Gulf Livery no.6 Le mans

[Will benz]

Hi everyone, We have been asked to paint a GTD40 for a client in the no.6 Le mans winning gulf livery.
My quest for help leads me to ask if anyone can assist us with the strip dimensions for the orange and dark blue stripes.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks, where did you buy your stickers? I have ordered some from Raceline in Canada but havent received them in over a month and they dont answer their phone or emails.

They came from CAV. Sit down when you ask for pricing. They wanted $ 400.00 for 1 # 6 roundel

Mike the picture in this publication is not of P/1075 Its Bell & Colvell (Martin Colvell) P1084.

A little known bit of trivia, the rear deck roundel on P/1075 at Le Mans 1969 was oddly cut off like this model.

 

[Kev Farrington]

The roundel shape that I and others copied was because it simply ripped when it was fitted. Richie Bray, the JWAE mechanic who fitted it told me that.

That's brilliant! All the technical reasons that have been given for its shape..... and it was just the bloke putting it on accidentally ripped it! Classic!
