ACME Diecast will release two Lola T332 Formula 5000 racers later this year, modelling cars that Brian Redman and Danny Ongais drove in the US F5000 series in the mid-1970s.
Acme has reached agreement with Australian company Classic Carlectables to use Classic’s existing tooling they designed and developed several years ago to produce 1:18 scale F5000 models.
Classics have already produced several Lolas from the tooling, all of Australian versions of the car. (Classics have also done some Matich F5000s in 1:18)
As far as I am aware, there are still no ready-made diecast or resincast F5000s being produced in 1:43 scale. 43rd scale F5000s can only be found via the most eclectic of the specialist kit manufacturers.
