Taking a break from the regular builds I decided to throw together one of Polar Lights fabulous Ford GT's.
I bought the blue one(hoping for a white with blue stripe) and only painted what I need to for a nice shelf display model.
Used mainly Testors metalizers for the whole thing. I like the aluminum look of the chassis and decided to leave it that way.

Fun easy week build. Worked on it about an hour a night. The instruction sheet is still a bit jumbly, but the kit when built is great.

Nice job! I'd like to see one in white w/blue stripes myself. This color is nice, and w/some effort it buffs out to a most gorgeous, deep shine.
I sure had fun building mine a while back. I had trouble w/the rear window and some engine compartment stuff on the first one, the second one I paid more attention to what I was doing, deleted the muffler, and everything fit perfectly.

Good build, 73. Those Polar Lights snappers really are a nice quick way to get a good shelf model on the shelf.

Looks awsome!! Hopefully, the AMT release wil be bare, making it easier to paint without stripping. Keep up the great work!

Great work! What scale is it and is the paint stripable?

Robert, yes, it's at the shop.
D Lamz, Use 91% rubbing alcohol to strip and the scale is 1/25.
Thank you everyone for the comments. I think with some real time and detailing this car could really show.
