nice cobra, can you tell me how the engine detail is? I might put one of these engines into my GT40. I love the colour combo too!

the engine is simplified but does come with two manifolds, one for velocity stacks (included) and another for carbs. there's also an option for single or dual carb configurations. its a good start for additonal detailing in.

The stripes are so straight and no bleeding.
What type of masking tape did you use?

There's a guy in the states selling a beautiful engine package for the GT40's.

The Fujimi engine is way over-simplified. Embarrasingly so. Search around for the Revell/Monogram version, much better engine. Much better kit, too. And about 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of the Fujimi kit judging by Ebay sales...

The Fujimi kit will look quite decent when finished, it's just a shame they did a model that can't compete with a much older, much cheaper Monogram kit.
