Lotus 49 F1 Ford 1:12th Scale Jim Clark Tribute

This video shows the Tamiya 1:12 Scale Lotus "49" F1 Ford model kit I built as a tribute to the great Jim Clark "The Flying Scotsman"
Clark was a 2 time F1 world champion and he campaigned the legendary Lotus "49" in 1966/67 and won multiple Grand Prix races driving it.

Thats why I hold on to my old Grand Prix legends PC game because all the greats are in it. Thats a fine piece of work there.

[@MrChief101]

A name from my youth. One must love how Tamiya treats every subject with a reverance. Very nice build.

[@xrlent12]

Beautiful work. Loved these old school F1 cars.

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks man, I'm into the pre wing cars too.

[@xrlent12]

@@TrekWorks Yeah. There is a certain raw elegance to them.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Does anyone make kits of the 50's F1 cars? The old Ferraris and Alfas are awesome.

[@bigeddie1231]

awesome looking build

[@WakeyRC444eYupLad]

Amazing display piece.

[@forthwithtx5852]

Very cool. I made a Pinewood Derby version of this car a few years back. My Dad was a fan of Jim Clark. I had a penant on the wall in my room as a kid with Jim standing next to this car.

[@TrekWorks]

Pretty cool, Clark was really good. No telling how many races he'd have won if his career wasn't so short.

[@richardpezall384]

Totally awesome work Boyd, the paint job on that is fantastic.

[@TrekWorks]

Omg Boyd that is a masterpice of an F1 Race car you put me to shame great Build .

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks Heath, I've been wanting to build this kit for years. i have a thing for the pre winged F1 cars and always admired Jim Clark's Lotus 49. I've seen your race car builds, don't sell yourself short. You do a great job on them and they are difficult builds. I'm waiting for the release next month of the Trumpeter 1:12th 1966 Ford GT 40 MK II.
That is a fantastic kit and the GT 40 is my favorite race car. Can't wait to build it.

@@TrekWorks Thanks Boyd I really appreciate the kind words I need to get back to my modeling I've got a TOS 350 Scale Enterprise calling my name .

[@flashy5150]

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Great video, Jim Clark was my Dads favorite driver, he said after Jim Clark the rest of them became wimps, lol! Great build of the Lotus, well done!....Bill

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Back when there was no ABS, no traction control, no power steering. It all skill and a lot of guts.

[@KayoMichiels]

And to think... somebody is building a 1:3 replica scale Lotus 49.
