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

A 1:24 Le Mans display board, variant type 3, from Kelik

A finished display board for a model in 1:24 scale. It is not a kit and not an accessory to be glued together. 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 number after the word type tells apart one of the variants the brand makes alongside each other.

The real subject

The 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race has been run in France since 1923 and its course is made up of a combination of a permanent circuit and closed public roads, which are shut off for a few days for the race. For a model scene asphalt is a rewarding base: it has a fine texture, does not overpower the color scheme of a car and at the same time gives the model a setting that a shelf on its own can never replace.

When you will use it

• permanent display of a finished model in a case
• photographing a model with a credible surface under the wheels
• the basis of a scene that can be completed with figures and pit equipment
• presenting a model at a competition or a swap meet
• protecting the chassis of a model and the tabletop

Who it is for

For modelers building cars in 1:24 scale who want to give a model a setting without working with terrain, plaster and paints. It is also suited to collectors who often rearrange their models: the board withstands repeated handling and can be carried with the model standing on it. Before ordering, compare the motifs of the individual variants against the manufacturer's illustration and choose the section of track that suits your model best.
