The front engine Scarab’s (Mk I and Mk II) are considered by
automotive historians and most enthusiasts, to be the best
looking sports racing cars ever built. They also boasted very
formidable performance to match their looks.
If you’re familiar with these gorgeous race cars, then you
probably know that they were the brainchild of Lance Reventlow, the young aristocrat who was a direct descendent of both E.F.
Hutton and F.W. Woolworth,.....but did you know these following bits of Scarab trivia? The body was the first ‘professional’ design
drawn by Chuck Pelly who was then only a 19-year old college student. Pelly later went on to run BMW Designworks in California.
The paint work was done by none other than Von Dutch. “The crew that built the Scarab reads today like a Who’s Who of post-
World War II American racing.” We’ll include this information and more, with each kit. (That quote of the “Who’s Who” is from an
article written by Michael T. Lynch and Robert T. Devlin.)
These will be the first large scale models ever produced of the front engine Scarab’s, and are being made with the approval of
Scarab Motorsports, LLC, whom we are closely working with. A kit is also available. As usual, we have gathered much information
from one of the real Mk II cars, and poured over hundreds of historic photos from the years when they originally raced; 1958
through 1963.
The highly detailed “curbside” models (no opening panels) can be built for you in numerous different versions. Listed below are
some of the versions available of our Scarab models that will be available on a built to order basis. (Please also note that we may
produce a separate engine model, but a decision on that has not been made yet.)

The philosophy behind all of our models is simple. Do it right or don’t do it at all; quality and accuracy are paramount. To those
enthusiasts who are not familiar with CMA, we are world renowned as a maker of exceptionally high quality, superbly detailed large
scale models and kits for serious collectors. We do not over produce any edition; and for each, we place an extremely strong
emphasis on getting the body shape just right along with incorporating excellent detail. We go to great lengths with our research to
make certain our CMA models are truly historically accurate and perfectly finished.There is No other manufacturer of built
models in any scale who can make that claim. Only us, CMA. Where all other manufacturers (large and small) cut corners, make
mistakes and leave off important details - we do not.
The next best thing to owning the real car is owning one of our models.
