Racing Cars in Miniature. Monday, May 29, 2006. Audi Quattro Rally Car Part 1. Minichamps 1/43 Audi Sport Quattro. Rally Akropolis 1985 Winners: Blomqvist/Cederberg.

Stig Blomqvist was the 1984 World rally Champion. He was the defending champion for the 1985 season. Stig Blomqvist and Björn Cederberg with their 1985 Audi Quattro. Formula O...

Racing Cars in Miniature: Bandama Mercedes
http://racecars43.blogspot.com/2007/05/bandama-mercedes.html
Racing Cars in Miniature. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. Minichamps 1/43 Mercedes Benz 450 SLC 5.0. Winner Rally Bandama 1979 Mikkola/Hertz. I remember seeing this Mercedes being sold as a 1/24 model kit made by Escii in one of the malls here. The quality of this model is astounding as the details are all there. The only thing missing in this model is the dirt from the rally. Mikkola remained with Audi until 1987, winning the Safari Rally in a Group A Audi 200 that year, before switching to Mazda.

Racing Cars in Miniature. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Audi Quattro Rally Car Part 2. Minichamps 1/43 Audi Quattro Sport S1. Rallye San remo 1985 Winner. A relatively new release by Minichamps. The detail on this car is excellent (as usual). This is the same Audi as Stig Blomqvist's Akropolis Rally Audi Quattro, except of course, the foglights and minor modifications in the car. Röhrl was also successful in road racing events, and called "Genius on Wheels" by Niki Lauda. In a early 1990s 24 Hours Nürburgr...

Racing Cars in Miniature. Monday, July 31, 2006. Ebbro 1/43 Porsche 908L Le Mans 1969. Hans Herrmann / Gerard Larrousse. Herrmann missed the win in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans with a Porsche 908 by only 120 Meters, but it was him who finally scored the long-awaited first overall victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours for Porsche in 1970. In heavy rain, he and his team mate Richard Attwood survived with their red and white Porsche 917K #23 as the best of only 7 finishers. Posted by K A M I K A Z E at 3:31 AM.

Racing Cars in Miniature. Thursday, May 24, 2007. Bizarre 1/43 Toyota Celica Twin Cam Turbo. 1984 Safari Rally Winner. Bizarre's rendition of this car is good, but nothing really spectacular. The rims on the front and at the back of the car are different (and exactly how Björn Waldegård's car was confugured in the Safari Rally of 1984). It even has a spare wheel inside the car. These are handmade models and finding faults and defects are relatively common in these cars. Driving Ford Escort RS models, Wal...
