PM 1/43 Morgan Le Mans racer

Next off the blocks- the 2002 Race Sports Salisbury Morgan. This was run by a team 5 miles from where I live, and Westover who sponsored it look after my Lotus for me. It's a kit I've wanted to do for a while, and luckily I managed to get one just as PM went boom!



It'll join my collection of odd-ball British Le Mans runners. The ACO had to bend the rules in a variety of ways to get this car in... modern GT rules don't really cover cars with running boards.

Still to do are the rear wing, tyre decals, glazing and photo-etch grills and details. It's only rested on it's wheels in the photos, the frontsshould be further out in the fenders. All told it should be done by the end of the week.



Let me know what you think.

Depends what you're looking for. 1/43 offers a pretty wide range. I guess one of the biggest challenges is keeping up with releases. But maybe that is all model building.
