Three lightweight Mirages were built at John Wyer’s Slough workshops, the GT40-based design featuring a much narrower roof structure giving the cars a distinctive look. Marsh’s kit captures the unique shape of the cars very well and we see the kit parts made of a typical mix of cleanly cast resin and white metal with a modest level of fine etch and clearly printed decals. There are ten build options offered in total, with two cars each from Monza, Spa & Le Mans and single entries from Brands Hatch, Nurburgring, Paris 1000kms and Kyalami 9 Hours. Small details such as Canard fin fitment vary race by race and this is clearly marked in the instructions.

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
