Just finished this new quick builder. I did spend some time doing a few extra detail items. First cutout all the grill areas and replaced with PE diamond mesh. Had to do some trimming of the clear headlight lenses to fit flush, if you don't, they will sit low and not flush. Also painted the headlight details to match close to the actual, however the molded detail is good, it's not exact. Pegasus wheels with knock-offs. I modified the rears for a slightly deeper off-set for the wider tires the kit comes with. The supplied painted rear taillights just didn't look real to me so I made my own from clear tubing and used a red sharpie. The paint is Duplicolor light blue with black base for the Testors blazing orange Gulf inspired stripes. 8 coats of polished Duplicolor clear.

Just started this new Revell snaptite kit of the very cool 2017 Ford GT. Must say its a fairly well done detailed snap kit. The body is very well done and much work went into molding/tooling you can tell. It's actually a two piece over-molded body due to all the detail cavities. Detail work so far, cut out the grill areas and will be replacing with etched grill material. Went with a "tribute" paint theme of the Gulf Livery decided to use metallic's and different hues, I kinda like the result so far. Pegasus wheels painted to match, deepened the rears a bit for a realistic offset and added knock-off spinners. Cut out the head lights from the one-piece "tree" for detailing and better fitment.Same for the clear headlight covers, trimmed to fit flush to the body. If you don't do this the glass sits in the opening and not flush.
