I recently finished an Aurora 1/32 McLaren in the Surtees/Chaparral livery for an upcoming Can Am proxy, and as the entry list continues to grow, it would appear that many "white" cars (Chaparrals) are being entered....so.....I decided to do another livery.
Vic Franzese entered a McLaren M12 in the CanAm series in the early 70's, sponsored by "Great Western Champagne"...........so since I completed this over Xmas/New Years', "Champagne" seemed to me, a fitting colour
It is far from a replica of the original car, much more a fantasy livery........too much Champagne will do that!!!, but the Champagne gold was the basis for an actual CanAm entry.
Cheers
