F1-70 Chassis kit - Gear Diff

Description

If we’ve a “crush” for the F1 of the late 60, we’ve to admit that we’re definitely in love with F1 from the mid 70, to the ground effect season, that means late 70’s -very early 80’s

What we could do?

Bodies for collectors? Well… yes

A proper “easy” chassis? Again… yes

And in in the winter between 2018 and 2019, the idea start to be more than an idea.

But with which F1 we can start?

F1 in the 70 was very different from actual, cars tend not be a copycat… sure, some inspiration from the leading models, but each team was having “his” car.

Plus… there were a lot of pay-driver:… “Bring enough money and we will paint the car in your colours”…

March was a perfect example.

A lot of talented drivers drove for them, like Niki Lauda, Ronnie Peterson, Vittorio Brambilla, Arturo Merzario plus a bunch of pay drivers.

This means that at least, 6 or more car, from works to private entry, can be reproduced, using a single 1/10 body.

Lucky me, I’ve the proper connections to do a good job in this field, to bring a proper scale model.

So the March 761 was ready, thanks also to support of Andy Gilberg, owner of the original drawings, who give us all the support possible.
