Another one of my old builds (and I finally figured out how to properly attach photos... I hope).

I love Le Mans cars and the story behind making of GT40, rivalry with Ferrari and the 1-2-3 Ford finish in 1966. This clearly is something no Le Mans freak would miss in his collection.

The car number 5, driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson, an all American crew, came in 3rd behind two other GT40s. Definitely a memorable car, not only because of the great finish, but also because of the astonishing gold and pink color scheme. You can love it or hate it and that is why I chose to build it as my first 1/24 GT40. I just hope you like it as much as I do.
