Very pretty.

Love the shot from the rear 3/4.

Spinners are also a nice touch.

Hi

Very nice but I have a few questions.

Who is paying a lot of money for this Racer if you can have this car from NSR. Most P68 fans already have one.

On the track it will never as good as a NSR? Investment? Showroom model >>>>> yes a beauty >>>>> yes

The Ford P68 is one of the most beautiful cars ever built and this is a lovely model, but for the price Racer charge I'd have expected them to get the decal positions spot on. The placement of the Burmah stickers should be asymmetric, best seen in the bottom photo. And yes, I know I'm nit-picking, but this isn't a £30 model. It is, though, very, very tempting.

...and why is the driver wearing goggles? Was that usual?

 

[Slots-O-Fun]

Racer are beautiful cars but they keep using that pathetic driver (with the goggles). When I did my Vestey 250LM I bought a replacement for Mr.Magoo and it looks so much better.

 

[Graham Lane]

You know, quite honestly, I think Racer should hire a student wargamer to paint the faces on their drivers. It wouldn't cost much for a student to do the quantities they produce and it would really set these cars apart from rest and justify the prices.

and lets talk rivets. two too many per headlight and way too many in de windows........ if its just for the looks leave it! nb, I wish I could persuade myself to take one........I allready have two of these in babyblue/orange, but a redhead is always nice on the side

Couldn't agree more!

i wish-hope their the cheap ones, then you could actually race them and not break down in tears at the first triple salco on one of the turns. glass half full. john.

Thanks for info about Burma stickers Dopamine, didn t notice while preparing pre-production sample
for photos. Luckily we still have time to change position before production.

 

[Mr Modifier]

So does Dopamine get the prize of the pre-production model for spotting the error?

Just noticed that the gold stripe was missing on the rear bodywork at Brands, apart from the back near the light/exhaust etc

Oh well ......
