Collector focused description
• Rare vintage Airfix Ford 3 Litre G.T. 1/32 scale plastic model kit produced in England during the late golden era of Airfix model manufacturing.
• This kit represents the Ford P68 / 3-Litre Group 6 prototype endurance racer, a highly advanced aerodynamic racing car developed for international endurance competition during the late 1960s.
• Airfix released this subject as part of their Series 3 automotive range, a line designed to combine accurate body proportions with relatively simple assembly suitable for both collectors and hobby builders.
• Original Airfix illustrated box art from the 1970s era, featuring the distinctive red racing prototype with number 34, widely recognized among vintage model kit collectors.
• The kit remains unassembled and preserved for decades, making it an excellent example of a surviving vintage Airfix automotive kit.
• Includes original plastic parts, clear canopy components, instruction sheet, and original packaging.
• Many examples of this kit were assembled during the 1970s hobby boom, therefore complete unbuilt examples with original paperwork are increasingly difficult to locate today.
• Manufactured in England, reflecting the period when Airfix dominated the global plastic model kit market.
• Ideal for vintage model collectors, motorsport enthusiasts, or Airfix memorabilia collectors seeking authentic period kits.
• A wonderful display piece even in box form due to the classic illustrated packaging typical of Airfix's historic catalog.

Product development background
• During the late 1960s and 1970s, Airfix expanded its plastic model lineup to include iconic motorsport and endurance racing vehicles that represented cutting-edge automotive engineering.
• The Ford 3-Litre GT prototype was developed by Ford for international endurance racing, particularly under the FIA Group 6 regulations of the late 1960s sports prototype era.
• Airfix selected this subject because the car represented the transition toward advanced aerodynamic racing prototypes with lightweight construction and mid-engine configuration.
• The model was produced as part of the Airfix Series 3 range, a category intended for moderately detailed kits with manageable part counts suitable for both collectors and hobby builders.
• Manufactured in England during Airfix’s global expansion period, the kit reflects the company’s strategy to offer historically relevant racing subjects in compact scales such as 1/32.
Rarity
• Early Airfix automotive kits from the 1970s are increasingly difficult to locate in complete and unbuilt condition.
• Many kits from this era were originally purchased by hobbyists and assembled, making new old stock (NOS) examples significantly rarer today.
• The Ford 3-Litre GT subject was produced in smaller quantities compared with more popular road-car subjects in the Airfix catalog.
• Surviving kits that retain the original box, instructions, and unused parts are especially sought after by vintage model collectors.
• As interest in classic motorsport and vintage model kits continues to grow, Airfix racing subjects from this period have become desirable collector items.
