Die Cast - - Exoto 1/18 1967 Chaparral 2F Can Am (Le Mans) - ETO RLG18171 (Arrives Summer 2004) - Exoto
Naturally, developments throughout the season had altered the radical 2F into an increasingly quick and agile competitor. Jim Hall's Chaparral team wasn't one to sit around waiting for the competition to catch up either. For Le Mans, the pair of 2Fs featured several new developments including wing struts that were now fully faired. The pair of cars entered for the classic race were identically prepared. The Le Mans-specification Chaparral 2F was its ultimate development. Had the FIA not decided to limit engine displacement to 5.0 litres for the 1968 season, Chaparral would certainly have continued to develop the 2F into the unbeatable machine it clearly had the potential to become. Each wonderful miniature replica features 7 to 9 opening parts depending on body configuration and a wealth of intricate detail. Furious detail and finish have been pushed to even higher Exoto limits! The removable body panels fit together with unparalleled precision. Butterfly doors open on piano hinges that are flush with the bodywork, and the drivers door is held open by a functioning hydraulic shock. Photo-etch metal and genuine wire mesh parts add subtle detail to an aerodynamically efficient body and a glorious paint finish. Beneath the skin you will find miles of real metal wire, genuine braided lines, functioning steering and suspension, accurately routed air ducts including flexible brake cooling hoses, machined aluminum brake discs that turn within fixed calipers, accurate chassis with all the Chaparral aerodynamic tricks, fabric seat belts with photo-etch hardware, and more.
