Ford GT40 Le Mans 1965 #14 by Marsh Models
FAV
Kit available MM271
Chassis P1006, entered at Le Mans by Ford Advanced Vehicles and run by John Wyer, set the specification for bodywork on customer cars. It was unusual in the Le Mans race in that it was still on wire wheels and the etched examples on the model are very fine. The roof mounted pit id light is missing but otherwise this one looks very good. Chassis 1017 also started its life on wires and arrived at Spa wearing Borranis, although it would appear that the wheels were changed before the race to the more conventional Halibrands. Race photos are relatively hard to come by for this one, the best being on the cover of Ronnie Spain’s GT40 history which shows that the decal placement is correct but that there is a small bug screen missing from the bonnet.

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
