At the cheaper end of the market, Universal Hobbies do a 1:18th in orange and blue;

For example;

http://www.swapmeet-models.co.uk/eagles%20race/j30...

which looks like this;



the n˚6 1969 24 Hours Le Mans Winner and also



the n˚1 - 2nd 24 Hours Le Mans 1966

I've not seen one in the flesh so cannot advise on casting/finish quality. They also appear to be in short supply, if at all.

UH models are pretty poor quality, they do not do this stunning car any justice at all frown

I suspected as much from the price point, but sometimes life throws a few surprises.
