Safire6 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I'm just starting this build this and would like to know what colors to paint the engine, suspension, main body floor, etc. Does anyone have any color reference pics of this early Ford GT? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Steve, I did this kit some time ago and posted it here. Some color help but mostly build stuff. I have my build notes and instructions as well. Here is the link to my build: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/152448-1964-ford-gt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safire6 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Wow, thanks for that link Rich! Very helpful! And the period photos of the 1:1 car from Gramps46 are awesome! I'm going to look into replacing the side glass (as you and vamach1 mentioned in the link) with something else although I don't know what at this point. I got this Revell/Monogram kit a couple years ago. When I opened the box and saw the kit instructions, I had a dejavu moment. I must have built this model when I was very young, around 11-12 years old probably. Although I don't remember finishing the model, those instructions must have been imbedded in my brain. It was like a flashback in time for me. I also found some notes on building it here: www.alexkung1.com/scale/fordgt/index.htm that will be helpful to me. Thanks again!

vamach1 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I built the Revell/Monogram kit a long time ago. Here’s another view of a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
