Painted in this rich blue with twin white stripes, the R8 Gordini dominated one-make racing and was a success in rallies, launching many French drivers' careers. For modelers, Bleu de France is the colour for R8 Gordini builds in 1:24 and 1:43 (mask the white stripes afterwards), and for any French racing car that should wear the national blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the tone right\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBlues, greens and purples change character with the primer underneath and the number of coats.
