Mirage M1 1st Kyalami 9hrs 1968 #1 Ickx/Hobbs by Marsh Models
The first of the three GT40-based Mirage M1s made, chassis M10001 was also the most widely raced. Having competed for the whole of the 1967 season, the car took its first win at the season closing Kyalami 9 Hours in 1967 and was then mothballed for a year before reappearing for the race in 1968 and winning again, Jacky Ickx being joined by David Hobbs. Marsh Models has made several other M1s previously and as with the earlier models, this is beautifully finished and nicely proportioned.

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
