#1 Atlas Brabham, BT-7, but with a gearbox cover that never existed.
#2 Monogram Lotus 33 from US G.P. 1964 resin re-cast (looks as though it has been narrowed by kitman).
#3 Airfix BRM P-261
#4 Monogrram Ferrari 158 resin recast (looks as though it has been narrowed by kitman).

All 4 cars are pretty good 1/32nd scale, the only problem is, is that they are much too tall depth-wise.
When you build your chassis fit and trim the bottom edge of the body so that it fits lower.
Glue a 1/4" strip of plastic on the inside of each side, and profile it back to a "semi-tube).
Applies to all 4 chassis.
This is the original Monogram Lotus, note how low it is compared to the original.

The Brabham apart from being wrong in the engine cover, easily fixed, is now a bit too narrow. I cannot remember how much I added to the sides of mine.
Also look at the shape of the BRM sides the Aifix sides were a bit too slab sided.
