Sam Posey was a versatile driver known for his participation in various racing disciplines, including sports cars and Formula One. Ronnie Bucknum, also an accomplished American racer, was recognized for being Honda's first Formula One driver. The 1970 Le Mans race was particularly challenging due to heavy rain, which contributed to numerous accidents and mechanical failures, making the team's fourth-place finish a testament to their skill and endurance.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
