Gentle Scale Modelling: New start - again - and a fun way to spend an afternoon!
New start - again - and a fun way to spend an afternoon!
I can't sort out the paintwork on the Mini so I have put it away until such time as I can clean the body up.
So, I am off on a new one. Still on the racing car route.
This is the 1/24th Fujimi kit of Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren's Ford GT-40 in which they won Le Mans in 1966. It is a very straightforward kit. The bodywork was painted black so there shouldn't be any issues there. A bit of history. I set my alarm clock for every hour during the night to keep up with the race. Roger and I were that keen and so wanted the Fords to win.
Here is a shot of the instructions. Can you imagine how fiddly this all was?
I have sprayed all of the black and silver and am now putting the chassis together. I hope that this is going to be a simple build!
