1/12 Ford GT40 + KA ModelsDetailset

Ok finally...
here's the buildreport

http://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.p...odels&start=60

OK...it was a really tough job to achive a decent result but I'm happy with it and in real life it looks spectacular.
The kit was not good the detailset even worse...but I would do another one because in 1/12 it simply looks cool. But I would make in as a curbsite because the detail is not worth all that work.

The smaller scales may be a fine art but I'm a big fan of the larger scales. 1:12 is where it starts to get interesting. Nice job!

That is way more model than I'll ever attempt. And your results are excellent. I'm glad to see you brave modelers willing to build so big and so detailed. Really a beautiful build of a spectacularly beautiful racer.

...and it is hard to believe you would go for curbside. Just let it rest for a couple of months and you will see

Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really a great job on a difficult and not very good kit to start with it...but yours turn out beautiful.

If I ever find one of these kits for sale at a VERY good price will go for it, the only thing that I will get from the aftermarket are the tires, the ones from ICON miniatures look very nice and more accurate than the ones supplied with the kit...in my personal opinion, but again even these do not detract your amazing build of this car/kit.

Re: 1/12 Ford GT40 + KA ModelsDetailset

What a fantastic result, I could spend the day looking at it, was this the car that won the LeMans in '67 or was it placed 2nd or 3rd?

Really, well done on such an impressive build!
