Ford GT40 1st Watkins Glen 1968 #5 Gulf
Kit available MM252
The main paint finish is, as we expect, excellent and the decals have all been neatly placed on these models. The small lips on the roof which stop the doors being sucked open at speed on the real car are separate etched pieces and these have been very neatly painted to perfectly match the orange stripe in this area. The Watkins Glen winner has carefully fitted canard fins on either side of the nose and all match race photos well, which is ultimately what we are looking for in a model!

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
