1:24 ASPHALT ROAD 24 HOURS OF LE MANS TYPE 2 BASE - ACRYLIC 3 MM (180 X 357 MM)

A 1:24 Le Mans display board, variant type 2, from Kelik

A finished display board for a model, not a kit. According to the name it is an acrylic board 3 mm thick and 180 x 357 mm in size with the motif of the asphalt track of the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit. The type 2 designation tells apart one of the several variants on the same theme which the brand makes alongside each other.

The real subject

Le Mans is an endurance race run in France since 1923, and its asphalt is among the most photographed surfaces in motorsport. The winner is the one who covers the greatest distance in twenty-four hours, so cars of different categories and speeds meet on the track. For a model scene this surface has a practical advantage: it is uniform, legible and does not overpower the model. The horizontal line of the track also lengthens the car visually, which helps with prototypes and GT class cars with long tails.

When you will use it

• displaying a finished model in a case or on a shelf
• photographing a model with a credible surface under the wheels
• the basis of a scene that can be completed with figures and team equipment
• presenting a model at a competition or a meeting
• protecting the chassis of a model while carrying it

Who it is for

It is intended for builders of car models in 1:24 scale who want a finished setting without making terrain. Because the brand makes several variants on the same theme, choose according to which section of track suits your model: the individual motifs differ from each other and it is worth comparing them against the manufacturer's illustration before ordering. The board is ready to use at once.
