Dave B Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I built his a while back using 'The Ford That Beat Ferrari' & 'Shelby's GT40's' as reference material. Had to hand shape & vacform the glass & I didn't get the windscreen quite right. I may get around to redoing it but would need to secure another set of Fred Cady decals first, at least I have the spare Fujimi Mk11!! I also have the Mini Exotics X1 resin to build so that should look good together. Thanks for looking Dave B
Boreham Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 immaculate and rare version of the GT40. excellent..
jsimmons Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 That's gorgeous. I was thinking of getting one of the Fujimi kits.
David G. Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 That's one pretty build. A good candidate for the real or model contest... if we hadn't already seen it! David G.
Raul_Perez Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Nice paint work on a really cool car!! Thanks for sharing,
Dave B Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Tks guys, it was fun building it & it is a little different s race cars go. Regards Dave B
Peter Lombardo Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Very nice job, very very clean and meticulous. I guess there is something about that car that makes one want to replicate it....it should have been a kit by Fujimi. I felt compelled a few years ago to do one. I was happy with my windshield that I vacuum formed by hand (not easy to do....done long before I got a unit to do vacuum forming) but not thrilled with my side windows....so like you one of these days I will have to fix the issues with it. Well, here's mine. Again, very nice job on her.
Jairus Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Very nice job modifying the Fujimi kit! I love that one and have built a couple myself. However, here is a nice Monogram version I built up using the same windshield.
Dave B Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Peter, Nice build, I originally did mine the same but luckily I noticed the side windows in time to correct. Jarius, I have that built from a slot car body, I didn't realise it was Monogram, I thought Japanese but didn't know what brand. I shall post a couple of pics later but I am definitely going to rebuild that one, I'm not at all happy have selected the 'restored' #15 with wire wheels Tks again guys Dave B
