1/43rd NASCAR Models by PATRICK LAHANQUE (from France!)

Claude Ballot-Lena's 1978 SPORT AUTO Magnum

decals by 3 Amigos!

Comments from Patrick:
" I search for a long time a resin body for this model, I think Starter did not make a lot of this one. My friend Francis Bensignor, from OVAL 43 range , built the master about 10 years ago for Starter , & it's out of production since a bunch of years !

I found one on Ebay : Bill Coulter made some clean up in his kits, & I got one!

Then Les came in the action !! here's the result !(thanx for the second print : the yellow matches the original much more this way.)

Here are pix of the model , some are among the pix of French magazine SPORT AUTO (sponsor of the car!) and the poster they made for the 1978 april issue #195. Please remember that this french Rookie (notice the yellow stripe ) finished a solid 22nd , it was his 1st nascar race."

Note from Mr NASCAR: "These decals were developed to fit a 1/24th model,
and are available in any scale from our catalog page: 3 AMIGOS DECALS"
