Alan Mann Racing Ford F3L/P68

[Dave B]

This is my take on the Alan Mann Racing F3L/P68.  I've built it as the version driven by Frank Gardner that blitzed the field in qualifying for the Spa round of the 1968 World Sportscar Championship.  Frank put it on pole 5 seconds faster than the next quickest qualifier.  In the race it rained and only lasted 1 lap before the electrics failed.  What this car could have achieved with more input from Ford we will never know.

Built from a 3D file and heavily modified to reflect the actual car.  Finished in auto acrylic plain red and a nice bright gold, clear coated and polished.  The decals are a combination of my spares, Patto's and my mate Phil, who also printed the body.

Tks for looking

A masterpiece, Dave - this is one of the most spectacular racecars ever, and you turned this 3D printed body into an excellent model ! Congratulations !!!

(I would already be happy if mine turned out half as nice)

[Pierre Rivard]

Wow Dave, such a beautiful race car and your rendition of it is incredible. You have again turned this printed body into a masterpiece with paint that still looks wet and formidable looking wheels. I love it!
