'05 Ford GT

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.



More photos can be seen at my Fotki page:

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.
Chris

I love it!! I'd have to change the wheels out if I ever build one.

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.

Re: '05 Ford GT

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

Re: '05 Ford GT

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.
Chris
