S10man Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 My latest project. I started with the Union kit, and did a fair number of body mods to make it more realistic. Engine is fully wired and plumbed, lots of little extras like the brass surround for the carb, custom made shocks. Decals are Cady, paint is Duplicolor gloss black engine enamel + Future. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoPed Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Cool!! I've never seen one of those ex-IMC kits, built or not - nice work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10man Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks Brian! This kit ranks right up there with the worst from AMT in terms of fit and molding. I'm doing a MK IV from the same company, and it is 100% better in terms of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zebm1 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yur a brave man Billy, I remember that kit. I bought one of tha Revell GT's over a decade ago instead....still haven't decided which Ford racer to model or if I will build it into my own entrant. :wink: Nice job turning a marginable kit into something nice. Zeb :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 What a great job on this one!...I know it, because, I did one of this GT 40's and believe me, it does't has the level of todays models, despite, It was considered a high level model back in the 60's. I would like to share what I did (if you allowe me)with the 1964 Le Mans version of this model from IMC, specially for Monoped, who haven't seen one of this before.

MonoPed Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Very cool, Simon!! I just got my hands on the recent Fujimi kit of the 1969 Gulf Oil GT40, and it looks downright simple compared to these two builds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10man Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Good work on that one Simon. Tough little kits to make presentable, but worth the effort for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
