Eagle Weslake T1G, Dan Gurney, Spa 1967. 1/20 MFH.

[pg265]

Good evening,

Recently finished the wonderful Eagle Weslake from 1967, Spa version driven by the Great Dan Gurney.
The kit from MFH is beautiful.
However I had some details, made and/or modified parts and add a few rivets... 1620.

I hope you will like it.

It really was, Joel. And Pascal brought it to life.

Paul,
How true. Another outstanding build by Pascal.

Gurney and Clark are my two favorite F1 drivers to this day. As I posted in Pascal's M7A build post, I was at the 1967 & 68 Watkins Glen F1 GPs and saw Dan Gurney driving his Eagle in 1967. Too bad that he retired early in the 67 race with suspension failure right after McLaren retired as well. He placed 4th (had to look it up) in 68 but in a McLaren Cosworth Ford.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your nice comments!
How lucky you are mates to have seen, heard and smelt those roaring beastly beauties...
And Gurney, Amon, Clark, McLaren, The Bear, Stuart, Hill...
What an era!
