Re: Ford GT40 - 1969 Le Mans Winner

i build one time ago but wasnt satisfied by the result. Fujimi in this kit made the correct wide rear, but didnt change the front wheel fenders. On gulf cars they are quite wider also there. u can see it here:

Also be carful when u join the 2 parts (up and down) cause in my kit they fit terribly, and was a pain of crakk crakk crakk to make it close.

recently I scrapped that model I did thinking at a serious rebuild.

Lovely build of this kit.
I must admit to being a 'Gulf' fan, hence my recently wrapped XK8......

Re: Ford GT40 - 1969 Le Mans Winner

Typically first class masking job from you; looks great!

I also have this kit in my stash and have pretty much decided it's next in queue. Provided I ever finish the Hiro 908 I'm working on. I understand HRM has an engine available for this car if you don't want a curbside.

Will be interested to see what you make of it, but great start!
