Dave B Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Just finished my last unbuilt Fisher resin. I love the Matra and after hearing 2 Matra 670C's flat out at Phillip Island a few years back I was glad I had one to build. The blue, green and white is all auto acrylic and the wing is bare metal foil. Great build but had a couple of problems as I had failed to completely remove the release agent and the paint on the rear deck bubbled after the clear coat so I had to strip that area and repaint it!! Added a few minor details but otherwise as per the kit Any it looks OK with my other Le Mans cars. Tks for looking Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) A beautiful build of a beautiful race car. Your paint and decal work are exceptional! I'm curious regarding what appears to be Chrysler pentastars on the rear wing; did Chrysler have a racing connection to Matra/Simca?

Rich Chernosky Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Outstanding job on this model. Got this one in my stash and have eyeballed it a few times. Great to see it built. Big fan of Fisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Dave B Chrysler France (1967 - 1979) was a daughter of Chrysler US and took over Simca in 1971 ==> Chrysler-Simca. In 1967 they acquiredalready the Rootes Group (Sunbeam, Hillman, Humber, Singer etc.) in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely great model - I missed it from Fisher but found the very same racer as a resin built-up in 1/24 by Le Mans Miniatures/Spark which is also excellent.
