As if I don't have enough to build!

ModelSpace is absolutely killing me with some killer releases I've seen them intro as of late! You all know about my 1/8 '67 Mustang Shelby I got from them. A model that I haven't touched since I moved and now all the parts are in their respective boxes waiting for the chance to be put together completely down the road. Well, I got this notification from YouTube about another SUPER NICE kit that is GOING to be a MUST HAVE!

Take a look.............

One of the things which is a must in my new place is building/buying more shelf space. I have the room, just not the one cabinet that I had. It's here, but believe it or not, it is literally too tall for the ceiling. Either which way, that's something I want to do throughout this year. Get more stuff displayed that I'd like to see not just boxed up.

Now about the video........I thought this car ran in the '68-'69 race? I'm not a LeMans expert by any means so you guys can help me out here.

The number #6 Ford is the 1969 car and the #9 is the 1968 car.  Actually it was the same chassis, P1075, that ran and won Le Mans both years with only minor differences in the configuration and markings.

Oh OK Gary! The title of the video throws things off as this configuration of the Ford GT I don't remember seeing raced for '66. Either which way, I'm glad they're doing this car as it was a high watermark for Ford when they were into racing.

Not to push you over the edge, but Hachette is currently teasing a 917K in 1/8...

However, the GT40 seems to be lacking when it comes to detail. It would be a shame if they mess up or oversimplify the engine. And I heard someone say the overall shapes are off... I'm just glad I got my 1/8 GT40 all built under glass ?
