Some shots of my RA301 together with a GF-models figure painted up to represent “Big John”. I’ve always liked this diecast although I’m hoping that Ebbro will bring one out in plastic kit form – it would have such potential and loads of appeal!

I’ve painted up this Denizen Figure to represent John Surtees – oops, I must paint in that all important “Dunlop” logo on his race suit! “Wiki” links for more details: John Surtees, OBE (born 11 February 1934 in Tatsfield, Surrey) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and Formula One driver from England. He remains the only person to have won World Championships on both two and four wheels. He is also the ambassador of the Racing Steps Foundation.
