Ford GT40 3rd Le Mans 1969 #7
Kit available MM249
Marsh have done a similarly thorough job with the 1969 Gulf GT40s as they did recently with the 1968 versions and here we see seven cars all finished to a very high standard. The paint finishes are excellent, the tiny etched keeps for the door tops are neatly fitted and colour matched to the orange decals and the decoration is, for the most part, accurately replicated. There are a couple of small decals omitted on the flanks of the Sebring cars (there should be a gulf logo on each door and Firestone above each rear wheel) but otherwise all looks good on the other versions when compared with race photos. The delicate canards on the nose of the Brands Hatch car are neatly fitted and paint matched and overall them make for an impressive set.

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
