MODeller Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Great kit, but beware of translucent white decals, nearly ruined my Gulf version because of them! Cured by cutting out white vinyl discs from genuine F1 material. Another one on the to be completed pile! MODeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Those are lovely kits. And if you want to get away from the curbside version, Historic Replica Models do a nice resin engine and rear suspension set for the Mk I or Ka Models do a full-on super detail kit which will keep you going for a while.

Smiffy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 But do you know I can't find one reference of this car anywhere ..the kit says its just light blue ... anyone got any ideas the chassis is P1071 Well I had a quick Google and found this....... .....and this, which I think was taken after restoration but might be handy for colour ref. .

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Sean.Wasn't one of these used in the Steve McQueen movie "Le Mans"? Or am I mistaken? I seem to remember that one was used as a camera car, but didn't appear in the film itself. I stand to be corrected on that. As for the kit, there aren't enough models moulded in turquoise plastic!

Andy Mullen Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good luck Sean. The blue in Smiffy's pic looks very close to Humbrol #47. Also watch out for the fit in the rear chassis area - test fitting is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Good luck Sean.The blue in Smiffy's pic looks very close to Humbrol #47. And it looks pretty close to Gulf Blue - which is also fairly close to Ford's Bermuda Blue if you want to use a Halfords spray can. Keef Edited as I got the wrong Ford colour - shouldn't rely on my memory any more! The Halfords colour is Ford Bermuda Lt.
