1/24 Matra 670 - Le Mans winner 1972

[1959scudetto]

For all of you modelers who have missed Paul Fisher's excellent resin version (as did I) - here is the very nice Hachette 1/24 model (#1 in their 4 - car test run)I have acquired 2 of them (the 2nd is intended to be converted into the long-tail runner-up car of Francois Cevert and Howden Ganley)

Henri Pescarolo and Graham Hill took the laurels driving this one which made Graham the only driver winning the Triple Crown of Motor Racing: Indy 500 (1966) 24 hrs. Le Mans (1972) and F1 championship (1962 and 68):

A little detail painting will surely bring this up - I made a comparison with the Spark/Le Mans Miniatures resin model half a year ago in the Ferrari Chat forum if some of you are interested - here is the link: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/quattroruote-1-24-diecast-model-collection.204071/page-11

The model is actually available from Modelissimo.de in Germany for €  26,96 + postage; choose 1/24 scale and then Hachette Le Mans collection - highly recommended !

Thank you for posting the Matra 670.  If I had not already built the Fisher kit I would have jumped right on this one.

Thank you, guys - it would be great if a whole series would emerge out of this 4 pc. ('69 Ford GT40, '72 Matra 670, '78 Renault-Alpine A442 and '91 Peugeot 905) test !
