1973 Yardley Mclaren M23 - Peter Revson

[Calvin]

I finally received a 1/12 M23 today!!!!! Which will be a future WIP that I'll do! For some dumb reason I just had to start a WIP so far ahead from when I actually start? I guess thats what a person does when you've been working on a 3+ month long Wildcat Project - Start imaginary WIP's.




Looks like a pretty fun kit. PE parts, all the springs, wires, and nuts n' bolts.

But this is going to be Peter Revson's British GP winning Yardley Mclaren, which of course im using Indycals for the decals which you can get HERE

Peter Revson was the last American Born race winner in Formula 1.

Whenever I start on this kit I shall have some interesting pics to show ya all.

You can watch most of the 1973 British GP below

Wow how cool. When did they show this on ESPNC?

[Calvin]

They show all the Classic F1 races on British ESPN Classic.
Not on the USA ESPN classic.

I'll be watching this one, Calvin. I've become a Revson fan in the last few years. Although I was intrigued by him, I didn't know a whole bunch about him until about a year ago. I found his autobiography in a book store down in Long Beach for a buck and read it. Although cut short, his career was pretty impressive and not well known by today's generations.

I know he started racing in Hawaii of all places and he drove a Morgan +4, for his first race car.

I scratchbuilded this car in 1/24, but not finished (only the chassis), i also made another in 1/24 but is the 1975 car, that i'm finishing, still missing some parts. I have the rests of one Tamiya 1/20 that was made here in the 90's. The 1/12 scale are more accurate than the 1/20, this is a very good kit. Another a good job Calvin ?
Cheers.
