Ford GT40 1st Watkins/Sebring 1968 Gulf
Hand built available MM252MW5 1st Watkins Glen MM252MW6 2nd Watkins Glen MM252MS29 Sebring & MM252MS28 Sebring
The core parts in this kit are basically identical to those in Marsh’s recently released twelve option kit (MM247) but with a different secondary decal sheet offering four more race variants. There are two cars each offered from Sebring and Watkins Glen, neither Sebring car doing particularly well but the #5 Watkins Glen entry winning the race. This version has small etched canard fins that need to be fitted to the nose sides and there isn’t much in the way of location for these, so care will be needed both with the fitting and handling your completed model. Otherwise all looks to be straightforward.

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
