Mr. Metallic Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well fellows, I went ahead and took the plunge on a reissue Gulf sponsored Fujimi Mk.1 kit. Now I'll wait patiently for the HRM detail set to get back in stock at Model Builders Warehouse. Still debating if I want to go as far as the Studio27 photoetch set. Thanks everyone for their insight on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all of a sudden I'm pushing that $100 project mark, for what started as a desire to build a nice box stock model hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, its about enjoyment and I'm certain you will get several $Benjamins of enjoyment from this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Caution, caution! As Rex well knows GT40s can become an addiction. In 2005 I was trying to build a complete evolution of the GT40 and got burned out. With retirement coming up maybe I can pick it up again.

vamach1 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Very ambitious project Gary. Hello Gary and it has been many years since we have chatted. PM me. Now for the GT40's. I think you are pretty far ahead of me and always will be. You were making Cobras like JC long before we had thought about attempting them. Please post some of your old builds. They were great and I am sure hold up pretty well even though we have more after market parts and bodies thanks to Brad. Anyway, I've build about ten GT40's and have maybe 20 kits left to do.

cobraman Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Is this just a re box or is it something different in it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a re-box (and re-price), as was done before. Edited July 15, 2021 by sfhess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Scalemates has it as a rebox of the Fujimi kit. Not necessarily a bad thing depending on price. Everyplace seems to project it as upwards of $65 for a kit I've got multiples of at $25-30. Hard pass. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-07696-ford-gt40--1324086 FYI-Megahobby has the exact same kit with the same markings for just over $40. https://www.megahobby.com/products/ford-gt40-9-1968-lemans-winner-race-car-1-24-fujimi.html Now to look at the Meng 1/24-similar pricing but full detail.

1959scudetto Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 one thing is for sure: you can't have enough GT 40 kits... some builts: a few unbuilts: and even some die-casts (in the right scale): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
