Here is my 1/10 scale 1966 Ford GT40 MK II Le Mans winner driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. You can read about the staged finish where Ken Miles was told to slow down for a staged photo at the finish line. Ken Miles had slowed down 10 seconds a lap to allow Bruce McLaren to catch up for the staged photo finish.

That rear silver spoiler bolt & washer should be an "EZ peazy"  thing to fashion from hexagon (6 sided ) plastic rod - OR - replace (assuming they're functional ) with micro bolts, nuts, and washers.    If you're handy - you could remove one or two then cast them in silicone, form a mold, then reproduce as many as you want.   

Good luck!    It's an over-the-top-scale replica; calling this a model is, well.....  just plain wrong!  😉

Just for information the black number 2 GT40 MK II is chassis number 1142 of 1966.

The damaged blue number 1 GT40 MK II is chassis number 0786 of 1966. 

I don't know what the chassis number of the complete blue number 1 GT40 MK II is yet as it is in transit. 

Exoto only made 1966 of these 1/10 scale GT40 MK II cars. 

There are a couple of the black number 2 GT40 MK II cars for sale on eBay, by the time you pay all the fees and taxes they are both going to be $3,000 dollar cars, there is one blue number 1 GT40 MK II on Esty for sale that is priced at $4,500 dollars before taxes and shipping so you are looking at a little over $5,000 dollars for that one.

@john3976 ...still seems like a deal.   There's no doubt, these will be $8,000 - $10,000 one day.    They're incredible works of art.

There are two of the 1/10 scale Exoto Ken Miles Denny Hulme Number 2 GT 40 MK II's on eBay one is in France with a price of $4,073 dollars on it but it is missing the chassis number plate on the bottom. The other one is in America and is priced at just over $3,400 dollars but the hood pins are missing for the front cover over the spare tire and it has no box. Than there is the one on Esty for $4,500 dollars. Those are the three I have found still available. 

I got both of mine from RM Toys in England, they still have a 1/10 scale Number 2 McLaren/Amon car listed as well so anyone interested in that one they have one, there are about three or four others as well on eBay.
