I guess it is no surprise the kit does not have opening doors. As bad as the IMC MKI and MKII kits were they had opening doors which of course allows the interior to be seen a whole lot better. Also - you got the color just right. I have seen more than one 66 MKII painted in the Gulf blue used on the 68/69 MKI’s which of course is incorrect if one wants to replicate the 66 Lemans 2nd place car.
Thaks so much. I can see the interior well enough for me .

You did a great job! Always thought this was a strange paint scheme and wonder who came up with it.
From what I understand there were a lot of white cars in the class and the red was so that time keepers could make sure it was the correct car and GT40.
Thanks , Mike

Well done. I still have a half finished one sitting in the box. Hopefully yours will inspire me to finish it.
The only issue was stretching the body out to get the frame in. It is a TIGHT fit.
Thanks , Mike

Yes, they really are thick.
PS, I’m surprised there haven’t been more responses on your build yet, as it is truely a stand out build... and the GT40 is such an icon... who can’t love em?!
Thanks . When we build models, they only have to please us but fun to share.

Mike, this looks fantastic! ... A very well done job indeed! ... And the tire decals look great!
Reguarding those same tire decals that I also applied recently I used a paper towel folded over three or so times so it was thick and cushy, then after putting the decal on the tire with lots of Solveset/Microsolve I carefully pushed the decal side firmly into the paper towel as it lay flat on the table. Worked great for me, maybe it will help someone else.
Thanks so much and I will remember that trick next time. I am always afraid it will deform the decal , but these seem to be VERY thick.
Thanks , Mike

Excellent build of this iconic racer. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Thank You Gary. It has always been my favorite car since I saw one in person at a Ford dealer in 1967.

Nice work Gramps !!!!

Nice Build !!

I finally finished this GT40 MkII. I know it does not have the correct parts but I like this version and there was a test car like this.
It was over all a nice kit. I did have some issues with the Indycals on the tires, they would just not lay down, even with several coats of Solvaset.
I am happy with it though.
Thanks , Mike

Great execution Mike! (From one of AMT’s worst all-time kits IMO). I particularly like the work you did to make the very crude kit supplied SOHC look realistic and the hand painted safety harness and dash and steering wheel details in the interior.
Thanks so much for noticing it all. One that does not show up is the dip stick and tire valves.
