2017 Ford GT (Tamiya)

[Jhedir6]

My second Ford GT from Tamiya arrived today and since I'm off till Tuesday I plan on working on this for the next few days.

Colour on this one will be Gravity Colors Ford Magnetic Grey .The Grey isn't a GT colour but rather a Mustang colour but I'm going to go with it none the less ( I've got too many paints, I need to start using up some of the partial bottles I have).

Following pics are of the kit sprues but I'm too lazing to take my own so I'm "borrowing" Jonathan Stephens pics from his "What's in the Box" thread ( hope you don't mind Jonathan)

Body

Brakes and interior bits

Suspension and engine (top half only, no lower block or exhausts)

Chassis pan

Interior and ground effects and other exterior parts

Wheels 

Round rubbery things (too bad they don't have the Michelin Sport logos on them, one of the very few details not in the kit)

Beautiful crystal clear glass.

Very nice stripes ( the white ones I used on my 24hr build covered the Liquid Red with no problems at all) and window masks.

Some more detail decals, lights, grills, interior and marker lights.

Some proper wip photos to come later tonight, first time for some poutine.

Not at all David, your red one turned out really nice.

Stripes going down. Slowly, fighting a cold today, so I've been picking away at them in between Dristan induced naps.

Interesting color choice.  Looking good.  I like the car but not enough to get the Tamiya kit.  Maybe I'll try the Revell snapper.

I’m curious, what don’t you like about Tamiya?

Hello,

  I'm pretty sure the Tamiya is an excellent kit and superior to the Revell snap. Nothing to dislike about it.  What I mean is that at this moment it is not a kit I have the urge to get.  Buying any kit is a hassle for me as everything has to be mail ordered and shipping is getting expensive.  But I did pickup a Revell snap in one of my business travels to Texas.

Thanks,

Fair enough.
