I have been slowly working on a collection of kits to enable me to reproduce the entire grid of the 1976 Japanese GP in 1/43rd scale. Now this is not a small undertaking as a number of the cars are only currently possible with significant conversion of other kits. However I thought you lot might be interested in the list I currently have to work to. I have about 25% of these kits already and I've highlighted these in bold. Of course some that are left are not easy to come by or cheap but isn't life all about challenges!

1. Mario Andretti - Lotus 77 - Tameo
2. Patrick Depailler - Tyrrell P34 - Tameo
3. James Hunt - McLaren M23 - Tameo
4. Alan Jones - Surtees TS19 - Modellismo 90
5. Clay Regazzoni - Ferrari 312T2 - Tameo
6. Gunnar Nilsson - Lotus 77 - Tameo
7. Jacques Laffite - Ligier JS5 - MG Models
8. Harald Ertl - Hesketh 308D - Modellismo 90
9. Noritake Takahara - Surtees TS19 - Modellismo 90
10. Jean Pierre Jarier - Shadow DN5 - Tameo w/mods for low airbox and decals
11. Masahiro Hasemi - Kojima KE007 - Provence Moulage
12. Jody Scheckter - Tyrrell P34 - Tameo
13. Hans Binder - Wolf Williams FW05 - This Way Up
14. Tom Pryce - Shadow DN8 - Marsh Models (future release not sure of version)
15. Vittorio Brambilla - March 761 - Tameo
16. Hans Stuck - March 761 - Tameo w/custom decals
17. Jochen Mass - McLaren M23 - Tameo
18. John Watson - Penske PC4 - Formula Models (future release not sure of version)
19. Kazuyoshi Hoshino - Tyrrell 007 - no kit known
20. Arturo Merzario - Wolf Williams FW05 - This Way Up
21. Emerson Fittipaldi - Copersucar FD04 - MB Modelcars (future release)
22. Carlos Pace - Brabham BT45 - Tameo
23. Niki Lauda - Ferrari 312T2 - Tameo
24. Larry Perkins - Brabham BT45 - Tameo
25. Ronnie Peterson - March 761 - Tameo
26. Tony Trimmer - Maki-Ford - Provence Moulage

Right now I'm negotiating with a chap on another website for the PM Maki Ford of Tony Trimmer. Wouldn't mind but the car never qualified!

Oh me and Bernie we're best of mates! He doesn't know it but we are!

I've modified the list to reflect the cars I have already. The one that will really cause trouble is the Tyrrell 007, try as i might I'm really having trouble finding a decent selection of pictures!
