Gordini T24S Le Mans 1957 #18
Hand built available REN4390M
This was the last true Gordini built before Amedee Gordini joined Renault and was one of two machines entered at Le Mans in 1957, neither of which finished. Renaissance’s kit captures the shape of the car well and there are a number of very fine etched details including door linings and the rather unusual and extremely delicate looking radiator grille. The kit parts are cleanly cast as usual, with a few feed tags to remove but no bubbles and assembly prior to adding those small etched pieces is simple.

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
