-[GT40 Mk.2 Le Mans 24 hours 1966] produced as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [EIDOLON].
-This model is a model that faithfully reproduces the GT40 Mk.2 that participated in Le Mans in 1966 and won the first GT40 series.
-GT40 has been in development since 1960.
-The basic layout has been decided to be detuned from the OHV V8 engine used in the Midship and Indy 500.
-Initially, the styling was designed to resemble the Mustang 1 that was announced as a concept car, but it has been changed to a sophisticated shape after repeated wind tunnel experiments.
-I made my race debut in 1964, but the result was so disappointing that I couldn't even complete one run.
-Since 1965, Shelby, who has been showing great results in sports car racing, will participate in various races as works.
-And in Le Mans of 1965, Mk.2A equipped with an abnormally long nose and a large displacement engine of 7L is debuted.
-The two Mk.2A cars lead the race at a high pace, with a separation of nearly 4 seconds per lap, but due to the blowout of the gearbox and gaskets, Le Mans of 1965 ended up retiring all cars.
-Major changes have also been made to the 66 model.
-A number of cooling intakes have been added to the shortened front and rear cowls.
-The 7L engine, which showed great performance in Le Mans in the previous year, has been improved to reduce weight and improve durability.
-In the 1965 Le Mans main game, three GT40 Mk.2s started from Shelby.
-13 GT40 entries including semi-works and privateers.
-GT40 leads the race from the beginning, but after 5 hours, the first retirement will occur.
-Retirement continued after that, and four Mk.2s were retired by 8 hours.
-However, in the early morning, the rival Ferrari retired due to trouble, and it was dressed as the GT40 monopolizing the 1st-6th place.
-Eventually two of the Shelby team and one of Holman Moody will be checked, but during [3 simultaneous goals] Car 2 made the mistake of receiving the checker first.
-I got the long-cherished Le Mans victory, but the first victory became bitter.
-The model started by collecting a small amount of materials from those days and existing vehicles.
-Mk.2 has completely different details from JW Automotive's GT40, and 3D data was newly created.
-The location of the number lamps that differ slightly from vehicle to vehicle and the reproduction of the Harribrand magnesium wheels are also highlights.
-This time, we will release No. 1 and No. 5 together with the winning car No. 2.
