Joe Honda Porsche 917

I have received the photo-journal from SpotModel “JOE HONDA – Sportcar Spectacles – PORSCHE 917 – 24 Hours Le Mans 1969 – 70”, with the pleasant surprise that is signed by Joe Honda himself. Thanks to Spotmodel by this surprise … this is how to treat customers.
The truth is that the photos of these publications are impressive. This issue contains images of the Porsches 917 that participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1969 and 1970, achieving victory in 1970 and 1971. But the best thing is to see the many curious pictures included, such as mechanics working on the engines or cars open with dirt from the competition.
It is highly recommended as a reference book for building scale models since many of the details of the cars not included kits or kits can come with errors.
