2017 Ford GT

[Jhedir6]

Nova is on pause while I wait for the replacement decals to arrive. So I started on one of my TWO GT's I picked up. I already like this kit a lot so I'm pretty sure I'll get getting more than two.

Removed the mold lines and scuffed up the paint and laid down some primer. So far, I am supper impressed with this kit. The detail if very nice and looks quite accurate to the real thing. The detailing on the head light buckets is really good, not 100% correct but pretty close. With some detail painting they'll look more than just OK.

More later today.

Yeah, shipping to Canada from the US can be excessive. I'm very fortunate, I live close to Niagara Falls and my sister is just over the border in the US so I have items shipped to her place then just go over for a visit and pick them up. Or she'll bring them over when she visits.

As far as colour gots, Im not sure now, I was going to do a racing livery, but the decals I had in mind just aren't gonna fit, so this one will likely just be a stock colour with some SMS carbon decals on the chassis.

New Revell. Got two of Ebay last week, with shipping to US address, 16 bucks,. not bad.

David, are you using the Foose Vette for the undercarriage? 

[Ridge Rider]

That looks real good in primer-it really shows the detail.  Looks like I need more closet space.

David, are you using the Foose Vette for the undercarriage? 

nope, I picked that up at my LHS, that pick was the one I posted in the "What did you get today" thread, just recycled it. The Vette is 1/25 the GT is 1/24 the difference is huge.

I got some paint on it last night, I'll post up some pics later on. Just woke up, need tea first.

Am I searching something short or are there none on e-bay? I see two of them and they are asking something like $70 with no box. 

I would like to get one, but can anyone help me finding it?

I just checked, all the vendors I was watching are out of stock. The ones for $70 are the ones that Revell released at the Autoshows, you don't want one of those. They don't have mirrors, they aren't the production kits.

Just keep searching Ebay or check your LHS. In Canada seems none of the distributors have them yet, looks like just the US atm.

Colour down. Love this colour blue. Ford Blue Flame from Scale Finishes. I have to find a blue oval decal for the front, then I can shoot some clear on it. I might even add another coat yet.

Thanks for looking guys.
