Die Begeisterung für die reizenden simplen Modelle von Scamold und SMEC hat uns motiviert, in der Baugrösse 1:32 aktiv zu werden.
Vielleicht können unsere nostalgischen Modelle in der Vitrine einen Platz neben ihren historischen Vorgängern finden.
Als erster soll ein MG R type von 1935 erscheinen.
Über SMEC und Scamold an dieser Stelle bald mehr!

The legendary E.R.A. E-type by Scamold
with the well known Maserati behind
Scamold # 103 Maserati
Scamold Austin 7 Single Seater
The Austin Seven racer was sold as an "Ali Kit" and consisted of a massive cast aluminium body, axles, wheels, exhaust tube an various small parts.
It supposedly was quite difficult to build a decent model.
Built models are quite rare.

Riley TT
So far I have only seen one Riley TT model by Scamold and have not been able to purchase it.
That is why I am building one myself (I have original drawings/plans of the Scamold model)
This is the fourth attempt. Better than the previous ones, but still not happy with the shape of the radiator surround.
