The MS11 is a beauty! Were all of the models in the photos built from Heller kits?

Dear Robhart,
Yes, with the exception of the BT7 which started life as a Strombecker slot car body (I wish I had another one!). It does have a Heller space frame chassis! The little Matra F2 car was the most versatile offering up 6 different Matra cars.

I'd love to see close up views of all of those Patrick!
I bought the AMT release of the Matra MS5 and Brabham when they were 1st introduced. Had to wait to have the kit delivered. Took some detail pics of similar cars at SCCA races while I was building them.
Atlas made a number of F1 slot car bodies in the 65'68 era that were pretty decent. I still have my 1/32 Atlas 1966 Brabham. If you could find some of those, They might make some pretty fair starts on some otherwise unavailable cars.

Quite a list!
I don't restrict my preference to the 1.5L cars, but the whole 60s pretty much covers it. Odd to me that in the 60s I had aerodynamic ideas for open wheel race cars which were brought to the track by racers in the late 70s and early 80s, but I really was never nearly as fond of those cars which used my ideas as I was of the earlier ones which inspired those ideas in my head. F1 these days doesn't interest me.
I'd like to see those pics...

If anybody is interested, I have Heller kits - McLaren M7 and Lotus 49B - new, still in the box. Also a Brabham BT33, started (it's a mess but it could be resurrected).
I'll never build them, I don't care for 1/25th scale that much.
