Well thought I'd share this build I just finished for the Motorsport GB on the Britmodeller IPMS forum This is the Fujumi 1/24 kit of the Ferrari 330 P4 1967 Le Mans car I painted this in Revell aqua Paint After decalling and gloss coating I felt the car still looked like a toy So off on an internet search I found pictures of this car all Dirty in the Le Mans Race So I couldn't resist I mixed up some flat earth , Nato Black and tammy smoke..and then wen't mad here it is after a long 24hr race     |

Well seangb, you've certainly captured 'the feel' there, great stuff! ;D
Was it from the box? How did it go?
Cheers

But the lens cover for the headlights was a pain but pictures I've found on the web at one stage it had a black cover over them The gearbox etc etc waste of time painting it ..as the exhaust pipes and spare wheel , as all you see is the Tyre Hope that helps   |

Trick of the light. Although I have picture of a number of cars mid race with front ends held together with Black or Grey Duct Tape, but that's for entirely different reasons.

Just for completions sake, the #21 Ferrari finished second to the red Shelby run Ford GTMk4. I think you can just make out the eventual winner to the right of the start line pic? To the left side is a gold coloured GT Mk2 I think. A quick look up shows the white P3 and gold Mk 2 DNF'd. The pic shows grid positions 6,7,8 and 9. There were a total of 4 P4's a P3 and a P2 entred, along with a variety of other marks in the other classes. I'll take my anorak back off now...  Rich |

Details: White P3: Number 25, Pedro Rodriguez/Giancarlo Baghetti/Masten Gregory, Ferrari 330P3/412P, North American Racing Team. Nothing much showing on line, I'll need to dig out some books and see what I can find. In the mean time look here www.motorimania.it/pitture/images/a1_Le_Mans_1967.jpgRich |
