Using very similar parts to their 1968 GT40 kits, Marsh here offer seven race versions of the Gulf/Wyer cars from 1969 with two each (chassis 1075 & 1076) from Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans and a solitary entry (1074) at Brands Hatch. Neither car finished at Daytona, but the Ickx/Oliver pairing won both Sebring and Le Mans, Hailwood/Hobbs retiring and coming third respectively. The Brands Hatch car was driven by Hawkins and Hobbs and this one has small etched canard fins to be fitted to the nose, which will need care as there is little in the way of location. Otherwise they will be straightforward builds and the parts are to the usual high quality we’re used to from Marsh.

About Marsh Models
Well established maker of high quality 1:43 kits and hand-built models. Kits feature very precisely moulded resin bodies requiring minimal clean up, equally good white metal ancillary parts, very fine photo-etching where necessary, machined wheel rims, bespoke resin tyres and clearly printed decals. Instructions usually a clearly drawn exploded diagram and often include a sample paint chip if the main body colour is an unusual one. Hand-builts beautifully built and detailed, usually from a series of 100 pieces but LE range typically from only 25. Made in England
