The
built Escort represents the Zakspeed wheel-arched machine which Roger
Clark took to 5th place on the Monte fairly accurately. The wheel
arches look as if they may be slightly exaggerated and it is far too
clean! The standard of build is excellent with a good even paint finish
and carefully applied fine detailing. For those who missed out on
Tron's high detail Star kit of the 312B or prefer a quicker build
kit, they have released this straight forward resin kit. The main
body, separate rear wing/airbox and base plate are cast in bubble-free
resin, white metal parts are supplied for wheels, exhausts, suspension
uprights and sundry other pieces and the suspension wishbones and
wing endplates are in fine p/e. The 340 America should be an even
easier build though some may find the kit form wire wheels a fiddle.
Cast in a similar high quality resin this will be an enjoyable build.

Porsche 917k Kyalami 1970 #2
Psychedelic Built
|
£42.65
|
|
| One of the most famous
racing car liveries must be the 'psychedelic' purple and green Porsche
917. The Hockenheim car wears this classic war paint while the Kyalami
car has a similar pattern, this time red on yellow. Both models are
well built and look accurate though the decals could have been better
applied in places. |

Ferrari 250GTO Geneva Show 1962
Built |
£40.25
|
|
| Once again Tokoloshe have
come up with a gem of a model at a bargain price. Chassis 3223 GT
was shown to the public at Geneva and finalised the shape of the legendary
GTO. The grille opening was untrimmed and the rear spoiler hadn't
yet appeared but otherwise it is the classic shape. The paint and
detailing on the model are superb and it passes the photo test. The
only gripes we have are that the vac-formed windows don't fit as well
as they could and the three nose top vents are decals, they would
look much better if engraved. This is still pretty good value though.
A colour shot of the car appeared in What's

| As always with Marsh
all of these are stunning. We have looked long and hard to find errors
and can find nothing of any significance. The paint finishes are flawless,
the detailing executed with great care and the decal placement spot
on. |
 |
With the M8F's of Hulme and first
American CanAm champ Revson the proportions of the McLaren and Chevrolet
decals are slightly off from photos we can find but the photos we
have found also vary from race to race so we presume these are correct
to the reference material Marsh used! Dickie Attwood was forced to
abandon the GT40 he shared with Schlesser at Le Mans when it caught
fire after only 4 hours. The M1A and Zerex check out superbly against
period photos. The fast but fragile M1A looks fantastic in its black
and silver paint and we are making this superb miniature one of our
Models of the Month.

Ford F3L Alan Mann Racing BOAC
500 1968
|
£40.55
|
|
MMR005
|
AC Ace 1956
|
£40.55
|
|
| Two more excellent kits
from Marsh, crisply moulded in resin with white metal base plates
and p/e detailing parts. The F3L (or P68) was intended as a replacement
for the GT40 but with the old car still going strong only a handful
were built. Marsh have modelled the black and gold Alan Mann Racing
car from Brands Hatch with great panache and this swoopy machine will
look stunning when built. Bruce McLaren led the race for a while before
a drive shaft failed. The AC Ace was one of the most elegant road
cars of the 1950's and of course gave rise to one of the most sought
after sports cars of all time when a wealthy Texan put a rather large
Ford V8 engine in one. For anyone with a Cobra collection this really
ought to be at the beginning of the line up. The Ford is pictured
on our cover this time, the Ace appeared on
page 5 of FSW 5-2001. |

Lola T70 1st Bridgehampton 1966
Gurney - Signed |
£176.25
|
|
| September 1966 and Dan
Gurney - driving the blue and white Lola-Ford Bardahl Special - became
the first American driver to win a CanAm race. This model appears
to be accurate when compared with race photos and is beautifully finished.
Only 50 examples of this edition have been made, each with a numbered
plaque signed by Dan Gurney. |
