Brilliant work. The paint and weathering are incredible. Well done!

Was the spare tire a rule requirement? A throwback to old, old days of open road racing? Or was there still some expectation that a driver would change a flat out on course.

As far as I know, it is a 1966 Le Mans regulation requirement. However, the spare wheel has a different dimension than the other four wheels ...

Great model, you did a first-class job of painting and weathering. Damsls had the Trumpeter kit with the big upgrade set. Then I passed it on because some parts were too coarse for me. Is the Meng kit better designed or similar to Trumpeter. Anyway, well done. Thank you for showing me.
