Ben500 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Hello ! Let me share with you this GT40 , originally the kit is to the #2 LeMans version but decals got ruined, so it became this, hope you like it and thanks for taking the time to read and watch!
BigTallDad Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Lookin' good! I have a question: if this is a street version, where do you attach the license plate(s)?
PatW Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Well just fantastic Benito that is one classy build!

Front would be more of a challenge but I had a kit Cobra I drove for five years without a front plate and was never pulled over. Withi this version you even have room for two suitcases and a spare tire. There are quite a few Mark I roads cars but I thinks all the Mark II's were built for racing first. Some of the Cobra Daytona Coupes were street legal and driven so anything is possible.
Matt Bacon Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Looks absolutely fantastic... lovely work, and a great colour scheme. I gather, though there may be room for two suitcases, that whatever you put in them will be well and truly cooked before you arrive at your destination! best, M.
Monty Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Wow, that's just flat-out gorgeous! Would you mind listing the mfr & p/n (ex Testors #2704) for the red and charcoal paints?
Snake45 Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Very clean build, and amazing paint and finish! Well done and model on!
espo Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Great looking "Street GT40". The paint color and finish is perfect. What color and brand is that Red ? Lots of great details thru out and I like the Gurney Bump on the Roof.
Hi-Po Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Simply beautiful!! I really like the paint scheme. I also would like to know the color and brand of the red color.
Roger U Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Very nice build with a beautiful paint job. Edited April 26, 2019 by Roger U
Ben500 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Posted April 26, 2019 thanks to all of the nice comments you guys have posted! now regarding the brands for the paints I used, I' m sorry to tell you that they are custom made , I mean i went to an automotive pint shop and there i just looked at some catalogs and picked a metallic red (base color) then last February a contest was held here at my hometown and won a prize , such one included some sort of paints all of them enamels , and one of those was a clear red one the brand is Licona Hobby Color,( I couldn't tell you if this guy sells international) and such is intended to create a candy effect when applied on a metallic base color( silver,gold ,etc) and that is how I got the finished color on the Gt40, so I guess that if you guys go to your local automotive paint retailer probably you´ll get these materials easily. well I hope I was able to help with this info. pic 1 base color metallic red pic 2 clear red
