfin 400 Repco. Thanks for looking Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

935k3 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Great work. I grew up a Can-AM fan and got to see the Mclaren M8B's of the Bruce and Denny show at Watkins Glen. I have never seen those cars. Edited August 5, 2014 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
