I've never seen this model before. That wing is enormous !

@100ford2003 When I display it the wing wont be on the car because the display case it is going into is not high enough for the wing. I prefer the look without the wing any way.
This was the Le Mans prototype with fully faired struts for the rear wing.
I am sure the boards Chaparral collector can add more information than I can on this car.

I also do prefer the way it looks without the wing. What a beautiful model.

I have the #7 Phil Hill/Mike Spence 2F from Le Mans 1967. Bought it a long time ago direct from Exoto when they still had $99 sales!

A terrific Exoto model for diehard race fans for sure. Not knowing anything about this one, I can only add observer comments... it appears engineers utilized every square inch in this rather compact design. I do like that wing though. 😎

Here's a video of the 2F's only victory...and Phil Hill's last.
