Looks like a great kit. Very detailed.

Looking good, especially those rims and brakes. Great detail!

[Bennyg]

I’ve got mine on the way. Very much looking forward to building one.

Mine came in today also from Mega Hobby.  While I love the kit, I would have preferred it with an opening hood and fully detailed engine compartment.  No regrets tho...I love it!

[Luc Janssens]

Contacted my local hobby shop, and they're expecting this kit by the end of June.

Probably easy to do. Indycals has decals for it

Motorcraft from Indycals here!!!

I got 3 coming up from the US to Canada next week..hopefully. I too wish it had full motor detail but will settle for the fact that we get a new Gen Mustang of any kind. I'd still love to see the GT500 done by Tamiya as a fully detailed kit. Maybe the sales of this will spark Tamiya to make some more American car kits. They clearly have a good partnership going with Ford, so a GT500 and maybe the Gen 3 Raptor?

I think as many as we here are buying......I hope Tamiya will notice......I'd still like to see a NASCAR Mustang from someone.

Have one coming in the mail from Upscale Hobbies, looking forward to it.

Personally I'm not a NASCAR guy, tho if they did a Mustang I'd likely get a few, but I am ecstatic over the GT4. 

Hopefully Tamiya will notice, to be honest, I think they already have. The Ford GT must have done reasonably well as they made another trip to Canada to scan the Mustang. 

I'd still like to see them do a full Raptor. Personally I'd rather see the Gen1 Raptor, but the Gen2 is more likely, if at all. Tho the Gen3 is due for 2021? so that would be cool as well. 

A C8 would be nice but they seem to only be dealing with Ford.

I've got three coming up from the US this week as well as a couple sets of Indycal decals. Something to work on at work as we head into another month of lockdown.

I have done a lot of licensing work with the big 3 US auto manufactures. Ford is the easiest to work with, offers the most help and cheapest.  Ford WANTS models made of their product. GM is different to be polite......all  I'll say in case I have to go to them again!!

Got mine in the mail today...looks nice at first glance.

Heard the same about Ford, if I remember correctly they even can provide copies of original blueprints 

BTW if one has FB and interested in an online build of the kit, click on link.

Got my 2 kits....look great but will wait until Indycals gets their decals out. 

The reason we have kits by Monogram of the Ford Mustang GTX, GTP, IMSA GTO and Trans Am is because Ford wanted kits and they helped Monogram in a number of ways!

Does anyone have any idea what the paint color is for the Volt Racing GT4? 

[Gt fan]

I’m sure splash or someone soon will have the paint out. Saw the car run ,it’s close to the Menards NASCAR color.

[Gt fan]

I always wished Tamiya did the 95 Cobra r kit as a race car back then. Instead of the street car

I never got a chance to see it in person.

I'm currently building that kit. Started it many years ago. Had the bright idea to paint it black. I don't know what I was thinking. 

[Dave Van]

Indycals Motorcraft decals on the way.....he is doing the black with white logo Mustang too.....get them when ready!

Would love for Tamiya to do the C8. Ive always wanted them to do the Dodge Viper also.
