F1 Safety Car Collection

And this one an old RC car made by Joustra

2006 Honda Civic R (FD2) - Suzuka GP - custom build

Definitely a collection with many custom builds. It is quite impressive and must be excellent to display !

Yep, I too have used R/C models and/or "toys"  as a base for desired replicas.   Why not, right?    Being lazy, it's nice to find "stuff"  already done!  😉 

@chris I'm not so lazy, I just appreciate those old toys

BMW Z3 - 1999 Australian GP (custom build)

I need to modify it to match this recently found photo

AMG CLK DTM - F1 2007 (custom made)

Alfa Romeo 155 GTA - Monza 1994-1995 F1 Italian GP - Laudoracing modelcar

Between 1950 and 1960, the Indianapolis 500 race was a round of the Formula 1 championship.

So the Indy 500 pace cars of this period should be almost considered as the first F1 safety cars 😉

This is not a pace car but an Indy 500 official car that I built : 1950 Mercury

1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner - Indy pace car (custom build)

This car was used for the 1953 Pikes Peak Hill Climb too.

@pascal-michels Your '49 Merc. & '53 Ford are very nice!   I have several Welly 1/18 Ford convertibles but NOT ONCE did I consider fabricating a Pace Car - what a GREAT idea.    I'm impressed!    Kind of makes me wonder that perhaps Welly missed out.   Maybe THEY should've marketed one!  

Q:  I assume you're making/printing your own decals, true?     🤔 

@chris 

It's a friend of mine that makes the decals when there is no white to print.

Otherwise, I use decal makers websites

1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air - Indy 500 pace car (ERTL)

1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser - Indy 500 pace car (custom build before YATMING issued the same livery)
