Hello all,
Anybody up for a challenge? I’ve always wondered why this sports racing car was never made into a paper model. I’ve done searches but have not come up with anything. I would think that it might be easy but I’m not an expert. Do you think the specs/pictures can be used to create a model?
American millionaire Briggs Cunningham took two 1950 Cadillac Coupe de Villes and race-prepped them for the 24 Hrs of Le Mans race. One he left pretty much stock. The other he enveloped in an aerodynamic fiberglass body that was dubbed “Le Monstre” by the locals. The stock Caddy came in 10th and Le Monstre came in 11th. Le Monstre had to battle its way from 35th place to 11th place after Briggs ditched Le Monstre into a sand bank on the second lap and lost precious time digging out. First time Americans were back at Le Mans in 21 years.
I’ve collected paper models for years but the last time I completed one was decades ago. It was a custom designed sports car in about 1:32 scale. Tried a couple since then but failed. Copped out and built a few plastic ones. That’s why I’m in awe of ALL models appearing on this forum - the makers attention to detail, precision and discipline.
