vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I will post more pics of the engine. Not much to see in the front compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Nice work. Is it the MPC or the IMC kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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...

RestoModGuy Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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.

Reeves Racing Posted February 8, 2017 Share 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.

John Goschke Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Nice job! Don't remember ever seeing one built. Would love to see more photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
