DeAgostini model scales for F1

The Senna Mclaren and Hamilton McLaren are 1/8th scale, the Red bull RB7 is a rather odd 1/7th scale and is a gas engined remote control model. All are currently available in the US at DeAgostini Model Space. The other Marlowe has listed I don't think were ever offered in the US market.

Thanks for the scale corrections. Do you know if ANY of the other Deagostini ...

... large scale models have been offered to the US market? To my knowledge, they have only been available in Europe and Asia. They do show up on eBay and I acquired mine via that method.

Then explain DM they too are "OUT" and over all always went the extra mile to....

Give us well researched, accurate, and nicely detailed models. Yes they had some flops, but over all their models are some of the best out there and they too are out of the die-cast business. We, the collector, accepted TFMs models some of which were excellent, some not so much. But we still bought them. I think China's labor issue and government intervention has more to do with our die-cast models becoming extinct then any other single factor!
