The BAR-Honda 007 was an evolution of the previous 2004 season's 006 which led the team's charge to second place in the championship, despite the dominance of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari.
BAR designers managed to save significant weight over the 006, despite greater safety testing being required, with a smaller, tighter design. Honda created a brand new V10 unit, which itself was smaller, light and had a better centre of gravity.
Driven by future world champion Jenson Button and Japanese driver Takuma Sato, the 007 was a midfield runner. Button achieved two third place podium finishes during the season,
but the team could only finish sixth in the constructors' championship, scoring 38 points.
With a modified version of the 007 the team attempted to establish a Formula One car land speed record and managed 246.91mph (397.36 km/h), but the record was never declared official by the FIA.
This fine 1:8 scale model of the BAR-Honda 007, as raced by future world champion Jenson Button, has been handcrafted
and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Honda regarding original finishes, materials,
archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore,
it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.
we create models at a range of scales. For those of you unfamiliar with the way the system works, these scales represent the ratio between the size of a model and its full size counterpart. Here are the scales we make with the average lengths of the model alongside. Put simply, the bigger the number to the right of the colon, the smaller the model car:
Sculpts…...11 cms (4 inches) long
1:18…...25 cms (10 inches) long
1:12…...38 cms (15 inches) long
1:8….....60 cms (24 inches) long
1:5….....92 cms (36 inches) long
1:4. ….120 cms (48 inches) long
The model was produced in the usual Cult Scale Models high-quality and reflects back the original as possible. Made from resin.

Resin casting is used to produce collectible and customized toys and figures like designer toys,garage kits and ball-jointed dolls, as well as scale models, either individual parts or entire models of objects like trains, aircraft or ships. They are generally produced in small quantities, from the tens to a few hundred copies, compared to injection-molded plastic figures which are produced in many thousands.
Resin casting is more labor intensive than injection molding, and the soft molds used are worn down by each cast. The low initial investment cost of resin casting means that individual hobbyists can produce small runs for their own use, such as customization, while companies can use it to produce small runs for public sale. Quality of both original masters and resin castings varies due to differences in creator's skill, as well as casting techniques.
