I have attended the show a few times and I will be making the drive up tomorrow. I'm sure there will be a good turn out since it will be the last one.

I use Tamiya tape exclusively now after experiencing the same issues of adhesive residue left from the blue and green tapes and frog tapes.

Nice Build !

Hello All, Show is this coming Sunday !

Came out awesome ! Gonna build this kit so if you don't mind me asking what was the issue with the back glass ?

Try using Tamiya tape when taping off areas to be painted. It usually does not leave any residue after removing from the painted part.

Some not so good photos which where taken at the breakfast table where the decals where applied since it was over a 100 in the garage. Side decals do line up correctly and these photos are just a mock up .

New body painted in light blue with one coat of clear and I have also applied the decals so next will be a few more coats of clear. Pictures coming soon.

Very Cool ! You don't see this kit built that often.

Came out really nice ! If you don't mind me asking what are the part numbers of the wheels and tires that you had ordered from Fireball.

For the plates check Best Model Car Parts on ebay and if they are not listed send him a message on what your looking for.

Thank you Anton !

Was able to get a little bench time in this weekend which I have added some detail to the dash toggle switches plus I also added some black wash to the radiator and I also painted the intake aluminum and the valve covers are now chrome.

Was able to get in a few hours in today to work on the GT40 which I proceeded to tape off the front portion of the body and then carefully remove the areas around the headlight buckets and the lower light buckets to shoot some semi black into the upper and lower light buckets. I also noticed on some of the reference photos i have that there are four supports on the face of the radiator so I then scratch built the supports and added them to the kit radiator next I will shoot some aluminum paint on the radiator and do a little detailing on it with some black wash. That's all for now !

Rich ...Thank you for your input ..... I have taped over decals in the past and never had a issue with the Tamiya tape pulling off the decals so I will tape off the body first around the headlamps and lower light buckets then shoot the semi black first then tape off the light buckets and then shoot the body color.
