Borez Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) So, my GT40 Mk11 which, for me, was a lesson in airbrushing and 2k application. Ms Borez says it can live in the living room which is saying something really. Pics. There's a few mistakes here and there ( the highlighted window bolts look a bit crap for one, just ordered some clip on magnifiers for my glasses so I can actually see what I'm doing next time ) but I'm generally pleased with the results.

Thanks for sharing I did the Black McLaren\Amon one a while back http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234986369-gt40/ That is very nice too. I didn't realise 2k is available in matt and satin too, kinda wish I'd coated it satin now. Also getting that bodywork to drop over is no easy task either on these kits. I forgot about the rear view mirror on mine but there's no way I'm taking that body back off Edited February 10, 2016 by Borez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Now you're ready for the Trumpeter 1/12. Great experience here for that and you can get the stance on the Trumpy to match this with a bit of work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll give that a go at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbondoni Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Great build! I actually enjoyed mine - I built the black Le Mans winner - and don't recall any body-fit trauma. But then, having the completed model on the desk, particularly if it looks good, has a way of dimming any pain during the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
