vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) When is the last time you saw one built. I finally finished this one. I added black paint around the windshield after I took the photo. Edited February 8, 2017 by vamach1 Picture
Snake45 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Haven't seen one built in decades, and maybe NEVER one in person. You did a fine, fine job with the old kit! Drive on!
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 I will post more pics of the engine. Not much to see in the front compartment.
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Nice work. Is it the MPC or the IMC kit?
Snake45 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Nice work. Is it the MPC or the IMC kit? According to the thread title, it's MPC. At least that's the way I interpreted it.
Rob Hall Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Sharp...never seen one of these kits in person, I assume they have a lot in common w/ the MPC GT40 Mk IV kit...I have a couple of those, the issue with the trailer (have the box but the trailer is missing) and the 80s reissue...

FordRodnKustom Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Wasn't it a clear kit? greg Should be..... I have a few old built ups that are clear. Outstanding build Rex! Great to see one built. Edited February 8, 2017 by FordRodnKustom
RestoModGuy Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Well done, would like to see more pics. I have this original MPC kit in my to be built "Hot Wheels" Sweet 16 tribute builds. I paid a lot of $$$ for my kit, looking forward to building it as nice as yours
Reeves Racing Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Great job.I love these old IMC / MPC / Heller / Lendberg / AMT / Union kits. I have built the Ford Mark 4, the Ferrari 512M, the Porsche 908 and just picked up the Chaparral 2E and Lola T70 and I am going to build them both. Edited February 8, 2017 by Reeves Racing
John Goschke Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Nice job! Don't remember ever seeing one built. Would love to see more photos.
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 It was clear but I painter the inside and outside flat while and then slog white and there the blue parts. I also buil the IMC J car which is much smaller and represents another variation of this test mule for what becam the Mark IV.
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 I added the tail lights from the 69 Shelby Mustang but otherwise the build it stock. The 1/43 JCar is a resin kit by Saphirre. The other one is the IMC kit.
bbowser Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Beautiful work! I built one of these way back when I was a kid, would love another crack at one but they seem to be unobtainium
Allen Wrench Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Super nice job! I've always been fond of that car.
TooOld Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I also built the MPC kit as a kid leaving it clear , always liked the look of the J-Car body style . Beautiful job !
D. Battista Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Love these old Ford racers..! You did a nice job on this one...! Very COOL.... thanks for sharing...!
vamach1 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks Everyone. Did anyone notice all the GT40's in the background?
vamach1 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Working on the ARII GT40 next. Basically a slot car but I'll use some IMC or Fujumi parts to jazz it up. Edited February 10, 2017 by vamach1 typo
