Hi All
Please forgive the horrible iPhone photo. I haven't gotten my new lightbox set up yet, but didn't want this day to pass without a tribute to both Bruce McLaren and Niki Lauda. 1/24 Fisher Model and Pattern McLaren 1967 M6A, the earlier release without the photoetch, but still an awesome kit, which I built in 1995, and the 1/43 Tameo CPK 004 McLaren Ford MP4/1C, 1983, Long Beach.
I carried the M6A on my lap with our 3 dogs in the cargo hold of a jet from California to New Jersey when we moved from west to east in 1996, and more recently, the MP4/1C has taken me a couple of years to get past some health issues. Somehow, the windscreen and mirrors of the M6A fell off over the years, but Paul Fisher was able to find spares for me. That was before the horrible Paradise, CA, fire. I'll be installing the new mirrors soon.
I'll do some proper photos, hopefully this weekend.
Cheers,
Greg
Macs, Bruce & Niki
