absmiami Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Appears to be 12th scale ….  Did you get your hands on a CMA  Ford GT kit -  I didn’t think any of those actually existed …. It’s too detailed to be that 12th scale kit from five years ago - and that’s more than five years of dust collecting there - I do like riddles - I like beer too … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A shed find. Should be a good project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I assume a diecast but how did it end up stored without being in a box or at least a bag to keep it the dust out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Pretty sure that's the Trumpeter 1/12 scale. The tires are a dead giveaway. Looks like a proper barn find as is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 It is the old trumpeter kit that's just over a Yr of dust from my shed (ido my spraying in the shed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Your model is the Trumpeter kit from a few years ago. Compare the wheels to the wheels on my build below. What are you going to do with your model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Sorry venom nope. I have it stripped (now just have to strip the paint off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This should be interesting. Once I tried to use lacquer thinner to strip paint from a plastic part. Not only was the paint removed, but the plastic part dissolved into goo. Live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I found something better to power the GT40 than some marker pens and some plumbing spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) As John McKenroe once said 'You can not be serious!' Reminds me of Stefano Marchetti's Sci Fi models of a Mag Lev Bugatti and a Harrier jet powered Ferrari that appeared at Telford a few years ago.

kpnuts Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Here's a quick mock up ( I'm thinking of using some led's and have it hovering) Can't decide on colour gold, blue or pink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
