Legendary Champion on the Track
As the 1966 Le Mans endurance race came to its end, the Ford GT40 Mk.II racing cars powered by a 7.0L engine won their Ferrari competitors. The Ford team¡¯s No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 cars crossed the finish line at the same time. They dominated the race and started the legend of Ford GT40 racing cars at Le Mans. As per the rules, the race committee calculated the distance from the starting point to the finish point, and the car No. 2 which had driven a longer distance was the winner. Now, we bring to you the model of this champion car driven by McLaren and Amon.
This latest MENG RS-003 Ford GT40 Mk.II ¡¯66 Champion (Pre-colored Edition) model will be 343.7mm long and 148.6mm wide after assembly. This kit includes interiors like engine and transmission and features the livery of the champion car of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966. Now, let¡¯s look at the details.
The black and white livery of the champion car is exquisitely represented.
Doors, front trunk cover and engine hood are openable.
The champion car¡¯s No. 2 marking is clear and sharp.
The taillights made of red transparent parts are more eye-catching on the black vehicle.
The unique cab interiors of this 1960s racing car are represented by electroplated parts and fine decals.
The engine bay and pipelines are precisely replicated.
The spare wheel is fixed by belts made of special fabric material and photo-etched buckles.
These straps are made of a very fine cloth that looks pretty good in 1/12th scale scale
These straps are also used for the seat harness of the driver with metal buckles...
The rear of the GT40 showing the large metal mesh engine covers at the back of the car...
Twin exhausts popping! A very sexy be-hind on this car indeed...
The chromed-metal parts included for the door handles are shown here...
An illustration of the engine compartment opened and closed to illustrate the range of movement.
The same with the doors...
The whole thing in a expanded view - not bad at all, we are looking forward to seeing this in more detail...
This kit has pre-chromed parts thatsome will like, some will make their own chrome. Rocker covers, engine part cover, wheel parts, even the rear-view mirror is chromed ready to drop in. Hopefully the attachment points are hidden on the kit.
The aluminium and chromed wheels and tyres are on display int he photo below, you can see the "Goodyear" trye decals below that, as well as decals for the instrument panel or dash as you like to call it.
The decal sheet of this kit. cars #1 & #2 from the team are here so some variation for modellers (or those that want to show two cars 😁. The famous cars of Ken Miles/Denny Hulme or the No.2 car of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon are depicted here.
Ken Miles in his GT40 Mk.II at the 1966 Lemans 24 Hour race. This just happens to be one of the markings included in this kit...
...Also now included in the kit boxing is the rather schmick looking black car from the same race - the No.2 car of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon
The air grilles of the kit are supplied in photo-etched metal, so these can replicate the correct thinness of the body metal or even damaged if you like - the harness buckles for the spare tyre are also supplied in metal parts here. Notice that none of these parts are connected to anything around them, stuck in place by the sticky back that protects them, so there is no sanding or snipping to remove them.
