Don't know what the others will find of it, but only the engine is German.
McLaren is from the UK.
Difficult.

If I was to answer my own question it would be...No! But...checking the stash to see what I can build.

Sorry for the delay, had missed this thread all together the last few days...

James: Sorry, but I too think the line has to be drawn someplace and the easiest (and most straight forward imo) answer would be no. I think for the general concept of a car is that everything is German, pure and simple. I hope I'm not raining on your parade.

I have a whole slew of Campaigns in the brewing that I would like to do and a F1 Campaign is one of them...

Having said that Welcome Aboard!!

Oooo, ooooo, ooo 507, 507, 507!!! Are they still made??? I would make it in white or red and say it was Elvis' ride while he was stationed in Germany 1957...

He leased a white one from BMW but had to return it because chicks were writing messages in lipstick on it! So he leased a red one instead... Sweet ride!!!

Welcome aboard!!!

No problem Brian...I knew the answer once I asked it

I was going through the stash and pulled Kimi's car out and said "oooh, I want to build this one!". It promptly got put back in the pile.

Have one picked out, so ready to roll

Unless I change my mind and decide to do the Trabant I saw parked in East Berlin with the tree growing out of the sunroof.

Just a heads-up that in roughly 72 hrs the Campaign begins!!!

So have a wonderful New Years!! Don't forget to stretch your muscles and limber up your gluing fingers, don't want anybody hurting themselves!

Got a couple of others to finish before I get to this (Revell 1/12 Shelby and 1/24 Routemaster bus)

Still got to decide - the Mercedes rotary project car, VW Beetle or I could now join Jessie with the Isetta/KR200 duo!

(maybe all three, but thats not a promise!)
