Great thanks . I should have thought of them as that is where I got the number 8 decals for the GT 40 !

Anyone know where I can order some ? The transfers that come in the Magnifier GT 40 kit are no good . They would not transfer to the tire so looking for decals to finish off this kit . Thank you

Love to see you take this kit on.

Great pics, thanks.

Wow ! Looks like you have your time planned out for quite awhile !

You did a great job on a difficult kit. I built it twice and yours looks better than either. I did use one of these to modify into the concept convertible as you may recall.

Putting the decals on . Still a bit more to do plus the tire lettering . It’s a shame that the fit is so poor or that I was not good enough to fix the fit issues .

I believe this may be the same kit offered many years ago with a Testors name on it . Same scale metal kit I think . I bought one when it was a brand new kit many years ago . I bought it at a Toy City store for 299.99 dollars . The red paint on it was not too good and they exchanged the body for one in much better condition . Never built it and sold it for what I paid a couple years later .

Well , I’m beating this model or , is it beating me ? Ya, it’s beating me . Try as I might I can not get the panels to fit any better . Oh , and forget about the front and rear hatch being attached and swinging open and close . Not at all happy but will push forward . Most left is the tire decals and body decals . The fun is not over yet ! If I wasn’t so stubborn I would have thrown in the towel .

Very cool, nice paint.

I will take some of that cooler weather ! It is coming but will be 103 as a high today was 78 at 5 am when I took my walk, that was nice.

Stunning model, very well done !

Looks pretty mean. You knocked that out pretty quickly.

Thanks guys. It was suggested a bit ago using a wire to set in the hole and send the grommet down the wire. I would have tried it but by then I had given up the idea of the grommets and just painted the seats. I sent the grommets off to a member that could use them . These seats were a 45 dollar waste of money IMO. Maybe the kit was too ! ?

You probably couldn't tell what it was because it looks like 30 other vehicles. ?

The old Revell Ford station wagon ( no glass) built with my dad. Ya, I'm old !

Very nice, you did a great job !

Thanks for the kind words. I really wanted to do a good job with this kit because the GT 40 is one of my favorite cars. I'm pretty disappointed but will see it through to the end no matter the results.

I purchased the pre painted Meng 1:12 GT 40 but I sold it to help finance the purchase of a Agoura 1/8 Shelby Cobra . Have not started that yet .

A 1/18 scale Muscle Machine ????

Both your engines look great .

According to Ralph Nader it should have been my 67 Corvair Monza. It was not. I lived in a Chicago suburb at the time and that little car was great in the snow. Corvairs got a bad rap IMO.

Does anyone know why they decided not to include a distributor in this kit ?

That may very well be true but as I say it could just be my failure to do a better job.
