My good friend Lars-Olof (username "lmracer" on this forum, I think) is a true GT40 nut, here are some photos of his gorgeous Mk.IIb conversion, to illustrate what I'm talking about.

/edit/ Oh, and this one's light blue too, but nothing to do with Gulf! :-)

Jo, wellknow Lars-Olof.
He is always so kindly and invite me in west coast contest, but unfortunately all my modelling stuff is in Italy and (still) not in Marstrand ..The pics of your contest are impressive btw.great skill allover.

So happy also we, in west coast of sweden have the best company in the world producing modern gt40s.Goran masterpieces from sportscars.se. Stromstad based.Absolutely the best at all....but oooops...dont say this to our brit/american friends.. LOL

So, I decide I want to start building, so I choose my Fujimi GT40 kit because I felt like all the hard work was done (parts all cleaned of seams and flash, rear deck removed).

Now, I have another kit on order for $42 from the UK, a resin engine kit on order for $35, and decals from Germany coming for $32. What the hell happened?

Well, that would have been a good way to go, considering I'm only about $60 away from that. But...........there's no decals, so I don't feel too bad.

Funny (or sad) thing is, I saw that kit when I first decided to build my kit, but said there was no way I was going to spend that kind of money!!!

What does that do, just make it a very detailed MkI? Or is that yet another variation?
