The Briggs Cunningham team entered 2 cars in the 1950 Le Mans 24 hour race. One was a standard(ish) 1950 Series 61 Cadillac, the other was an experimental car with streamlined bodywork and subsequent weight reduction. Unfortunately the streamliner car was involved in an 'off' resulting in time lost due to Cunningham actually having to dig the car out of the sand banking by hand. The end result saw the standard body car finish in 10th place, one position ahead of Le Monstre. A failed experiment but one that left us with, well, a talking point at least! Resin kit is from Roaring Replicars and was painted with Zero paints. Various details were added including the provision of recesses for the front and rear lights, bonnet straps and seatbelts from spare etch and tape, etc. It would be great if a standard 1950 Cadillac kit was available in 1/24 scale, just to build and display alongside the monster. It would show what you can do with a load of steel tube, sheet metal and a little help from a Grumman aircraft engineer 😊 I do hope this hasn't hurt your eyes too much 🤣 Atb, Steve.- 25 replies
