Matra 660 Longue

This model was made as a Matra 670 Longue by solido with number 14 and modified by me to represent a Matra 660 Longue. Modifications were, reshaping the front inlet, put 2 deflectors at the exit of the front coolers, modify the cockpit cover, remove the ram air inlet, remove the 2 rear fins, change the rear wing and add air inlets in the rear for the rear brakes.
