mrindy77 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I just finished up the March 707 in this pic and just a few more bits to put on the 429'er and polish the wing. Working on my 1/43 CanAm collection during the holidays.
drodg Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Looks great. I have loved building 1/43rd's over the years. They are getting a little harder to do with my 57 year old eyes.
Monty Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Good looking collection. I love the Can-Am cars! I have a few of those in slot car from, but I'd love to build them in 1/25 scale. There's no way I would even attempt 1/43. Nice stuff!
atomicholiday Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Nice collection there. I know almost nothing about canam racing, but I love the cars.
wisdonm Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Don't know why it's so hard to find 1/24-25 CanAms. The only one that I have is a curbside Chaparral 2F.
Crazy Ed Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Don't know why it's so hard to find 1/24-25 CanAms. The only one that I have is a curbside Chaparral 2F. Hi Don. The 2F wasn't a CanAm Car, it was an Endurance Road Racer - Daytona, Lemans and the such. Chaparral's CanAm Cars were the 2E's, 2G, 2H and 2J
Crazy Ed Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Cal, Nice group of Cars you have there. 1/48 has the widest selection of CanAm Cars there is in for Modelers.
mrindy77 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 There have been a number of 1/24 and 1/25 scale can am cars. Fisher Models make 2 different McLaren M6A, Porsche 917/30 in Sunoco markings and Chaparral 2E, Formula Canada did a 917/10 and a Shadow DN4, Accurate Miniatures McLaren M8B in various liveries. There have been a couple 1/20 McLarens. I think Otaki had some larger scale can am cars as well, a Lola, Shadow.
Silver Foxx Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Really nice work , I love your choice of builds .
Codi Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Cal, I just LOVE the old Can-Am cars. Cars that weighed little more than F1 cars but with upwards of 1500 hp. Just crazy. Please post your 429er when it's done. I have some awesome books on Can-Am cars and racing and that was a great car. Cheers, Tim
