Here you go;

www.smtsmodels.demon.co.uk/catalog/classicbritish/classicbritish3.htm

SMTS make some very nice models. There's a Chimaera on eBay ( 7013174104) at the moment for 29 quid, so I'd suggest going to SMTS direct!

SMTS usually make their models to the traditional 1/43 scale.

They are white metal kits and much more difficult to make than normal plastic kits. However, SMTS and other low volume manufacturers do cover a huge range of vehicles which will never be touched by the likes of Tamiya.

I would highly recommend a browse of the Grand Prix Models website where you will discover a whole new world of 1/43 white metal and resin model cars.

As Eric says, they're 1/43rd scale (think Minichamps F1 models)

I've built a couple and whilst they don;t exactly fall together, they aren't that hard if you take your time and are careful and patient. The end result is normally very good.

Sounds good for £30.00.
