There's a pic of the forthcoming Brabham BT49c from Vanquish MG on the palau site
*HERE*

ummmm....

can't believe how 'toy'-like it looks, a surprise coming from VMG. But maybe it's just not a very flattering photo...

thanks for finding and reporting it tho, rr!

 

[Robert Davies]

OK.. OK... I'll admit it.

The only way I knew to call it a BT49, was because of the caption over it.

It looks NOTHING like any BT49 I've ever seen

I'd rather have the old Scaley one!

For some reason the large picture doesn't come up, looked at the thumbnail image & I think that was enough.

My first ever VMG expired on its debut without completing a single lap, now lying broken in the spares box.

Abysmal.

Great choice of cars, shame it's the wrong manufacturer.

I loved the Scaley version. That and the Williams were a major step up in performance and build quality and I got a lot of pleasure from racing them. Happy days.

I`m not going to judge by the Photo I`ll wait til I can hold it.

Shocking, as if the gold leaf Lotus wasnt bad enough.

Seems the only hope for any remotely decent "modern" classic F1 will be the Coches Miticos Brabham and Ferrari....

has it really come to this !!

I can only hope that Scaley build on the success of their recent 50's classics and expand into 60's, 70's, 80's era.

Very fair minded of you, Johnny!
Me- I'm a grumpy old man fuelled by a lifetime's bottled up rage and prejudice.
But maybe it WILL be 1/32nd scale with a simple, efficient and uncomplicated drivetrain, reliable and accurately detailed. Come to think- they don't have a lot of livery variants to churn out with this one, do they?
Must dash- late for my yogic meditation and anti-stress therapist.

 

[abie321]

the real question is - are they still pursuing that awful scale.....

 

[Scott B]

I think the real question is are they still in business?

I hope so because the blind tool and pattern makers they employ will struggle to get a job elsewhere in the slot car business

 

[howmet tx]

Scott, Scott, Scott-
Funny but cruel! Cruel but very, very funny!
I hear their chief quality control bloke is called Tommy. Had a brief career in Pinball many years ago.
And per-lease, no Ray Charles jokes.... give the man some respect.

 

[abie321]

and definately no wizardry in those cars

 

[MR MAX]

Looks nice but looks very much like an old F1 Slot car.

 

[McLaren]

Goddam you guys....

It looks recognizeable to me, and when it's going round the track....

Anyway, 312T and an MP4/1 please.

Got to admit, it does look a bit basic and has very small fins at the front
