Tamiya 2017 Ford Mustang GT4

[Jim B]

Here is my version of the Tamiya 21017 Ford Mustang GT4:

The kit is box stock, and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed building it.  The kit went together really well, and any issues you see are totally mine.  The car is as it appeared at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the only addition to the kit is the tire decals from Mike's Decals.  I saw photos of the actual car online, and it had Continental tire logos.  Well, I couldn't "unsee" that, so I had to add the logos.

That looks fantastic Jim, well done! As we talked, I think you’ve sold me on getting one of these kits!

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys. 

Yes, definitely add this one to the stash.

Nice build sir!

[Jim B]

Thanks, Pierre.

Nicely done ?

Beautiful, clean build. That year Mustang just looks so wicked, and this racer version just adds to that look.

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.

Great looking Mustang. As complex as they might be, Tamiya kits are a joy  to build. You did a great job on this kit . It' nice to see it as it appears on the box.

[Jim B]

Thanks, Mario.  I liked the gray color scheme.  It was a great kit, but I did have a lot of trouble with the decals.  Several of them are actually white glued on after they fell off.  Amazingly I didn't lose any of them.

The tyre decals do make a difference,  looks great!

[Jim B]

Thanks, Atin.  I thought they added just that little bit of detail the car was missing.

Nice looking Mustang GT4.  Great job man.  I bought one of these kits a while back because I heard the Tamiya kits were top notch.  

[Jim B]

Thanks, Bob.

Yes, this Tamiya kit was definitely top notch.

Looks great!

[Jim B]

Thanks, Chris.

Great looking build. I want to build one of these as a “street legal” car. 

[Jim B]

Thanks, Steve.

I think you'd need to make a lot of changes to make this "street legal". Yes, Ford Performance gets white Mustangs straight from the factory (350GT, I think), but everything is changed.
