Meng 1966 Ken Miles GT40

Started some gathering and prep work for the Meng 1966 GT40 as driven by Ken Miles. If anyone has some pictures they'd like to share please do so. The Meng kit seems pretty decent. Just started to prep and prime some parts.

Haven't been able to do too much yet. Been gathering reference pictures. Would really love to get some interior shots

I wish I had gotten some interior and engine ones. I think I could of gotten interior ones had I done the tour, but I really don't know.

Have this one in the stash, look forward to seeing this being built.

Original, restored, or a "continuation"?  I noticed the 50th Anniversary badge on the fender and Shelby was never shy about "restarting" production of popular models.

I'm looking for original pics.

Trying to get some painting done before cold weather setting in the Mid-Atlantic region. I ordered some Arcadian Blue from MCW Automotive Paints. Sprayed the inside of the upper body Tamita Semi-gloss Black, the inside of the lower half of the body and interior floor Tamiya Blue. Taped the inside of the body up, primed and airbrushed the outside.
