Finally, the kit is starting to hit some of the online stores, so I ordered one. Being one of their latest kits, it should be extremely well detailed with their usual excellent engineering.

Feels like this one has been in the works for years (it probably has). Somewhat of a weird choice as we don't have many F2 cars, but I probably will build it at some point. Never have build a Ebbro model.
Where did you get it?

Never have build a Ebbro model. Where did you get it? Dennis, Honestly, I cant' say that I've ever seen a plastic kit of a F2 car before. The Ebbro kit was 1st shown at the Japanese hobby show two years ago with the Lotus type 88s. They just never released the Brabham kit even though they kit was ready for distribution. I figured that the Financial suits killed the deal as it's such an odd ball release. Then I saw it again this year at the Japanese hobby show. And it started to pop up on retail sites that sell Ebbro kits, which are few and far between. I don't like to pre-order, so I just waited it out. Then one of my friends said that they saw it on Free Time Hobbies, checked it out, and it's there. So I bought it. I keep on promising myself that I've got enough race car kits, so I switched to my old standard of build one/buy one routine. that doesn't always work as I saw on Red Frog that they have the Tamiya 1/24 scale Porsche 956, which has been just impossible to find anywhere but ebay, so I'm buying that to, especially as it's a very detailed model. Sure wish that Tamiya would do the same for the 962C. Joel |

Hi, Heller made a nice Matra MS5 F2 as well as a Brabham F3 by the past  . Can’t wait to see your build of the Ebbro Brabham. Pascal |

Hi, Heller made a nice Matra MS5 F2 as well as a Brabham F3 by the past . Can’t wait to see your build of the Ebbro Brabham. Pascal Pascal, Nice to see you here. I'm lurking on LSP following your current F1 Ferrari build, and as usual, your work is at the Alien level. Right now I have the Tamiya Porsche 956 on my workbench for a GB I'm in, then it's the Brabham. Sir Jack Brabham is one of my all time favorites. Joel |
