Crazy Ed Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Nicely built Dave, and I like the fact you painted the stripes. Sure gives a more pure Orange than the Blue-Orange the decal gives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Marischal Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Those cars were built a couple of miles from my old school. We used to ride our bikes out to look at them.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miatatom Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great job! I've got a Gulf blue car to do. What the source for the blue you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 MCW Spray or Airbrush bottle. 6431 Skylight Blue http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/paint/ford.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Love it! makes me wanna build mine. Did you also paint the black pinstripe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Tks for the kind words guys & gals. It's the Fujimi kit, the blue is actually Triumph Powder Blue (according to the GT40 forums this is the actual colour Gulf used) and the black stripe is auto pin stripe tape (sorry folks, cheated on that one) then clear coated the lot. There are a few issues with it, particularly around the roundels, could have done better. Ed, still have a Fisher 2F to build, hope you like it when built.RegardsDave B Edited November 27, 2015 by Bantoft correct typo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmathew1us Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Great jobThe actual shade of blue for Gulf-liveried cars is an endless debate on the forums.Did you use 1 mm auto pinstriping tape, or cut it yourself? it looks like it make it around curves pretty well.
