Wow, looks fantastic. I have a soft spot for Astons, I love your build

I do like your GT40 , very well executed

That's a sweet little racer

I love daily driver builds! this is a fantastic little car, excellent finish on the body & neat detailing on the dash...

Beautiful build, love the light looking colour, it looks in-scale too. great photos too Mr Nacho...

That's a tidy little build, the paint work looks in-scale and perfect!

cool build & great photos, I'm kind of jeleaous that you got the engine hood to almost sit down correctly, mine is like 2mm in the air.

It is a superb paint job, your photos are also excellent, there is a lot of depth of field in them, great angles too. I prefer the original wheel (I'm boring) but the ones you chose look right on the car...

Engine complete!

Agree, it's a beautiful car!

Wow, beautiful build and fantastic photos!

I do like this kit, great build too!

Looks fantastic so far, the quality of the mouldings looks good!

It's a good save, a a beautiful finish with that paint job!

The seats were going to be taken from a corvette. but it was too much work. I found seats I wanted in Hiroboy, but I couldn't hack the postage cost. So I ended us getting some 3D printed seats from France for basically the cost of shipping off of Etsy. they are not perfect, but you cannot see the bottom of them when installed, so you don't really notice that they are racing seats. they did require a fair bit of sanding on the backs, but they sprayed up fine - my first 3D printed purchase...

I've added rear belts, the gear knob was taken from my parts bin. The speaker is photoetch from an R35 GTR that I'm also currently building and the and brake is scratched plasticcard. the seats were painted red - but not my best effor of masking...

Scratch built interior bits for the doors - as they looked bland. this is the interior door handle, window switches, and the door arm rest. the Arm rest was made from a tube that was cut down the middle to create2 halfs, the rest of it is 0.2mm thick plasticard.

My first time using Proscale Paints. The grey was thick and had to be diluted and goes on a little darker than Zero grey microfiller. the white is silky smooth though!

It doesn't look like much, but this body shell and the wing mirrors have spent a week and a half in DOT3 Brake fluid, then cleaned, washed, sanded, primered with Proscale grey and them with Proscale white. so a lots of effort to get to this stage!

And this is the finished article - added seat belts and a decal for the steering wheel

Whilst it soaks in Dot3 Brake fluid, I've finished the interior Firstly I masked the edges - then applied in 4 different orientations the Clear Matt enamel, and sprinkled the flocking - in this case a mixture of grey & black - for dark grey flocking

The die cast done kit bits are soon much better than the original kit. You're doing an amazing job at stitching them together!

Beautiful kit and build!

Stunning finish, she's a beaut!

That's a sharp build!
