The history of 1/43 racing transporters

For me, the history of 1/43 racing transporters started while collecting Corgi and Matchbox cars. Model race cars and trucks together! Crazy!

Upon opening the box that contained the 1/18th scale Replicarz Lola T500 Indy winner, my immediate reaction was “Wow, that’s nice!”.

Gene Parrill’s Precision Miniatures sold fine metal kits and handbuilt models. This is where the history of handbuilt 1/43 Indycars begins.

You may be familiar with handbuilt models from Europe. The history of handbuilt 1/43 racecars includes one brand born in the United States.

This is the second time we’ve visited Racing Dioramics. Let’s look at another fantastic replica array from Racing Dioramics – The Drivers.

I helped Helio Castroneves win the 2021 Indy 500! I finished building the Brickyard Helio Castroneves Pennzoil Dallara before the last lap.
