A long time ago in the very early '70s, Solar Productions released a film featuring not a lot of dialogue or plot and which didn’t make a big splash with the general public at the box office. However this film was no flop IMHO, but an inspiration! It featured the coolest actor in the world, racing the coolest car in the world, in the coolest race in the world. Sounds cool huh? The fact the cool guy in question ends up crashing out and not taking the glory for himself in the end makes this cool scenario even …umm... cooler!
That film was Le Mans, the actor Steve McQueen and of course the car - Porsche’s immortal 917K. This is my attempt to pay homage to that car in 1/24th scale.
The basics: Fujimi kit, HRM engine, Studio 27 PE, Renaissance PE and decals, and a lot of styrene. Progress thread with all the nitty-gritty detail stuff can be found
