GT40 MkII...LeMans 1966

Fujimi GT40 kit pretty much outta the box with Cady decals.

This is gorgeous. Well done.

[Chinacar]

Beautiful clean build of an iconic car! I've built a couple of the Fujimi kits and you really have done this kit justice.

[Jim B]

Great looking GT40.  Very well done.

Pretty baby.

The real ones never looked that good until they were restored many years after last turning a wheel in battle.

Are the seat ventilator rings PE or paint?

[bbowser]

Beautiful paint and photos.

Thank you fer yer comment, all of the seat ventilators are hand painted.

 Beautiful build.  Did you prefer the Cady decals over the Fujumi ones?

[Yeah Nah]

Just wow. That's something else!

[kensar]

Slick black paint!

[Phildaupho]

Very well built. Beautiful GT40.

[Rich Chernosky]

Very well executed.  Those ventilator rings in the seats must have been a real terror.

[Pierre Rivard]

Gorgeous, paint looks like it's still wet.

[Mark IV]

Very nice, wheels are switched front to rear. Deeper wheel is rear

[ChrisR]

Looks great.

[MarkJ]

Superlative in every way. The cleanliness of build and quality of the finish is through the roof remarkable. Thanks for posting it.

[Allan31]

Gorgeous job on that black paint, well done.

To make your build more accurate and unique, so many other builds are missing the New Zealand Silver Fern on the right fender.

 

And the wheels...

Man, I don't think I have ever seen black so shiny and clean❕

I have been fascinated by the wheels and tires on the 1:1 winner.  The #2 car started the race on Firestones (Amon and McLaren were contracted to Firestone) and finished on Goodyears and the color of the wheels varied as well.  The reason was rain.  I have read that Shelby decided that Goodyear had a better rain tire and had the #2 switched over to the Goodyear rain tires during the race.

Fantastic job! More beautiful than the original. Great detail. What a great build.

Yup, Fugimi did get the wheels wrong, but I can live with it.

Cady decals were much easier to work with.
