1/12 Ford GT40 + KA ModelsDetailset

Ok finally...
here's the buildreport

http://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=14074&hilit=gt40+ka+models&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.

Nice work!!!

This looks amazing!

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.

Nice work on a difficult kit :sunglasse

Beautiful job. Great attention to detail.


But I would make in as a curbsite because the detail is not worth all that work.



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

Fantastic job. Congratulations!:)

You made the most of it. Great job!

very nice :)

I so do not agree! Are You serious? That thing is amazing! I'd say job well done!

Nice work, Looks great in Blue!!!! Love all the little details!

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.

Looks like a real GT 40! Beautiful!

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!

Superb!!!

What a showstopper! I am unfamiliar with the kit, Does it come open like this or did you open it up?

Wow that's one of the best models iv ever seen

Looks fantastic, great work, congratulations!

Looks fantastic, great detail

Nicely done - John

So, did it win any races? Haha, very realistic. Almost seems like you can crank it to life.

Great result in every respect.

Fantastic work!. Very, very nice!:)
