Have a couple of those kits but yet to build one, too many models and too little time so I am envious of the great job that you've done. I agree Robert, looks too clean but a race weathered car is possibly the hardest thing to do. I'd love to learn how to do that but for now it's well above my pay grade...lol!

Nacho Z Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 There is not much that I can add to what has already been said about this model. You should be extremely proud of yourself for what you have accomplished and the finished product. What an absolutely gorgeous model!! Like some others have said, I followed your WIP thread and was impressed with how you tackled each problem. Congratulations on a job well done, Pierre!

Pierre Rivard Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Thank you Larry, Bob and John. I am more than happy with the results, particularly the paint all done with a brush (a 5 year journey to get there) I received a lot of input from fellow builders on the WIP which helped me solve a few issues. Keep posting WIP updates of your Matra John, a pure joy to follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thank you fellows. It was a fun project and after a long search I have finally found a photo set up that works without more than minor post processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Stellar build. You have done very well to tame this kit, and I'm going to remember the idea of using the Fujimi tires. Love the paint work, your hand-painting process is working great. Love the build. Top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Trevor. The GT40 tires have much better proportions vs the kit tires. Only problem is now I have a GT40 without tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
