  • 1950s F1 Group Build and Race in 124 scale.

    This is very Fluid............

    The concept is to build and race 1950s F1 cars from kits like SMER+Merit+Atlantis and Mastercraft etc. The Alfa and Talbot are pretty easy
    to come by, the others not so much.

    The 124 scale project would have each racer/team built there own Brass chassis and paint liverys that are true to the 1950s GP series.

    It would be a 3M project and pionts given to the Best build and where you finished in the 2 hr race at THE RACE PLACE in Farmindale NJ.

    We are working on Rules and geting kits out to builders/racers by Feb 13th 2021.

    Here are some of the Rules:
    No Fantasy Liverys.
    No Pinning body.
    Inserts must be proper.
    No Ball Bearings.
    Premade Tounge and Motor mount ok.
    Inline Only.

    Parts:
    If a kit chassis must be approved.
    HR 27x12 Foam Tires, front can be trued down to 25/26 and corners can be shaped.
    1/8 Axels.
    34/10 Gear Ratio
    Scaleauto Tech-1 20K short Can.

    More to come........

    I would be interested, but, certainly need more details..........kits maybe hard/expensive to obtain for some folks.

    I do like the flexi-board brass chassis in the thumbnail pictures

          Greta kits make great cars have fun with it.

          I went for narrow wheels to keep them in style

          Hello all I have been working on some 1/24 scale Grand Prix and Indy cars. The Kurtis Kraft is a Monogram kit. The D50 is a resin body. The Talbot and Alfa are Merit/SMER kits. SMER is a reproduction of the Merit kits. I am using a Penelope Pitlane chassis from Pendleslot with their vintage wheels and inserts. I have cast my

          Hi I used Penelope Pitlane Vintage wheels from Pendleslot

          https://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/p...ls-22x6mm.html

          The measurements are there - they are 22.25mm overall in size with a tyre on them the come out around 28-30mm.

          I use tyres from the Carrera 1/24 '62 Corvette. I made my own mould but Paul Gage does them as well. I also used some tyres I bought from eBay off a chap in France think they were intended for the old Scalextic Bentley.


          cheers
