Josh Belvins sent us this photo of a pair McLaren road cars. The car in the foreground is an F1 of unknown origin and the MB McLaren in the background is from Herpa.

Jan Dekker of the Dutch H0 modelcar club sent us some background info on the F1 model.

"There's a picture from Josh Blevin with two McLaren road cars. The McLaren F1 model was, some years ago, manufactured by Paul's Model Art, a German model car company, who is also known for the brand names Minichamps (1:43) and UT Models (1:18). They did a very small series in 1:87, with this McLaren and some Michael Schumacher F1 cars. The model is made of plastic and I believe it was manufactured in China. It is a beautiful model, with very nice details and a great paint job. Too bad they have not continued this series."

Our sincere thanks to Jan for this update!
