Speed Record Car: Blue Flame, 1002 km/h, 1/43 Scale Miniature Car

I acquired a model of the Blue Flame, the 1970-1983 world speed record holder clocking 1002 km/h. The nose pitot tube was damaged, so I repaired it. The overall look is quite well done, though the cockpit might be a bit too high.

Speed Record Car, Bluebird CN7 Miniature Car 1/43 Scale

I finally got hold of a miniature model of Donald Campbell's speed record car, the Bluebird CN7. The small cockpit, sleek body and vivid blue paintwork are superbly reproduced in 1/43 scale.

National Motor Museum Beaulieu

Visited the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the UK. They’ve got an enormous collection of cars, from classic rides all the way up to modern F1 machines. The highlight? The speed breakers—the land speed record cars—like the Bluebird CN7, Sunbeam 1000, and Golden Arrow, all legendary machines on display.
