Monopole Simca Le Mans 1949 #44/45 Monopole-Poissy by Renaissance
Monopole-Simca Le Mans 1949
Hand built available - REN4373M & REN4373M44
This typically well thought out kit from Renaissance offers two options from the 1949 Le Mans race, car #44 finishing a very creditable twelfth overall and winning the 1100c.c. class, while the sister #45 machine retired in the seventeenth hour with engine failure. The instructions took several readings to work out properly what goes where and there appear to be a few surplus etched parts, but the way the components are designed mean that there should be some very fine detail on your finished model. One excellent touch is the inclusion of number stencils to lay over the front grilles for the painting of race numbers, so much better than decals on etched mesh.

About Renaissance
Excellent kits and conversion sets (for plastic) using resin bodies, white metal parts, lots of very fine photo-etching and good decals. Some castings need cleaning. Excellent instructions. Classic subjects (REN43 refs) are relatively simple builds, while the Integral series (RENI) of more modern subjects are a little more complex. Made in France
