Another 2 quick curbside builds - Minicraft/Academy's Ferrari 250 LM - both have been spraypainted from the can in 1988/89.

The yellow is the could-have-been winner of the 1965 Le Mans race, until a rear tire explosion smashed its chances, the NART car of Jochen Rindt/Masten Gregory took the laurels, and the Belgian car fell back to 2nd place - finished the race with substantial body damage. This one will be reworked (door gaps lightened), some mistakes corrected (headlights, red door stripes only on the right side, rear race # misplaced) and upgraded with some wire mesh in the back.

The white and blue is the car of Swanson/Ennis from the 1000 km Monza 1966 race/DNF. I will try to turn this into the longnose LeMans winning car from 1965.

Anyway, on to the pics - first the real car (photo from the https://lemans.slot-racing.fr/ website):
