Excitement all round. I have just finished watching Ford v Ferrari with Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
Very enjoyable. However, I am a big fan of this 1966 Le Mans and the ending didn't quite get it right! Ken Miles didn't cross the line first and then find out that he came 2nd. Bruce Mclaren edged his car into first right at the line. However, the film got it right in that, even if McLaren hadn't done that, he would still have won because he started further back at the start and the race was judged on distance, not final position! Here is my take on the end of the race.
At the club last week we got to sit down and compare the two models. The consensus was that the Fujimi was the better kit all round. The body fitted, the suspension was much more delicate and detailed and overall it looked just that bit more like a GT40.
In fact, I am so disappointed with the Meng kit that I have just ordered the Fujimi example.
I still have plenty of the Zero Paints colour left. The kit should be here next Monday.
In the meantime, my 2nd copy of the Hasegawa S-3A Viking has arrived so I am starting that .
I have got the fuselage together and added the nose weight. I didn't paint the cockpit grey as it can only be seen through the canopy so any grey will do!. I did paint the seats though.
I must crack on so that I am ready for the GT40!
