Complete: 1973 Brabhams BT42

Complete and a challenging multi media kit to build. Body is resin, all the rest of the car is white metal needing a ton of clean up. The driver was Carlos Reutimann and he is in the car courtesy of an El Oso resin driver figure I added. The decals along with other areas proved quite challenging during the buid. Thanks for looking..........

On a tangent, Argentine Meat would have to be one of the weirder sponsors...

Hi,

this special car is rather unknown to me, but looks very interesting.

Nevertheless a very clean job

Awesome build.
I have no affection for the 70's F1 cars, but this build is really great.
Finish looks perfect and all the details you added look spot-on.

Hello Dave,
like some other members noticed before i', i'm not in Formula cars (depending the '70s) also, but this is a very nice and clean build and i especially like your tyres!!! Very accurate work indeed!
Yours

Excellent job Dave, a very clean and crisp build.

I love these old school F-1 cars. Great execution, Dave!

Thanks guys!

Is this an Iritani kit? Resin with Tamiya plastic parts? Just wondering. Very nice build of one of my favorite 70's cars, the Martin BT44B being the favorite and one 1/12 I wish I had bought

I was searching for vintage F1 models here on AMF. And yes I found one.:runaround:
What I stunning looking model, really my cup of tea.
What scale and brand is this kit??

Thank you for sharing:biggrin:

Super work on a "proper" F1 car and Carlos looks cool.

A dramatic model of a time period when all F1 cars looked different. Excellent!

Thank you! This is an orange house hobbies 1/20 kit... very crude kit in multimedia form... lots of bent white metal that needed to be straigtened out.... but all in all it came out well I think.

Looks awesome. Another high quality finish. You are on fire! :)

The old ones are still the best looking f1 cars in my mind.

Your car looks really great.Its a very clean ,nice build.
